Can the map generator be modded?

[vorius]

Anyone know if the map generation scripts are moddable like in Civ 4?

I remember someone made some awesome map generator scripts, like one of my favorite was a Highlands map which had lots of small lakes and mountain ranges splitting up the map all over the place. Was alot of fun working through all the bottlenecks.

Yes, it are LUA files. They can be modded, and there is a section in Creation & Customization for fan made map scripts: http://forums.civfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?f=402.
'Highlands' is a script already in the vanilla game. Maybe the developers borrowed the idea from this Civ 4 mod?
