Still not sure if it's faster to use the baseline from Rise of Rome or the baseline from the vanilla game; right now I'm trying the latter, but not that it matters that much since.
Well.
IT'S GONNA BE TOO MUCH WORK NO MATTER WHAT.
I have to build. A. Full. Map.
160 x 160.
Trying to manually recreate...lesse the math...25,600 tiles' worth of space, getting it as close as is possible to the Mediterranean maps already in existence, but with the necessary adjustments.
Also I need to teach myself how to create fixed starting locations and also...cities.
And also, figure out what units to give, and...and...oh god this is gonna take me forever.
I think that the looming despair has made me go, "Yep. That's all the work I'm doing on this today."
In spite of me having done...pretty much nothing!
Ah well.
