Hello,

with a python script, i created some balanced maps using translations and symmetries. What do you think of it ?

I really like the idea to create periodical / symmetrical maps that way. A disadvantage of these uploaded maps here is that they don't contain starting positions. Nevertheless they look nice

Wanted to save the world, then I got widetracked

It is easy to set a few starting positions manually with the editor. My script saves a lot of work for all the rest of the map to make it balanced.

With the maps you created by script I get these errors -

Fatal exception: Tribe 'barbarians' has no indicators for amount 60 of resource 'stones' (highest possible amount is 0)!

FATAL ERROR - game crashed. Attempting emergency save.

Game: Writing Preload Data ... Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I changes the tribe to whatever I am playing.

Probably an issue with your installation. Please check whether your data/tribes/barbarians.lua looks like this

…
   resource_indicators = {
…
      stones = {
         [10] = "barbarians_resi_stones_1",
         [20] = "barbarians_resi_stones_2",
      },

and your data/world/resources/init.lua like this:

…
world:new_resource_type{
   name = "stones",
…
   max_amount = 20,

The barbarians.lua is OK, so is frisians.lua which also gives the error.

the world/resources/init.lua is also OK.

I only get this error on two maps from gnarfk, which tends to imply it is something with these maps not my install.

Okay I can reproduce in-game on 7lakes. Probably the script sets invalid resource amounts?

@gnarfk: The highest permitted amounts for iron, coal, stones and gold is 20, please check if it´s your script
