Map Assistant and WOK5 Bridges
Posted: Mon Oct 25, 2004 10:05 pm
Taker (helping AF with a new map) has pointed something out to me on how the Map Assistant handles WOK5 bridges differently than the WOK5 Game Manager ... you can see more details in the quote below:

-BrykI had a WoK GM (GM Taker, for those scoring at home) point out a problem with how the Map Assistant handles WOK5 bridges differently than the WOK5 Game Manager.
The WOK5 INI format allows each province to be connected to only 1 neighbor by a bridge. Also, the WOK5 Game Manager assumes that you'll have perfectly-matching bridge pairs (if province #7 has a bridge to #15, then #15 should have a bridge to #7). The Map Assistant (as of v1.5) does not check/validate for either of these.
This means that you'll be able to define multiple bridges in the Map Assistant and you will get the dreaded "inconsistent behavior" on how the thing will write out the INI file. But, there is a very, very good chance that the Game Manager will not like it ...
This will be addressed in a future version of the Map Assistant.
