We will use Worthy Heroes, right?

[Amhazair]

Do we all have to install that mod, or is it just the server that matters?

Yes.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you will need to install the mod. Be sure to use version 1.6, the link is on the initial post.

[Evilhomer]

you are indeed correct

Okey, on my way there. How will it affect other games (present and future), where I don't want to use the mod, though?

iirc, under Dom2 the mod would load automatically when you chose a game that was started w/ the mod, i'm not sure how that's working now w/ Dom3. Worst case, you'll need to turn the mod on or off w/ your preferences. Back in the Dom2 days the one error that many players made is setting up their pretender under the wrong mod, but afaik this should not be an issue for us, since Worthy Heroes should have no effect on pretenders.

I've nearly finished up the map (still need to touch up some neighbors), but what I ended up doing is pretty much going w/ Edi's special locations, while removing forts and specific starts. The latest version of the map is attached, and I'll change that when I come up w/ the final version tonight.

Better than half the pretenders are uploaded, we are now waiting on:

2. Agartha - Tyrant
3. Arcoscephale - Darrel
11. Niefleheim - Xox
13. Pangaea - Dedas
14. Sauromatia - imororg
16. Yomi - Izzyz

I ended back with R'lyeh (the original plan), pretender uploaded.

For whoever is reading this this evening, I'd like a sanity check on the following two edits to the Faerun map. I've been looking at this yesterday, and I've been bothered by the relatively large number of sea provinces completely closed off by land (mostly in the NE), therefore:

1) I'd like to connect all sea provinces to the nearest (or most sensible) body of water. Usually this will follow along a river line visible on the map.

2) Also, I'd like to connect province 106 and 137. This will connect the two major sets of sea provinces in the game, which I think will make the interaction between the two water players more interesting (and between water and land players, for that matter).

If anyone sees any reason not to make these two edits, let me know now!
