PBEM game: King of the Hill (Over)

[Alneyan]

Welcome aboard Rainbow!

I have finished doing my basic modifications to the map; it may not be complete yet, as I have not fully tested all six positions to compare their ease of access to the Hill. For example, I had set up one of the nations right in the middle of several farmlands, which would be harder to take than poorer provinces, and there may be other similar occurrences in the current Version.

The main changes are as follow:
- Removal of six starting points, and some changes of a few others (namely the ones that were two provinces away from the central outer province, instead of the regular three).
- Normalisation of the South East outer isle, as Cainehill pointed out.
- The former sea province near the South East isle (128) has been turned into fresh water, as it otherwise slowed down the SE player too much. (I am not too fond of my solution, and farmland seems rather odd in the middle of a lake, but...)

The main problem is that the colours of special provinces no longer matches with their true nature (in the case of a few starting points, and the SE central province). I will give the list of the six starting points when the game starts, as this information is available by simply looking at the map file, but the SE matter is a bit more annoying.

The current map file is attached to this post. You should download the Theater of War map from Illwinter, extract it in your maps directory, and do the same with the theater6.map file (attached to this thread).
