Lord falconis's guide to map gaming

A few termes defined: A map game ussualy consists of 4 parts: Wikitext: to link to another page, use two ['S, then a thing should popup saying "link". Type in the name of the article. To use seperate different sections with bold text, use ==, then your text, then ==. To create a signature, use -~.
 * 1) Algorithm: an algorithm is a set of instructions that determines success in military battles.
 * 2) Mapmaker: this person is the one who makes edits to the map so that players can see the movements.
 * 3) Pages/articles: anything on the wiki, plus its talk page. (Created by hitting "contribute" at the top.
 * 4) Talk pages: connected to its respective article, used for disscution of the article. (See footnote 1)
 * 5) Althistory: another, separate wiki on wikia, also short for alternative history.
 * 6) Point of divergence: when a map game splites of the real world. (If its althistory)
 * 7) Rules: if you really need it defined, instructions to play the game (see footnote 2)
 * 8) Wikitext: used for special fonts on wikia. (See "wikitext" below)
 * 9) Pixels: for map game purposes, they are little sqares on maps that are used for measurements.
 * 1) The rules: instructions on how it is to be played (see footnote 2)
