After 3 days straight of fine tuning, it's done! https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/better-maps-small-continents.32022/
This map script creates large landmasses with irregularly shaped coastlines and inland seas, or several medium-sized islands that result in a more naval-focused game.
Overall shape of continents will be far less blobby.
Oceans will consistently be quite vast. Coastlines will create multiple spines through inland seas, some of which will lead to faraway islands, while some will lead only to a dead end.
Reaching the Distant Lands in Exploration Age will generally be 4-5~ tiles of open ocean, and controlling land close to an easy passage may be rewarding.
Additionally, the map will randomise the location of the equator for each map, changing the height of the temperature belts by up to 30° latitude.
Biome generation has been mildly adjusted to reduce how far north desert can go.
