Hello everybody!

Just a quick question:
Is there a way to add hexes on the left or upper side of the map in scenario editor?
(I found how to add on right and lower side, but that's not what I need ...

)

And if not - does anybody know a spell for magically moving entire map a bit down and right?

Thanks in advance!

If you have ver. 1.16 or better then you can add hexes to all sides. Use the same buttons to add to the bottom or right. It will eventually ask you if you want the hexes added to the left or right OR to the top or bottom respectively.

Have fun.

Is it possible to make maps 300 x 300 in the scenario editor?

Is there something I can adjust to make is so.

It appears to be hard-coded at 200 x 200.

See my post above. You start by making a 200x200 map then add hexes to it as listed above.

Though do not expect to see the AI functioning at any other then geological speed with huge maps.

On the other hand, if I create a 360x180 world map, could I play PBEM only (I�m thinking about 3-5 sides)?

@bombur,

sure. Here the only drawback is that the savefiles will get pretty big. But nowadays most mail accounts can handle big attachments.

kind reg,
Vic
