#110 Allow scripted board creation for more flexibility

[Anonymous]

Hey Pioneers Team,

I have to say - awesome job of creating this game guys! I'm really impressed by the scaling of the board to fit the window size - I wish more games were designed intelligently that way.

The only thing missing to make it just as fun as the board game at home would be the addition of an option for our "rough start" house rule. Essentially the first 2 settlements must be placed adjacent to a coastline or desert, reducing them to 2 resource squares.

Thanks - keep up the awesome effort!

Hi,

This can be achieved by editing the board. There's an option for each node if it can be used for setting up. If you set the interior of the board (minus the desert surrounding) to "nosetup", it should work as you want.

You can not use a random board in that case though, since the desert would be shuffled and the nosetup nodes don't move with it.

For rather specialized board wishes such as this, I'd prefer to create some sort of "create board with this script" option, instead of adding all the details to the server. I've changed the title to reflect this.

Thanks for your feedback.
