Map editing and victory points

Alneyan · #1 November 16th, 2004, 06:35 PM

Someone, please gather funds to buy me some eyeglasses (one will not be enough). I thought that line was about the game victory condition. Silly me. Thanks for your help!

I will clarify my second question: I do not wish to use a VP win condition. Instead, I merely intend to use VPs to indicate specific provinces; the start provinces, and the target province for example. How do you show the VPs on the map (the little crowns) without using a VP win condition? Or would requiring more than 100% of the total VPs effectively disable this win condition?

.. you may put any icon on the map as you wish .. it's a simple .tga-file, after all. Setting VPs wouldn't do anything about how the map is displayed ..

Yes, modify the targa file to include some kind of little icon. Setting the VP requirement over what is available would also do the trick (if it's possible, that is), because the little crowns are a display effect added by the game.

To set up actual victory points would also spread dominion, and it would be kinda cool for the hill to spread extra dominion. Because the actual victory condition we are planning on using is not going to be anything built into the game mechanics, you can simply set the required VP to more than the total on the map, so that basically there will be no victory condition, but you can still have VPs on the map. I don't know a thing about mapping, but I would assume this is possible.

I completely forgot about that Dominion spread effect, which would perhaps be annoying. Something to discuss in the appropriate thread I guess.

I am very reluctant to edit the actual tga file, since it would require another download, I couldn't edit a graphic file if my life depended on it, and the map isn't mine to begin with.

Thanks for your answers.
