MAP OPTIONS:
- Channel Width: Determines, on average, how wide or narrow the water channels are that divide the landmasses.
- Coastlines: Determines how erratic the coastlines are, from 'predictable' to 'squirrely'
- Terrain Mix: Allows players to use a default terrain mix, or generate 'better' terrain mixes with less desert, tundra, and snow.
- Rainfall: The usual setting, adjusts forest and jungle density
GAMEPLAY COMMENTS:
- Obviously, this is part archipelago, part continents. Adjust strategy accordingly.
- The "Enhanced" and "Glorious" terrain settings will provide more generous terrain across the board, which is exactly why the default is the "Civ V Default" terrain mix.
- Works with standard map sizes, and tends to have a higher land to water ratio than normal.
TECHNICAL COMMENTS:
- Tested mostly in map generator, with several hundred iterations with various settings
- Gameplay testing was minimal- please provide feedback on any balance issues or bugs
- I'm a consultant, not a programmer. The code here is inefficient at best, and I'm not expecting a Nobel Peace Prize for computer science.
