Hybrid Distribution 2
Mod description
Allows for some territories to be auto-distributed and some to be manual-distributed (picked) with more options.
- Choose if territories in the distribution or neutrals are auto-distributed
- Choose if auto-distributed territories have the same amount of armies as manual-distributed territories or as neutrals not in the distribution
- This mod overwrites wastelands, Hybrid Distribution does not. This can lead to players having wastelands and thus more or less armies than their opponent
- Forces the game to be manual distribution since the mod does nothing with auto distribution
How does it work
The Hybrid Distribution 2 mod does the same thing as Hybrid Distribution but has more options and better compatibility.
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
The mod has 3 options, with one being similar to Hybrid Distribution. You’ll have to specify how many territories each player gets auto-distributed before the distribution phase. The other 2 options let you control which territories are auto-distributed and how many armies should be on those territories.
The second setting is a checkbox, which lets you control if the territories in the distribution are auto-distributed or neutrals (including wastelands, they get overwritten). The third option is also a checkbox and lets you specify what the amount of armies on the auto-distributed territories should be. Leaving this option checked will result in those territories having the same amount of armies as manual-distributed territories, unchecking this option will result in the same behavior as Hybrid Distribution except for the fact this mod does override wastelands.
Compatibility
This mod is compatible with every setting and mod at this date, it can even be used incombination with Hybrid Distribution
