	A-Z extras and resources Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Has anyone been able to actually use extra units famously "called" the A-Z spots within MGE? Instead of the 0-9 limited bottom from 2.42??

And... Can resources be individually placed on a map with an Hex-Editor? Meaning, customizing Klondike/golds mountain and Petroleum in a Pacific/island single square? Overriding, in fact... the randomizer!

Thank's.

Unfortunately I believe it's No, No
But maybe someone knows better?

I don't know off the top of my head about the MGE units. As for resources, they occur in a set pattern determined by the resource seed, so you can't turn on a resource at any given square (but you could create a new terrain type for that resource if needed).

On the other hand, using hex editing you can turn OFF a resource on a square that already has one.

Usually, i use all of these units.
I used them all in my "Antigonos" scenario...
and for resources, i usually get rid of some unused Terrain ( Glacier, for example ) in order to perform it.

MirkoGP:

It's actually a bit associated with the type of a terrain. Check out Allard's document on hex editing, at: http://allard.8m.com/hexediting.htm

It has all the detail you need (and then some).

Seeding at random is exactly what i need to "change", somehow. Initialize the -boot- map and... then rewrite the sequence to prevent such things as "Whales" every 14 squares for 3 lines.
Meaning... a blank seeder. But turning OFF is a usefull approach (CIV-3 might redesign the editor, by the way).
MGE A-Z units instead of 0-9, are in fact a UNITS.GIF template that was "handed accidently" (i speculate) within the TOT release.
Thank's.
