Hi, I'm an intermediate mapmaker in need of some advice.

I want to copy a map of mine so I can have several variants (that are still vastly different) of it public simultaneously. Sadly that seems to be impossible. Or rather only possible with testing-games. I have considered the following:

1. Remake the map. Although I do not have to recreate the svg, all the territory-connections, names, bonuses and centrepoints will be gone. There are tools for automatically setting centrepoints and making connections, but none (as far as I know) copying bonus-settings and names for territory-numbers. Anyone with programming skills feeling a particular urge to make those tools?

2. Persuade Fizzer. Basically one should be I: able copy a map version to a new map family or II: Capable of playing games on "Outdated" maps. In case II, the mapmaker could simply publish all wanted variants within a few days of each other, and the "Outdated" versions will be different versions of the map.

3. Only easy way. I do not recommend doing this, but it is technically possible to regularly publish whatever map-version the map-maker-and-publisher wants to play on. This will spam fizzer relentlessly and probably get you banned eventually though.

Thoughts?

you can copy svg but not names and related warlight-side data

You just repeated me. You added nothing, whatsoever, to the conversation. Congratulations!

He told you exactly what you're able to do. There isn't anything else that can be done.
