Yep 500 provinces and 20 neighbors each. With the mandatory terrain commands thats alot of lines. I hope there isnt an upper limit on .map file size since I was up to adding a dozen lines for each province with my scripts.

Also apparently something like only 27 maps can be listed for selection.

Max nbr of maps are now 5 times higher. Do you really need more than 500 provinces or 20 neighbours?

Thanks Kristoffer, I really appreciate that. Ive also found that apparently either -T (text mode) or the --mapfile switch keeps the max number of maps from being a problem. I was able to start a game with the 39th map on the list if I specify it on the command line when I start the game. That will work fine for scripting.

Once a game is started can the map can be deleted from the host maps directory? I still have a vision of tossing random generated maps in and starting games from a web interface. I figure I can have 100 games running at once. I know that sounds like alot to people reading here but games can Last for months so if you wanted to always have a game open for signups then you would need alot of games.

Do you really need more than 500 provinces or 20 neighbours?

Your asking ME? Of course I do. (no not really I guess). Do you think there is going to be a limit I will run into on the size of a .map file? You KNOW I can hit that limit if there is one.

Well I'd like to see some kind soul with more talent & less laziness than myself come up with some maps based on popular alternate realities: Middle Earth of course, maybe the Young Kingdoms, Glorantha, Dying Earth, or anything really (if anyone's even heard of the Last 3?)

Just teasing you. Practically I dont think we will reach 500 provinces.

if you could implement one way neighbor, now that would be cool. I could add timed renforcements with that.

Pocus,
When will you make a Dom2 Version of the Melnibon� map ?
I would really enjoy some "multi planar" maps as Gandalf spoke of, like Dom1 Hollow world was.

I'd also be interested in Dom2 Version of some other good'ol dom1 maps : Cirlani, RealmWars.

Is there a simple method to convert Dom1 maps to Dom2 ? I suppose the tga has to be redone, and I have absolutely *no* skill or talent for that ..
