Seriously, stop playing on this branch.Harappans always build the Pyramids before Egyptians do in this version.
Sorry about that.Seriously, stop playing on this branch.
STOP PLAYING ON THIS BRANCH.
Not only is your feedback useless, it is also clogging up this thread and to be honest, it's starting to get annoying.
Sounds good, I'll see what I can find. Since I'm not in a position to check right now, can anyone remind me whether we can found cities on oasis tiles? And/or on desert tiles next to oasis tiles? The underlying question is: should an oasis be placed on the tile that best matches the location of the associated city (if any), or on the tile next to that city location?
Seems like it would work better as the opposite for DoC.Any good tile adjacent to the oasis (normal terrains + desert), but not the oasis itself. In other words, you make all of the desert around the oasis settleable by placing one, but its tile is not.
That's true. In the current implementation, an oasis enables as much as 8 city locations around it. It would probably make more sense to limit it to a single location, to better represent how scarce water can be in desert regions.Seems like it would work better as the opposite for DoC.
Except Taklamakan already has the river Tarim, so it would have no effect on the possibility of founding a city since they can already be founded even without the oases. In fact, in that particular location, letting players build cities on oases would increase the number of possible city locations.Not really. In reality, many deserts have sufficient oasis locations to justify one on every tile. If I think of the Taklamakan, there are various possible city locations with historically significant cities that if all of them have to be possible, you would need oases on every tile, which is obviously pointless.
I seem to recall finding a map of resources in Africa that seemed to have the location of major date production in the Sahara matching the placement of oases on our big map. But I might be recalling incorrectly. So perhaps they were placed to match places of higher food production in relation to the surrounding desert? I'll see if I can find that again.Question: in general, are oases on the map intended to represent real places, or are most of them placed in a somewhat random manner? I was thinking of maybe researching oases and making sure to represent the important ones.
It's definitely not the latest version though I don't think much has changed in the Sahara, I modified terrain on this one but not oases. I think most of my suggestions were not included. Regardless, if the question is "do I have a political borders map compatible with the latest version?" the answer is "probably not" but I'll try to check a little later.Is this the latest version of the map? I don't think it is... but at the same time I want a copy of the map with the current political borders hmmm
Well the cultural borders aren't on my WB save so it appears not the way I did it. I always saved the WB file first then the game file but the borders are not there on the WB save.Why does it require a save? You can save cultural borders to a wbsave file.
