Default Re: Bidding System - Specifics

Pretender points are not worth the same to every nation - LE Ermor, for example, could care less, frankly.

The issue with bidding pretender points is that it is difficult to engineer. You have to figure out some way to open people's pretender files and look at the contents. This bidding system is done entirely with the map editor.

I agree that water-based nations are a problem. It could be as simple as: water nations do not ever get the bonuses (but you still have to bid on them.) It should also be noted that since I use maps with fixed #s of start sites, the # of water positions would be fixed - so if there's a water start site, everyone must bid *something* on a water position, in case they are stuck with it.
