Multiplayer Map Lords Of War

[TheJester]

...just another Multiplayer Map. Inspired from the original Warlords Illuria map (seen here), this is a six-player Battlemap. The even Players (2,4,6) start in the east (Player 2 takes the position of Lord Bane), the odd Players (1,3,5) start in the West. Every player owns his county filled with 10 villages.

In this version of the map its ok to play east vs. west. Players 3 and 5 are much to close right now.

"inspired" or "stolen"... .

really, just wondering. If it is too similar, it can't be incorporated into the official version, but if not... cool!

Last time i played Warlords I (great game btw) was years ago, so i suggest it was inspired
Seriously, i made a few changes, since Warlords didn't use hex maps. I don't know if it's
ok for use.

If the map was drawn several years after playing the game, and without looking at the original, I doubt it could be considered tainted by copyright.

The game could not be loaded: illegal character

When I select the map, I get the above message... Has anyone got the same problem?

Could be that it needs Wesnoth v0.8? I have 0.7.9 but I cannot upgrade 'coz SourceForge "does not currently have the file you requested" on any of the mirrors for several days. :-\

what illegal letter does it say there is? iIIRC it usually says illegal character Y, or M, or whatever...

IIRC it usually says illegal character Y[...]

There are Y's in that map.

There are Y's in that map.

that was an example. IIRC, Y's are now legal (they mean swamp village).

It is Wesnoth 0.8 and the map is gzip'ed, i should have mentioned... Yes theres a swamp village in it..

Yeah but if it's a non-printable character, such as if you open a binary file, it won't print out any character.

Of course, maybe I should check for that using isprint(3) and print a message about there being unrecognizable binary in there

also, i probably should have said swamp village was from 0.7.6 or earlier...

Well I played it and I liked it Although the routes between some keeps are much harder than between others (for example, going from the North West keep to the North East is a mean feat compared to going South!) I still found it fun.

[TheJester]

Here's a Version with some changes. There are more roads now, and player 3 (south west) is more seperated from his neighbor in the north.

Four places with extra villages exist on the map, at the island, in the woods near the deep lake, in the swamp south of the northern mountains and at the north coast where the central river ends.
