19 provinces each would make an intense blitz (imagine if starting provinces was set to a high number

half of them are underwater too, to allow for atlantis and rlyeh -

heres a funny occurance though, I got on a dry run, I have a province set to sea, also no start (i believe) and it lets me recruit normal infantry types and a scout... who all drown once recruited. whats causing this?

Ok I'm having a problem with #feature and #commander lines not taking. can I email the map to someone who knows better what they are doing and tell me what I am doing wrong?

just post it. A problem with #feature may be that it gets overwritten by the sites which the game adds randomly. So if you are playing with high magic sites setting(50+), some features might not show up.

well the problem is that they are showing up as like nifelheim and other national sites instead of what I am setting them as. Also commanders show up as the normal commanders instead of the ones I set, although their magic changes as I set it, but they aren't getting the items I give either.

here it is: LINK

hmm I noticed that the "" symbols are different for the landnames and for the commander names and sites. Maybe the program needs those standardized "" symbols? Try editing your mapfile with the normal windows editor and see if that helps.

Although I�m no expert on map commands, I couldn�t find anything wrong with yours apart from that oddity.
