Done and, as requested, I'll switch Wrana to Helhiem as he originally requested.

Enjoy your strangling Militarist.

Why don't we open up recruiting again, while this gets figured out?

I think it's probably best to skip the confusion and just use a different map. One that we know works. Game is back up again and is called Betelgeuse2x. We will be using Shahrivar as our map this time.

There are several versions of that map. One has a preset 60% blood magic site in the NE corner.

May I suggest the Sombre/Burnsabre(I think?) rebalanced for MP version? It eliminates some of the most unbalancing preset sites.

I can find it if you are not sure. A very nice map BTW.

I agree with Stagger Lee. You want this version as it replaces Summoning Circle with Riddle Dark in 158. Summoning Circle would be unfair in this game... probably most games.

Edit: Double post. Please ignore this.

Map has been changed to the proper version. Apparently it was already uploaded. You guys only need the image file anyway, so I'm leaving the OP as is. Go ahead and send in your pretenders now. I'm sure we've got things right this time.

Sorry, but could you find a map with a bit of water in it? I think Vanaheim will agree with me (though many others probably won't)...

Random wandering commentary:
Shahrivar doesn't have much water, but what water it does have retains the use of sailing. Just check out how few ways there are to cross north south, and where sailing lets you cut around features on that lake. It is more useful than it at first appears. I mean, its not the best map for sailing ever, but what is?

I'd recommend deleting all the pre-set sites from the map. Even the version you're using (if its the same as for landlubber) has a large number of pre-set sites, many of which are rather nice. (ie, 3+ gems, etc...). If you don't, I recommend every player learn how to read a .map file, Edi's DB, and figure out which sites are preset, where they are, and what they do.
