Default Re: Etruscae: Random \"donut\" map pruned for MP

Oh, and before I forget, thanks for the map. Looks neat, as far as random maps go (not really a fan of those; has nothing to do with you )
I do prefer random maps for MP, since many of the current prerender maps are "unfair." They create theme areas, like a large desert or forest. That means whatever player gets to the field heavy area has a tremendous advantage versus the player stuck in the mountains. Random maps give an even spread of the different territory types through out the map, especially if you go through an eliminate the bad and too good start positions which is what I did here. The "donut" was to try to minimize the number of neighbors a starting player might have, thus limiting the advatageous of a "corner" start positiong. Definitely could have had a better "donut," but c'est la vie.

Now, if only I can figure out how to convert the rgp to a jpeg to post a pic...
