TMIT's Guide to Strategy & Tips Series Map Creation

Well, as far as I understand the WB saves, it really does not have place to save the personalities I just tried to make and load a WB save with random personalities and it does get the LH part ok, so the leadertype actually loads the LH ( not a big surprise, but it had to be checked ... sci met FTW ) ... a sure sign that is not there that the personality is saved. Given that there is no other place where it can be saved, i have to assume that the personality is not saved at all .

This can possibly be checked easily using the cheat code, but I'm quite a noob using it

I guess it it was possible to do this, nefarious map makers would have been exploiting it for a long time. Gandhi's face with Shaka's personality, anyone? It's just too evil to not have been exploited before now.

So yeah, it looks like a WB save of a random personalities game will always give a different set of personalities each time it's played.

Not necessarily Being myself a evil mapmaker , it never crossed my mind to do that

But yes, it definitely looks like WB saves in Random personalities will deliver a diferent personality set everytime they are loaded ...

Well, I suppose that would make a game more interesting for players of the same map, but it would ruin any sort of competition because of the possible unfairness...

It this is as i think it is, it is clearly a oversight of Firaxis. but again, i hold to myself that Firaxis never intended that WB saves were much more than glorified maps for scenarios and so much of the functionalities that WB saves have were never considered properly.... and aparently no one in the WB development departement considered that there was a option called Random personalities back in 2005 :/
