Is it possible to check if a certain, specific tile exist?
« on: March 06, 2023, 10:36:57 AM »
The Tile Reference tool on Wikicarpedia is beautiful and I want to marry it. But I was wondering if there's an "official" way to make the opposite kind of search, that is check if a certain tile exist somewhere, including all existing expansions.
Example. We were playing a game and we got curious whether a CCCC tile with a monastery in the middle exists. What I did:
  • 1 go to the Tile Reference tool
  • 2 check all the selectors for each and every expansion from every version of the game (840 tiles returned)
  • 3 refine the search by removing all features I didn't care about and selecting "All features required" (58 tiles remaining)
  • 4 Ctrl+F "CCCC"
  • 5 check visually if that specific tile exists (it doesn't)
Considering I can merge steps 2 and 3, is there a "better" way to do all this? My laptop is very old and it was overheating when I was selecting all those options  :))

I think it's less stress for your PC if you select the desired type of tile first, and then click on the desired expansions
No interest in 1st edition, but glad to help anyone looking for them. If you see something on ebay-kleinanzeigen.de and need someone to ship to your country, hit me up ^^

For that CCCC with monastery the easiest approach would be

Quick Selectors tab - button Clear All
Expansions tab - select all
Edges tab, click [+] next to Square Tiles, select CCCC ( City, City, City, City )
Features tab - click [+] next to Regular Features, select Cloister / Monastery

And as you would see, all of them are grayed out, as the selector always displays selected tiles by the edges and expansions, if there are required features it would be not grayed out.

And in Filters uncheck "Show tiles with zero count"

Thank you very much for your replies, I didn't realize you could filter square tiles by type of edge, the more you know...   8)
