I didn’t know that the random rotation or placement function was a thing. That’s awesome. I think part of my problem is that the oceans always look too artificial. The trick with the whirlpools to alleviate space constraints is pretty brilliant though. Is it better or worse to start different factions in different zones? Different zones would…[Read more]

That makes sense. Thanks for the tip. How do you go about arranging your oceans? Are there steps you take to create a good design, or do you just place things randomly and then adjust them?

Well, there almost always are, but at least they aren’t immediately obvious, unlike many games.

Or are you just going to make the Caribbean game replace it? Also, what is the limiting factor? Does it just not fit in VASSAL or something?
