Lord falconis's guide to map gaming

hello, I am lord falconis. When I first started map games, I noticed there was no good guide to map gaming. Today I will show you the ropes of map gaming.

By the way, I tend to use visual editor. And so this is for that. If you need help to get there, find fandom's article on it.

A few terms defined: A map game usually 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 separate 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 discussion 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 splits of the real world. (If it's 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 (px): for map game purposes, they are little squares on maps that are used for measurements.
 * 1) The rules: instructions on how it is to be played (see footnote 2)
 * 2) Sign up sheet: lists the nations that you can play as
 * 3) The map: a visual representation of the events in the game, edited only by the mapmaker
 * 4) The turns: where you can say what your nation

(Any additions to the rules go here:)
