Thanks novice!

I just ran this for the PBEM 2 map - seriously Krill, you had some food resources available! - it also returned that Krill had 1 "drama" resource available?! What it that?

Yeah, I had an awful lot of land to the south west.

I stuck a Hit Musicals resource on the map just for kicks. But it was on a tiny arctic island, very far away from Krill, so I'm not sure why this program thought it was his.

PBEM2 wasn't supposed to be a balanced map. As you know as a player, the directive was to roll up an archipelago and leave it mostly as is with just one quick pass to balance the starting positions. So that's what you got.

New version with improved graphics that also shows hills, resources and rivers, and with a zoomable and pannable map.

There's also a Save function that works, but admittedly it is of little use at the moment since no editing functionality has been implemented.

After having actually looked at the shots in your post, the graphics are much improved .

ha ha - I never did find it - I might have to load up to WB file to find it!

This is really awesome Novice! One small note is that the white color text (as shows up with England) is almost impossible to read.

And it would be more satisfying were it to start with Player 1 not Player 0... =)

Clearly you're not a programmer.
