This Mod adds 7 new Map Types:
(The vanilla maps will still be playable, of course)
Diverse Continents
This variation of the Continents Plus Map Type features a dynamic amount of mountains & hills, and a more dynamic biome distribution. The biomes will no longer be only created based on the latitude, but also somewhat random. That means: No more biomes that just stretch across the globe from west to east along a certain latitude!
The number of mountains and hills will vary from game to game too, but will on average generate a few more mountains than per default, and also generate them in bigger clusters/mountain chains.
Jungle and Tundra will still be generated around their specific latitudes, but now also have a chance to deviate from that latitude a bit, and be larger or smaller.
Finally, there are also some islands besides the continents, just as in the normal Continents Plus Map type.
Noisy Continents
This Map Type effectively does the same as diverse continents, but with a lot smaller and more noisy biome distributions.
Diverse archipelago
A more diverse archipelago map with a mixed biome distribution, just as in diverse continents.
Diverse Fractal
A more diverse fractal map with a mixed biome distribution, just as in diverse continents.
Diverse Fractal++
A more diverse fractal map with a mixed biome distribution, and a more random landmass generation. This can lead to one big or multiple smaller landmasses being generated. The shape of these landmasses is also random.
Since there is not always a second big continent to explore, this map type might be a bit more challenging during the exploration age especially.
Note: This script sometimes crashes on tiny or small maps. I recommend using standard size or larger.
Diverse Terra Incognita continents
A mix between a continents and a Terra Incognita Map: All civs start on one continent, but there is an entire second continent to be found and settled (not just islands). Both continents have a mixed biome distribution, just as the diverse continents map. The starting continent is slightly larger than the other one, in order to provide enough space for everyone to spawn.
Diverse Pangaea Plus
A more diverse Pangaea Plus map with a mixed biome distribution, just as in diverse continents.
