[req] Coast/Seaside map script

[MusX]

Hi

I'm looking for a map script to generate random coast/seaside maps. I didn't found anything like this, so posting request here.

I also have some suggestions for some more switches for such map script.
Except those standard (size, climate, sea level, era, speed) of course
World wrap is flat so there's no need to add this switch.

plain:

convex:

concave:

shoreline:

addition inslands (but no need astronomy to go there):

Spoiler :

small islands (with no starting positions):

large islands (with starting positions):

islands intensity:

hehe kewl and what you thing about my idea for this mapscript?

 

[Thyrwyn]

meh. Personally, I do not enjoy "edged" maps and have stopped playing on them. I do think some of your suggestions would be very welcome additions to some globe-generating scripts, though. . .

Love the idea. I'll think about it...

Cool idea!

This would be a perfect game to use "canal" cities or forts (in BtS) to connect these "fjords". Maybe not all that useful, but I always like that concept.

Nice idea, MusX!

Is anybody going to create one? :> python is definitely not my skills

How about generating a pangea map, divided in quadrants like

1|2
3|4

and then cropping the map to just one of those quadrants? Wouldn't that yield more or less what you requested?

I think I'll go and find out!
