Warthog - running

Request, while it can still be changed. Strip out all the pre-set sites from Shahrivar, they're very asymmetrically distributed.

[Fantomen]

They are, but we are using a version where their power has been toned down to not imbalance the game too much. There is no discount or mage recruitment sites for example. And nothing too extreme in other areas either I think. So hopefully it won't be such a big deal.

That said, feel free to have a look at it and if you think it is still a big problems you may do a fixed version. The map can be changed without recreating the game so it's trivial for me to switch between finished map files. But I have never mapmodded and don't have time to do it before we start.

This is not a reason to not upload pretenders! Come on folks!

[Squirrelloid]

If you're using the 'balanced' map version, i'm pretty sure there are still preset 3-5 gem sites on teh map. Needless to say, this is not cool.

[Fantomen]

It's the one Burnsaber adjusted some time back. I've played a few MP games on this version, I personally think it is ok. I like the special sites. But I don't really care. You want to fix it? Just go ahead and I'll change it if you do it tonight.

[Squirrelloid]

If you really want to play with it with some set sites in, that's your perogative. But some starting spots are rather gem poorer than others based on pre-set sites alone. (In particular, the west end of the map seemed better off overall than the east end of the map, with the east center being notably bare.)

[Fantomen]

I'm not arguing your point, you're 100% correct in your statements. It's just that I think it's a minor problem and can't be arsed. As I said, I'm completely indifferent to the issue. It's much more important for me to get started asap.

Either fix it or don't fix it, whatever you wish, but I'd like to start the game today. End of discussion.

Ok, attached is the fixed map file. (Which is only zipped because shrapnel won't allow uploading of .map files).

All i did was delete the section of known sites of shahrivar. It took like 10 seconds. (Ok, i renamed the map too so it can be found). It uses the same .tga file as the burnsaber version.

The only person who needs this is Fantomen, so it can be uploaded to llamaserver and added to the game. But if you want a copy, whatever.

[Fantomen]

I wasn't aware it was that trivial actually. Couldn't open your .rar file on my mac so I edited the mapfile myself. So I have been completely wasting your (about 10 seconds) time I'm afraid.

Feel free to facepalm

Anyway, map switched. Now where are those last pretenders? Seriously, get them in today!

[Squirrelloid]

my pretender will have to get in tonight, sorry.

[Squirrelloid]

Ok, pretender submitted, but, um... you do realize WH 1.9 includes a CBM 1.6 mod, right? And trying to use it and CBM 1.6 and it at the same time will work badly.

I should have looked before submitting my pretender. We'll probably need to restart.
