Default Re: FastStart map now available

Yeah it started as forcing myself back into Dom 1 getting ready for Dom 2. Then I got back into my map scripts. Finally I thought "well maybe others are trying to get back into Dom 1" so I thought Id offer them.

The scripting for Dom 2 Im not excited about yet. It seems to me that they removed what little the host was willing to fill in logically, and went toward forcing more manual creation.

With the increase of things that MUST be supplied in the map file Im not sure if outside scripts designed to create a completely new MAP file is going to be workable. But thats all doom-saying at this point. I will just have to wait for the game and hope.

We have only forced the guessing to be where it belongs, in the random map generator. A map generator is much more qualified at guessing what borders with what and which province is a sea or a forest. It made the provinces up after all. In the end this should be much better than having Dom II making bad guesses at these things.
