Default Re: Map file editing (errors in Zen\'s Europe)

Hi Foom (Go QT3!).

The difference between freshwater and seawater is that Freshwater is a land province designation, meaning it's a lake/river/coast type of situation. It changes the variables of population as well as marks the province for the flooding (bad event) as a possibility.

Seawater on the other hand marks it as a sea, requiring water breathing to enter it.

Applying farmlands doesn't seem to do anything to a Sea province (I could be wrong) but it would theoretically lower the provinces chance of Magical Sites and increase the population, but like I said, it doesn't seem to work for sea provinces. The best way to create a decently populated sea province is to use "Large" in combination with it.

Side Note: I have a redone Version of the Map (Less Tampax-like province lines) and a modified .map file in the works (I just need to dedicate an hour or so to redo it for MP balance) I could provide that one for you if you'd rather.

Hey Zen, great to see you around again! Qt3 is busy breaking in the next generation of fresh mea.. I mean, newby players.

I'd love to use your revised *.map file; my email address is dfrick16(AT)hotmail(DOT)com

I guess that also means I can stop messing around with your map now

Out of curiosity, did you have to get permission from Creative Assembly to use their material? Or is that the reason the map isn't featured on Illwinter's site?
