Spectator-Friendly Arabia

Description
After noticing a bunch of people complain about the host spectator feature being removed, I decided to see what I could do. This is isn’t actually a fix. It’s just a way to watch an Arabia game as the host.


How this works:

Player 1 (the host) starts with a VMDL, which the host must delete to be defeated.
The host can then spectate the other players.
Most of the extra resources per player will not be generated for player 1 in order to keep the map fair.

To play choose the following when setting up a match:
Map style: Custom
Location: Host_Spec_Arabia

Player 1 should be on their own team. They should select any civ, and not spectator.

Limitations:
>Currently only the non-desert Arabia is supported.
>There is a "gap" in the map where player 1 spawns. This area only contains hills and trees.
>It's not a true "spectate" feature; rather it's an insta defeat without excessively affecting the map for the other players.
>Please tell me if there is anything I need to fix!

yep that is a feature at Voobly but I think they should play at Steam and I am late for commenting right

Nice job but the real fix will be them fixing their damn spectator mode. Why can't it be like dota 2 where anyone can pop in to watch at any time from a list of all active games?
