:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

I wanted to look at Aquarena, for 2 players, accidentally left it on 8 player size (Large). My sea-walls had no gates and no sea towers, while opponent (AI) had 4 gates and 4 sea towers.

Seed 111475591 for example, 8 player size with 2 players.

  • Ludicrous size map, 1 base has access to water in one corner and has sea tower and gate, other base is full land walled only, too far from water
  • Huge size map, no walls, no sea towers for 1 player, base too far from water, other gets sea towers and walls, 2nd generation shows sea towers and walls for both,
  • Large size map (8 players), no gates and sea towers for one player
  • Normal size map (6 players), both get sea gates and sea towers.
  • Medium size map (4 players), no gates and sea towers for both players
  • Small size map (3 players), both get sea gates and sea towers
  • Tiny size map (2 players), both get sea gates and sea towers
