Understood; when playing against other players, it can sometimes be detrimental to see your opponent moving around on a portion of their territory that you have already revealed.

For the game, it doesn't matter whether it's a local network or a game played on a single computer with multiple windows displayed on the screen. With a few exceptions.

This is all a workaround. I need a function. Otherwise, I can just try different methods to see where and on what each player starts.
If you can't create such a mod, just say so. What's the point of these suggestions...?

Regarding the black screen:
/topic/12099/ Well, these “workarounds” completely solve the problem; if I understand correctly, then what is the point of the mod? Moreover, it’s unlikely that such a mod can be created, except perhaps as a map patcher using scripts, but this would look strange and even more like a workaround than what I suggested, IMHO.

You're suggesting I go through all the custom maps in the editor and also extract the standard ones? Great.

I've been wondering about the black background for a while now. Is it possible to display a poster (artwork) on the screen instead of the black screen during the enemy's turn?

So that instead of blackness, various artworks from the game are displayed randomly.
For example, there are n artworks in a folder, and they are displayed randomly, one in one turn, the twentieth in another turn, the tenth in the third turn, and so on.

Thanks for the link!

No, that doesn't solve the problem. You're suggesting I go through all the custom maps in the editor and also remove the standard ones? Great.
But why did they add the skill wheel to the game? They could have just said, "close the game and look it up."

There's been a question about the black background for a while now. Would it be possible to replace the black screen during the enemy's turn with a poster (art) on the screen?

So, instead of blackness, various game-related artworks would be displayed randomly.
For example, there's a folder with n number of them, and they are displayed randomly – one in one turn, the twentieth in another, the tenth in the third, and so on.

However, such a flashy image will likely be irritating to the eyes.

I don't know about random changing, but it's definitely not difficult to set one specific art instead of blackness. Judging by your screenshot. You need to change HotSeatBlackBg.xdb and either add a link to the art there, or replace the xdb file itself with another one, in this style. But I haven't checked, there might be some nuances.

Well, yes, of course. If the black screen is just a simple background, then we can simply change its texture! However, such a bright picture will rather irritate the eyes.

If you want a mod that won't be a map generator in the editor (which allows you to choose a faction before generating the map and adjusts the map accordingly), but will instead do everything for the player (as I understand it), then the answer is discouraging: such a mod doesn't exist, and it's unlikely that anyone will take on the task of creating it.
