this is y im running around like an idiot in my setting victory conditions thread... i go to play my map that im working on, and it wont let me start the game... any1 no something that is causing this?

Try adding another victory condition like defeat all and see if that allows you to test the map. If you don't have an AI player placed, create an underground layer for the map if there isn't one already and block the AI in a hole somewhere so it doesn't mess up your map balance.

You won't be able to complete the game but you will be able to test out all the parameters of the actual scenario you want.

Edit -

Oops sorry to mention that the map not starting is because the map isn't finished according to the editor and the program is picking up on it.

that doesnt help it still wont let me start... i might just make another map since it doesnt take very long. but i dont no where to define the defeat neutral setting. it can be either under scenario or common objective or player objective... sigh y cant this b like h3 or h4 victory conditions

For others to have a look at it, using the map editor as well. You know, that whole ‘fresh set of eyes’ thing.
Also, it would simplify the whole:

‘Did you try that?’
‘No, that doesn’t work.’
‘How about that, yes I did that, still no go.’
‘Maybe...’

It would be a case of someone opening the map, having a look, and then tell you where the problem is.
(Hopefully, if they can find it that is.)

H.W.

Joint map editing is a good way of debugging a map, we do that with maps at settlers, it speeds things up a lot.
