Cartographer - kill random spawning?

Published on September 8, 2010 By sleem In WOM Mods

Hello,

I've made a map in Cartographer, but when I play it, there are all kinds of random spawns of resources and NPCs. I tried to cleverly place resources and NPCs directly into the map so that it would be more balanced for each faction... Does anyone know if there is a way to turn this off?

For example, I put a fertile land and a gold mine next to each starting point, but when I started the game, it added another fertile land and gold mine right near the starting point, and a farmer NPC started out next to my sovereign as well... Food mania. Do not want that.

Thank you.

I'm looking for the solution to this as well.

Does anyone know why this is or how to fix it? Is it possible to disable random things on your custom map? If not, then I can design around this limitation, but if possible I'd really like to disable it.

Thank you.

I can't imagine that a fix will be long in coming. It makes the cartography room almost useless if we can't control the most important part of any map.

Well, it certainly makes it more difficult to plan out a more precise strategy for the players on the map. The map I'm making right now is primarily a multiplayer map, and I want to be able to use resources to loosely guide the player towards where I'd like the mid-late game action to take place. I can still do this with random spawning, but I'd prefer this map in particular to be fundamentally the same every time it is played.
