It looks like North Platte somehow got included into the Texas bonus.

Here is the corrected version:

It is not. North Platte does not start neutral.

This is the correct version for you. North Platte starts neutral and does not belong in Texas.

:lol: Amazing, after all this time and everyone one of use checking to see if the new xml is correct, not one of us got it right. Just goes to show how hard it is to get one of these right and how hard it is for nobodies to check it.

More than hard it is time consuming...but yes there're some xml in which you can get lost, for example KC2.

Anyway, checked and sent.
Thanks guys.

p.s. Just to be sure, you added 2 neutral to north platte and it was also removed from texas. Right?

The army placement on the large map for Liberal needs to be adjusted.

This bloody map is starting to really annoy me. But it goes to show how much this map is played if it has only been spotted now. Will fix later today though.

I don't pay attention to these type of things. And I don't use the large map.

Out of interest, did you ever give a thumbs up to the proposed XML changes?

It was never equal. I coded it like this.
Out of the 12, in the decay, a player will receive 3 regions depending on the game size. All of the others will be handed out randomly. This reduces the chances of of large differences but does not eliminate it.

so you do not consider a 7-3 split a large difference? or you do but your coding reduces the likelihood of it happening yet keeps games from getting stale from the consistent same/same starts.

7-3 is large, but it should not happen most of the time like it use to. Before it could of been 7-1. This is the fine line of trying to give a good game without taking all of the other elements out and making it stale. The only other option is to code them all neutral. So apart from the 3 handed out, all others will be neutral. This would lead to far more neutrals than playing pieces on the board and completely destroy the map.

Sorry for the delay, put this off and then completely forgot about it. :oops:
OK, considering I used the cords from the original map, just copied and pasted over, not sure how this happened. Here is the adjusted cords and a screen shot to prove they are correct.

Coordinates for Liberal on the large map are slightly off.

eg. go to Game 12576579 and look at the large map image.

File above your post does not seem to of been uploaded. That will correct the problem.
