Random number of units placed randomly at random turns?
-
@redrum Perhaps it might be worth while to have a topic thread dedicated to out of date maps that people may have downloaded previously and can no longer play. A spot where someone can upload defunct maps that others could look at to determine whether they are worthy of being salvage for the repository.
-
@hepps Yeah or use @RogerCooper's conversion thread. Just not sure anyone would volunteer to update them but if they would or at least consider it then it could be helpful.

@redrum True. Just thought there are probably some decent maps that have gotten lost after the dreaded crash of 2016. Was just a thought.

Did I miss something?

You can do something like create a 50% chance for a unit to appear based on a condition. This could work for weather too but it takes a lot of triggers. If you had 3 possible weather effects occuring in every territory, you need 2 conditions and 3 triggers per territory.
You can create a 50% chance for a brigand to appear in a territory. What you currently cannot do is have exactly 3 brigands total appear, and those three go to totally random territories. (at least not for a decent sized map, too many conditions to check)
You can jerry-rig a bit of randomness with triggers, but it becomes really hard to do on a large scale due to complexity.

Also if someone still has a copy of Global Conquest? (I think it was called.) It had random placement setup in a Risk style. @Cernel will recall and possibly still has a copy.
This only works at the start of the game, its difficult to repeat it.
-
@crazyg kk was just recalling. Do you still have a copy?
-
I had it at one point. Is it missing?
-
@crazyg I don't see it in the repo anymore oh well.

Still causes shudders in old lobby players @prastle I have copied this statement to 3 external hard drives... in the event I need to bring it out as proof to stop a scotch fueled rant.
-
@hepps Ah I was reffering to the 2016 crash
-
@prastle Yes I know... I am keeping this quote as proof that you once said lets not bring up the past. :face_savouring_delicious_food:
-
@hepps did you copy all old maps since mine ext died?
-
@prastle Not sure what I have... I still have all the engine versions going back to 1.8.0.9
-
@hepps engine versions don't matter its what maps did you save?

maybe Roger has it ?

@beelee nope just checked
I guess we hope @LaFayette ( who made original) or @Cernel who did some work on it has a copy
