Hello, everyone. It's past time that the Faerun maps get updated mapfiles, so that is exactly what is going to be in the offing in a few days. List of things to fix has included making Vanheim suck less and giving them a land bridge to the continent, fixing a several terrain type bugs and neighbor issues and updating a couple of other things that had been broken by patches to the game. And fixing the problem that killed all the starting troops for Man.
However, I mostly need feedback on the following issues:
- I've seen some comments that gave me the impression that there are too many free water gem sites in the northern provinces (the ones that have Frozen Lands as a known feature) and that it helps kickstart clam hoarding for several nations. Is this a problem on either version of the Faerun map and should some of these known sites be removed?
- Some of the special scripted provinces have pretty harsh garrisons, I would like to know which ones are overpowered and which ones are underpowered considering what you get for your trouble when you crack them open.
- Is there call for the special province rewards to be altered?
- Are there any other issues that would need modification or balancing with the current starting location setup?
- Any other concerns or opinions about the maps you would like to talk to me about.
That's about it, now start blasting away. Just remember to tell me whether your comments apply to the small map, the large map or both. Noting how many games you've played on the maps will also be helpful. Note also that I will discard all feedback that is not backed up with solid reasoning. "Because I think so" without saying why will not cut it.
Thank you in advance.
