4 player MA PBEM game - started

Oh, the map file crashes the game because it points to GreyWizard4.rgb when it is actually named GreyWizard.rgb. Easy to fix yourself of course.

Darn, I there are only border mountains on this map meaning no wonderful peg-castles for Ulm.

Darn, I there are only border mountains on this map meaning no wonderful peg-castles for Ulm. Could you perhaps generate a map with the real mountain switch, or am I asking for too much?

Um, I don't know. How do I do that?

I've fixed the map in the first post, but I'm happy to change it to have real mountains (I didn't realise you could have unreal mountains).

Border mountains are fine and all, but as they don't hinder movement as regular mountains and don't count as mountains when you are building fortresses they kind of takes away a bit of the game. There should of course be border mountains where there are border mountains, but I don't think the map generator takes notice to that (and how could it?).

To get regular mountains, uncheck the border mountains box prior to the map generation.

Thank you very much for doing this.

Okay, well after an educational half-hour I've edited the original map file so that border mountains are replaced with real mountains. I think that's the best of both worlds, so that the mountains still provide natural barriers and choke points, but also work properly. I've changed the first post so it has the new, fixed version of the map.

Sorry for putting you through all this. But maybe the knowledge was worth it?

Oh definitely, it was a useful thing to know. I've been wondering for ages why my men could sometimes walk through mountain provinces unimpeded.
