Thanks for this. Is the current version still active on the Beta site, and can I have access to this?

Hi
I was hoping to resurrect this map, improve the graphics, take on the playability comments and try to get approved again. What is the process for this as it was in Beta
Thanks

Re changing ayybid caliphate

I think you are right, whilst the game play might be marginally better it is best to get the history right with this map. Any crusade would have had to get past the ayyubids, and the crusaders only had a sliver of land on the coast. I think we keep Jerusalem as it was.

That altered Jerusalem bonus looks good.
agreed. however, ayyubid sultanate has lost a bit too much territory, considering that the capital was in the northern part! how about restoring its border with sultanate of rum, with jerusalem bordering both but being separated from abbasid caliphate?

I ...

Hey

Thanks for all the comment, most of which I have tried to incorporate.

That do you think of the enclosed...



Champos

what about this...

Thanks for all the comments.

So far I think the following should be adjusted:

- internal white lines removed from base map to make clearer, no change to border territories (hitred's comments)

- Jerusalem changed to Holy Lands and made larger (perhaps two territories, so both border the ...

What are you thinking when you say key crossroads? Any ideas.

Currently, Jerusalem is a Cul De Sac. It is a neutral behind another starting neutral, that leads nowhere. Consider the northern part of Ayyubid being given to the territory of Jerusalem. Touching Rum, Ilkhanare, Abbasid, Ayyubid and ...

What are you thinking when you say key crossroads? Any ideas.

Can you play more than 4 games in beta?

thanks for the comments

I tried the two suggestions, but it just did not look right. I thought it would, so thank you for the help

Ian

Both HitRed and I have tried to find the [ Official] XML Test and Map Inspect, and in my case beable to use on a Mac . When we tried to click on the link to these in the map tools it did not work

I will try to run through the code again line by line manually, but could not see the error when I ...

Ian,

Thanks for this

Aside from the 2 starting neutrals the territories would be allocated randomly. For 2 player games only, Player 1 allocated OO Makuria and EO Serbia and Player 2 OO Begwena and EO Empire of Nicea. I believe this is the way to code this for 2-player games only and the XML has been updated. As I ...

the v33 xml does not work. in a 2-player game, there are 2 coded neutrals, 3 single-region start positions and 12 randomly-chosen regions for each player and 12 randomly-chosen neutral regions.. if the players start with the EE and OO bonuses, then player 1 receives 5 troops for 15 regions plus 2 ...

Thanks. I believe the XML is being checked this week.

Happy with the map and XML. Just need the coordinates checking, as I could not open the checking tool on a mac

Looking forward to playing soon!
