I didn't realize cbm automatically nerfed the big sites. I guess I should pay closer attention.

As for the rest, knowledge is power!

LOL, would be extra fun to watch ppl go at each other's throats to get to those sites.

I just noticed that they're also visually marked on the map so noon can miss them muhahahaha

I think that was the point of adding them in the first place.

WL, in my test game I have Oak of Ages in the Oak of Ages province.

I think cbm does not weed it out because it is hardcoded in the .map file. Has anyone else tested on the map? That province will be a bloodbath for sure. Unless I missed an update somewhere.

*sigh*

You're right. Thank you for the heads up.
I don't have real understanding of map syntax. I gathered that "feature" means site. It sorta made sense and I think it's true. However, in light of your finding I searched the map file again and found another keyword- this one I think is for OP sites

I found these when searching that keyword:
"Mount Frost"
"Frozen Lands"
"Well of all Waters"
"The World Pillar"
"Chillsick Swamp"
"Oak of Ages"
"Volcano"
"Skull Temple"
"Mount Frost"

This is not good. I don't know what each site does but I don't like the sound of it.
I guess I could use trial and error to remove them and UL a "no OP special site Orania". I'm not sure I'll have time to actually test it though

ok. I think I managed to fix the map. I'll appreciate any feedback WRT the fix. I'll also do what I can to test it.

EDIT: Guys, plz take into account that the game will use this fixed map so, as far my understanding goes, this means you'll need it on the map folder.

WL, can you come to irc? GFsnl and I were just discussing a possible quick fix, replacing oak of ages and mount frost with lesser sites.

Oh, I was fast asleep when you posted this.

Can you please PM or email me with the details?- I'm in and (mostly) out of the house today so I won't really have contiguous dominions time slot until much later this evening. I'll PM you with my email.

Thanks!

EDIT: Oh and so far my fixed map looks good. Works like a charm after removing 8 powerful sites.
