Yes, it should now be random throughout the range, instead of normally triggering on the first turn.

Good change, but there is a problem with my scenarios. I've adjusted events range according to real distribution of probablity. That means, that if I wanted to have a range of 10, I set the event value of 100. I have to ask on the scenario review forum if it's possible to adjust the values to the new situation.
Jarek, at this time, there is not. The release is literally just around the corner, and the scenarios versions are locked in stone. However, your predicament is not going to be an uncommon one. I'm sure that designers are going to want to revisit their scenarios and tweak them to account for the various changes. I don't know exactly how we're going to handle that, at this time, but a preliminary thought is to have the designers send to us their new revisions to be included in the next scheduled patch, as an "official" update. Of course, there are "third-party" methods of disseminating your reworked scenarios, like the various ladder scenario archives, but it would be nice to establish an "official" Matrix-supported method, as well.

About 2 to 3 pizzas, depending on toppings and quality, of course. Soon. Very, very soon.[:)]

thank you, thank you, thank you. I can not wait. I am already designing scenarios...
Thanks to everyone for their hard work. Hopefully we can live to see TOAW LXXVII with even more improvements...

I second this. I also think there should be an official scenario archive where we can update official scenarios between patches. I know that I'll take advantage from the expanded event-list to update my submissions.

Question, any plans to expand the map-size to 1km/hex in a future update?

Thanks

>>Number of supply points that may be placed in the scenario editor was raised to 99.

That is fantastic.

Now to apply the "Inch, yard & swimming pool" principal...

Have the number place names been increased?

Just for the record, Domino's does NOT count as pizza...[;)]

Anyhow, thanks for your purchase. I hope you enjoy this a lot longer than even 50 pizzas!

Bon Appétit!

I am sure about this (looking at the scenarios right now)

And the poor englishmen get even less pizza,
I remember around 15£ a pizza in london, thats one pizza for a toaw 3,
should have joined the euro the poor blokes!

Given how well the European economies are doing....

Anyway, never ever seen a pizza cost as much as £15. I don't touch the stuff if I can avoid it so I don't know what the going rate is, but if you went to a very nice Italian restaurant you might pay nearly £10. But not £15.

Thanks for the pizza info golden delicous,

You kept the old Opart300 limits for map and units? [&:]
300x300 and 2000 units per side. I need to rework the code that figures out how to get from point A to point B before expanding the map size, otherwise supply and other calculations will take even longer.[:@]
Now that the supply calcs have been sped up, is there a plan to increase the map size?

What is the limit on place names? (and where is this written in the manual?)
