On some maps, they have distribution settings that segregate what territories are selectable for each player in manual distribution (such as Colion's Middle Earth Map), so you choose a territory (ies) in the green region and your opponent chooses from the brown region. Is it possible to set that up in a custom scenario? If yes, please walk me through how to do that

A screenshot to clarify what I'm talking about in case the question isn't clear. I want to know how I can enable this in a custom scenario build

What you're referring to is called scenario distribution. They're built into the map and are only about to be defined by the map maker.

You could make a version of scenario distribution using a custom scenario.
For all territories you want to be pickable, set them to slot A. Change one of the territories to be in slot B (custom scenario requires at least 2 slots). Save the scenario. Allow player to make their own picks (not automatic).

Using this method is a bit like custom warlords.

Thanks DanWL, just ran a couple of tries using the method, both creating a level and custom game (slot A and B) but it seems manual distribution overrides the who can pick territories of what slot feature of the custom scenario. It is possible with automatic distribution as I can assign each player a slot letter, but if I have manual distribution enabled, any player can choose any slot. Am I missing something that allows me to assign letter slots with manual distribution enabled?


It may be as Fizzer said and built into the map design itself. It's a shame, but I guess its more complex than I thought to have this feature.

^ that’s the idea. It’s the closest you’ll get without making a map and adding scenario distribution.
