== Mod description ==
This [[mod]] allows for some territories to be [[Automatic distribution|automatically distributed]] and some to be [[Manual Distribution|manually distributed]]. Normally either automatic distribution or manual distribution would need to used and all initial starts would be used for the single chosen distribution mode. This mod combines the two, resulting in a "hybrid" distribution.
Allows for some territories to be auto-distributed and some to be manual-distributed (picked).


== How does it work? ==
The number of territories automatically distributed can be customized and the number of manually picked territories follows built-in game settings. Games must be set to use manual distribution for the mod to work as expected. Only neutral territories will be chosen for applying automatically distributed territories. The number of armies on distributed territories will not be changed to [[Initial Armies per Territory|follow game settings]], so a [[wastelands|wastelanded]] territory could be given to a player and they may get an unfair advantage or disadvantage because of that.
Normally you would have either an automatic distribution (get random territories) or a manual distribution where you could specify an order of picks to allow you to set yourself up. This mod combines the two, resulting in a "hybrid" distribution.
 
The game creator can specify how many territories everyone gets before the distribution phase. You will have at least one territory on the map and everyone can see this. You can also see everyone else their auto-distributed territories so you can use this information in the distribution phase.
 
== How to set up ==
This mod only has one setting, the number of auto-distributed territories. There are a few notes though.
* You have to set the game to manual distribution yourself, the mod doesn't overwrite this setting and the mod will do nothing if the game uses automatic distribution
The mod will auto distribute territories from neutrals, leaving the pickable
* The mod will auto distribute territories from neutrals, leaving the pickable territories. Note that playing with full distribution and no wastelands the mod will not auto-distribute territories and note that when playing with full distribution and wastelands enabled the mod will only auto-distribute wastelands.
* The mod will not overwrite the number of armies on the territories, so this would be equal to the number of armies in neutrals not in the distribution. Note that when playing with wastelands these army numbers don’t change. Players can end up with a wasteland, keeping the amount of armies.
 
If you’re looking to avoid one of these, you should use [[Hybrid Distribution 2]].
 
== Compatibility ==
This mod is compatible with every setting and mod in Warzone at this date, it can even be used in combination with [[Hybrid Distribution 2]].

This mod allows for some territories to be automatically distributed and some to be manually distributed. Normally either automatic distribution or manual distribution would need to used and all initial starts would be used for the single chosen distribution mode. This mod combines the two, resulting in a "hybrid" distribution.

The number of territories automatically distributed can be customized and the number of manually picked territories follows built-in game settings. Games must be set to use manual distribution for the mod to work as expected. Only neutral territories will be chosen for applying automatically distributed territories. The number of armies on distributed territories will not be changed to follow game settings, so a wastelanded territory could be given to a player and they may get an unfair advantage or disadvantage because of that.
