Very cool map. I like it a lot. It just has an issue with the end game:

I lose and see "winner" is victorious, but I do not get a "You Lose" screen right away. After a few seconds I get "You Win!" Check you triggers on this and see what went wrong.

Check your connections between the river pieces. Sometimes it is not too smooth.

Otherwise, excellent job. Make sure you use the "Upload new version" option rather than putting up new game.

Thanks for putting in a Briefing.

Is there a sample multiplayer map available for download anywhere? It could help with the endgame triggers.

Yes definitely. This is Desert River Riches. It only has end mission triggers. Make sure to set your end mission triggers up for each side properly, just like this mission. Any questions let us know.

Played this latest version (11:35 pm) and it gives a win screen for winner, but not a lose screen to loser. Loser has to resign to get a lose screen.

That's odd. I copied the example file endgame triggers.

Which side were you playing as?

I played as the top left player and won.

Loser player was in bottom left and they only got lose screen when they resigned.

Maybe a 4 player map needs more triggers than a 2 player map?

I had to turn off auto importing of MP maps to the game
servers around noon yesterday, while I look into a problem. So if you uploaded a new map after that it isn't on the MP servers. I'll turn it on again as soon as I diagnose this problem.

If you need a 2-4 player example map I can provide one.

I've fixed the server problem, and will start a new server with the fix tonight. I'll post back here when it is live.

I'll also get a 2-4 player example map for you guys.

Third update. I've received complaints that it was unbalanced so would appreciate opinions.
