[Lurkers] Putting the Old Fogeys into a List

[pindicator]

Attached is the final version.

Big thank you to Kurumi for giving me the graphical tool representation.

And also Erwin, those are very salient points and I think I ended up fixing every one of them.  I'm not sure what happened with horses, it was something I meant to evenly spread out.

You also helped nudge me to add islands for them to circumnavigate early.  I had originally thought to do so, then felt i was taking too much away from Optics, but now I've added them back.

It's part of the novice tool, I just figured adding it would help lots with looking at everything at a glance

Pindicator, if I'm not mistaken, the Aztecs' coal is still equidistant to Aztecs' and China's capital. If you are making changes to the map, please consider fixing this.

Already started.

Mechanics question. I remember in PB53 a lot of talk about trade routes being able to jump small distances in relation to rivers. I couldn't find the post explaining this, but I feel like the spot in SD thread would qualify for this weird mechanical oddity?

[Kurumi]

Sorry for not paying more attention to the map pindi

[pindicator]

You and me both Kurumi

Mjmd, if that is the case it would explain why I got a very early trade route in 52 that I couldn't explain.

[Kurumi]

I figured that the final map is very final and decided against looking into it. D:

Pindicator, your TR anomaly prompted me doing some more extensive testing for the start of PB53, and ensuring that my initial cities were connected by river trade routes. Based on what I remember, I think Superdeath’s pinned city location might actually qualify.

These “edge cases” are much more common with our hand-drawn rivers than the more sparsely-rivered default scripts.

Really enjoyed that sequence of Noble insisting on a PBEM -> a problem happening that is specific to PBEM -> Noble mad that... Superdeath correctly pointed out this would have been better as a PB.

They should really rename Pitboss at this point. Ramk/Zulan hosting makes the whole experience a vastly superior game.
