What am I doing wrong? I have a board with 8 potential starting territories for players. I have them allocated for players 1 - 8. I'm testing with a two player game, but when I start it players 1 and 2 start with a random territory from the 8, not with the ones allocated for players 1 and 2. I have the "Lock Order in Which Seats Take Turns" option on.
So it looks like you have to enable "Lock Player Colors To Specified Seat Number" in order for your setup to work how you want it too. Then you either allow players to choose colors (and therefore Seats) or not. *edit*Perhaps not...post 10.
However...then doesn't that mean the "Lock Order..." Rule doesn't do anything unless "Lock Player Colors..." is On?
If I'm thinking right (which I may not be), it would seem like Amidon's setup should work as he intends without the "Lock Player Colors..." Rule enabled...I think
I also went looking for boards with an attempt at this type of setup, and I'm not sure there are any.
Still thinking... actually it almost seems like games aren't honoring the Setup and Seat information. Shouldn't territories of Seat 1 in Setup always be the territories of Seat 1 in a game startup? Or is there a need for a "Lock Seats" Rule?
ARGGGHHHHHH, what's happened here?!?! Has there been some unintended change to make this all way more complex ?
