I'm glad you like the no-die area.

      But now we have the race patch, where you start in a building.

      to center again. Thats confusing.
     
     
I agree.  If I could have done it better in a reasonable amount of time,
I would have.  Everything I tried to get a player to appear in the
class-choice map at first failed in some bizarre fashion or other.
Use of *any* other map than city/city caused problems.

I tried many things which SHOULD have worked but did not, and instead
caused some weird bug.

In the end, I went with a kluge which has the effect you see.  Would you
please take a crack at removing that kluge?

      For future extendings we can put teleporter to other maps for example easy

      It will also make the town hall to a "real used" building.
