Forgotten Realms - Underdark Expanded

Description
provinces: 399 land and 77 sea

Experimental. This is the map for the Dom 6 Forgotten Realms Total Conversion Mod, version 0.94+.
THIS MAP REQUIRES THE MAIN CONVERSION MOD TO WORK.

!! Send me a message if you'd like a copy of the old map for an ongoing legacy game. Due to an unknown quirk with Steam Workshop, the new map has replaced the legacy version despite being renamed in all files and code. ?!!

The Surface, Upperdark, Middledark, and Lowerdark are featured. Roughly 800 provinces, hundreds of custom magic sites, indies, and thrones.

Many improvements to the underwater game and surface connections have been made, but like the main conversion mod, is a WIP. Feedback is welcome and bug reports encouraged.

- Load the map. Select Middle Ages. Select your nation(s). Hold down 'n' to fill the list completely with 'Random' nations. Don't worry, the game will not make duplicate nations at game start.

To set up a new game: (I would set this all up in the mod files, but alas, the controls are limited and buggy)
- Create your pretender god(s). Note that Illwinter's -fixedname- modding command is still buggy, so you may get a random name for your god.
- Select your preferred World options, like magic site frequency, score graph visibility, etc.
- Finally, select your victory conditions. There are currently 120 possible preset throne points. Set your preferred victory count. 15-20 feels reasonable, or go high and play till it feels finished. Finally, reduce the number of random thrones of all levels to 0. Skipping this last step will result in thrones out of place and much worse wierdness.

Enjoy and share your stories!

Nunda - no, unfortunately the location of the graphic and the graphic itself that is used by the game engine is not modifiable, at least to my knowledge. The name of the province pops up when you mouse over the connection, so the best you can do is learn the map. It helps to remember that the numbers 1-4 take the camera view to the various planes, 1 being surface and 4 being Lowerdark in this map.

Is there a way to change or at least recolour portals to different layers? It would help in making sense of all the underdark paths if you could see at a glance when a portal is going to the surface or deeper down.

Thanks for the note. Understand better now. I partly asked as in an earlier game/map/mod the portal in deep gash waste did actually go somewhere. So I guess its a restructuring of the map. I have noticed a few changes in where certain portals go. Mostly minor

Shelingar - there are a few portals to nowhere right now, which are created by the game engine automatically whenever i do a map update - it's VERY annoying as they need manually cleaned up, which means I have to inspect all 300 or so gates and provinces. It's annoying, but doesn't affect gameplay. If and when this hits 1.00, they will all be cleaned up again.

Ali - Glad Thay has been a good time! Fog of war is can be added back in if you open the map's primary .dm file with a text editor. Find and remove:

#mapnohide
This command will prevent province fog of war on this plane.
This means that the entire map image will be shown at once
without any obscured areas.

Thank you for your efforts, I am having a lot of fun with my Red Wizards of Thay/Asmodeus playthrough.

One question though: Is there a way to enable fog of war?

Another one. Gallery of Angels 599 portal leads to unknown plane

Just started a new game. Playing as Savage Frontier. Portal at Deep Gash Waste 768 is broken - doesn't go anywhere I recall using that in earlier game.

The preset thrones will still appear in game on a Conquer All victory condition, as far as I recall. Still be claimable and all the rest, just won't give any VPs. If you want an infinite game, that's an option.
Lordlynel 22 Mar @ 2:30pm 
can you set it to conquer all? or would that break the preset thrones?

Sick Puppy - you'll want to play on .94, not .95. Twisted Rune is a WIP nation for the next update, correct.
