Can someone suggest the best settings or map script to get a decent amount of mana nodes as of now I have been tinkering with SmartMap and at best I see maybe 3 mana nodes on my entire starting continent...
 
A while ago I downloaded this map generator, which let ye choose with what units you want to start, if you want a resource near the vicinity of your starting point or in the fat cross of your starting point, choose techs, traits, gold, %water/desert/tundra etc.

Now, this is no use to you at all since I've forgotten the name of it.. sorry ^^'
 
Nope, tsnot smartmap. The map scripts are called Sto_Archipelago_2_992 Sto_Custom_Continents_2_992 etc.
 
Ohh.. those are Sto's "Full of resources" maps.

I just popped over and noticed he updated them recently. I hadn't used them in a while because he had only updated a couple of them over the last several months, but now it looks like he's got things going again. Cool, I'll have to check out his new scripts.
 
Thanks for the help so far...I use smartmap already and the FFH flavour scripts too but I can't ever seem to get enough mana nodes to have more than maybe one in my boundaries every once in a while I get two...I was really just wondering if my experience is the average amount of mana nodes everyone experiences...

Is the mana resource a strategic resource or other classified by the game as the civolopedia does not say.

Same problems here, haven't been able to figure out a way to create a map with more nodes... :(
 
Good question, I never really dipped into the map scripts before. I would think it should be considered a strategic resource. I do know that there is a check in the mod that makes sure there are at least x number of mana nodes after the mapscript has run. But I never had too much trouble( I use Smartmap with Not Badly or Many of all resources set) getting a needed resource.

Cheers!
