Map Reshuffeling Thoughts

[ihniwtr]

or rather, a surfacing of pre-existing thoughts, as expressed by Master Polarimini in the Salt Lions thread:

@Master Polarimini

Perhaps they should consider the idea of a &quotreshuffling by tiles&quot… that is, not a completely random reshuffling but linking specific tiles to stay at a certain distance from the coastline. I think it could also be reasonable story-wise (just to make an example, I cannot really see Polythreme being farther than two-three tiles from the coast, considering all the exchange that is in place between it and London).

I can’t support this enough - at the moment things feel a bit… too random. The Khanate shouldn’t &quotspawn&quot right outside London, and Polytheme shouldn’t be half a Zee away. If not a rigid shuffling structure, than at least some manner of probability adjustment to determine relative distances should be added.

Yup. Way too easy to cycle through maps until you get an easy one where you can just grind until you own the zee.

It’s good to know that a selecting system of the shuffling is already in place! Perhaps this means you can tweak it a bit! (to avoid, at least for the moment, too many empty spaces close to London, or Polythreme farther than the Khanate, etc.)
