I would post, but it has been map discussions and you guys seem to have it under control. I only offfer my input when it is really needed. Whateve the map looks like is fine with me. I will be here when the comp gets underway. (at least until the beginning of June, at which point I will be pre-occupied until mid-July) Until we start, I am just trying to program my medula-oblongata with the appropriate instinctual ctp strategies.

You must conquer the land before you can build your house and live in peace.

created the scenario from within a fresh hotseat game (importing the map), thus deftly sidestepping the AI-leftover issues (which might have gone anyway, but I didn't want to take any chances).
I haven't tried your new map yet... just got back to my computer today. How does this translate for the map I created? Can I get it working as well? If so, can you lay out the steps?
Yeah, nl is the best for games on my pc. Should we make that server as the official server for league games?

nl is the on the bottom of my ping list, but still adequate. Most of the Euro players play there, so that is why I go there. I find the gameserve to be the best for play between North American players. There should not be an "official" server, the players should determine which best works for their match-up. I see no uses of playing Faded Glory on nl when I know gameserve or igateway would be better.

I vote for 3 settlers MINIMUM and 1000 or 2000 gold
2000 prefered to add another skill to the game. If we have 10 or so competitors we kinda need to speed the game up hence starting with 1 settler 100 gold is a stupid idea lolol. I dont care about pirating either way, just if you have it on may need to reload the game occasionally. Obviously no wonders

This is what I did:
1. Open the map in SP.
2. Bring up the chat thing with ' and then type "/exportmap map.txt" (Or whatever filename you want).
3. Start a new hotseat game (2 human, 1 AI) on the SAME MAP SIZE by pressing Launch Editor, rather than just Launch (probably best to do this with max ocean to make the next step easier).
4. Using the units dialog, locate and kill all the settlers on the map (If there are units around when you import the map they will turn invisible and you'll never find them).
5. Open the chat thing again and type "/importmap map.txt"
6. Place the starting settlers
7. Ensure both players have the appropriate techs
8. Reset LOS
9. Sort out the goods (which will have changed somewhat during the process of export/import. They will be on the right squares but might not be the right goods)
10. Press Save Scenario As as usual.
11. You know the rest...
Just be careful not to close the cheat dialog whilst in Hotseat mode because it won't open again.
I don't know whether this process is necessary, there might be an easier way to do it, but this is what I did - and it worked.

Always the politician, aren't you Paul? Have you ever thought of running for office? Such a way with words. Anyway, how long does it take to get to three settlers from one settler in an internet one-on-one match? About 20 to 30 turns? About 10 minutes!! Is 10 minutes really worth crying about THAT much? [Here endeth my appeal for one settler, 100 gold start position. ]
Back on topic... I noticed that Pin also agreed with the one settler 100 gold start. Well, that's two of us... Here is what I have seen so far from the entrants desired starting positions regarding settlers and gold...
