Areas in the Americas that won't flip

[Chep]

hey,

after finding out that you shouldn't build a city on the oil in the North American Midwest or in Japans historical areas on the westcoast if you don't want to give them up for the Mexicans, I started to wonder:

Are there any viable spots to settle in the Americas that you won't lose via flip to the AI?
(or to put it another way: anyone got flip-maps for the American AIs?)

I'm not 100% sure about these but I think these are not flipped:

- All of Alaska (probably most reachable for Japan)
- Montevideo
- Guyana
- The Caribbean (no civs with a core in here or Guyana)

There's a map btw in the mods folder somewhere but I don't think it's updated with Canada or Polynesia.

Leoreth has posted a python script that generates the maps. So just find the script execute it and you will have the new up-to-date maps. However, i haven'd do it myself either.

 

[Leoreth]

Nothing has changed for the maps already included.

 

[Chep]

Well, for one Colombia and Canada aren't included.

also when I look at



I'd think that

Satsuma (right upper quarter)


would not flip to them, however it does, so honestly I am a bit confused and don't trust these flipzone-maps too much, that's why I am asking here.

AI gets bigger flip area then human players. Maybe that's the problem.

 

[Chep]

yeah, that is the problem. and the reason I am opened this thread (see "flip to AI" in the first post ) since the maps provided seem wrong/out of date/incorrect

but so far the only viable spot that I have found that doesn't flip is the one above the deer in California (or any of those above that one, but 1N of the deer is imho the best spot there)

Aha
IIRC, AI flip areas are designated separately in RiseAndFall.py.
