Edwarf Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 "Unknown" The map "Unknown" is a random map that countain 9 "Land" maps and 4 "Naval" maps. When this map is played, one of these map is picked randomly and generated. Some of these maps are not part of the list of random maps and can't be purposly choosed to be played. So i tryed to make a map pack where each map can be played independently. Map list : Land :"Continent" : Game description : Disk shaped mainland with water on the edge. More info : Map close to the random map called "Continent", slight difference the map can be shaped as a peninsula. "Isthmus" : Game description : Huge central river, connecting the riversides with a narrow piece of land. More info : Map close to "Corinthian Isthmus", main difference is a wider land path and a wider river. Map variant : Dot shaped island or random shaped land can be added to the river part of the map. "CentralRiverLand" : Game description : A very small central river. More info : Map close to the random map called "River", slight differences there is no middle lake and the shallow water path are randomly placed (such as "Lorraine Plain"). "EdgeSeas" : Game description : Align players on a land strip with seas bordering on one or both sides that can hold islands. More info : Map close to the random maps called "Hyrcanian Shores" or "Kerala" or "Northen Lights", main difference is the sea border can be on both side. Map variant : Dot shaped island or random shaped land can be added to the sea part of the map. "Gulf" : Game description : Land shaped like a concrescent moon around a central lake. More info : Map simlar to the random map called "Gulf of Bothnia" "Lakes" : Game description : Mainland style with some small random lakes. More info : Map close to "Alpine Lakes" but without mountain or "Mainland" with randomly placed lakes. "Passes" : Game description : A large hill leaving players only a small passage to each of the the two neighboring players. More info : No similar map exist in the game yet. Map variant : A lake can be generated in the middle of the map. "Lowlands" : Game description : Land enclosed by a hill that leaves small areas for civic centers and large central place. More info : No similar map exist in the game yet. "Mainland" : Game description : No water, no hills. More info : Map simlar to the random map called "Mainland" Naval :"CentralSea" : Game description : Creates a huge central river. More info : Map close to the random map called "River" with a wider river and no shallow watter path.(such as "Aegean Sea") Map variant : Dot shaped island or random shaped land can be added to the river part of the map. "CentralRiverNaval" : Game description : A very small central river. More info : Map close to the random map called "Lorraine Plain" but with no shallow watter path. "Archipelago" : Game description : Chain of islands or many disconnected islands. More info : Map close to the random map called "Islands" "RiversAndLake" : Game description : Creates a river between each player ("pizza slices") and possibly a circular lake in the middle. More info : No similar map exist in the game yet. I don't know who made the map "unknown" or the previews of each map but thanks ! unknownMaps.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freagarach Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 On SVN one _is_ able to pick those maps (called landscapes there). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badosu Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 Ah, custom map flags, we need you!!! :-) By the way Edwarf. One should be able to remove the undesirable turtly maps: Lowlands, Passes and Isthmus and backport it to a23. Was one of the ideas I had in mind, make balanced unknown maps, but the code isn't too friendly for that. I think if we remove those undesirable maps unknown finally might be a good map for TG (maybe the best). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwarf Posted November 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 Badosu, i agree, it could be great to have balanced unknwon maps. But i think only Passes is a turtly map. Lowland is a race to the map control and being able to keep it. This Isthmus is really wide it is not more turtly than gulf especially with the map variant were there is random shaped land in both sea parts. And some poeple loves turtly maps . The best would be to chose the desired map pool to fit everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badosu Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Yeah, I agree Lowlands may get a pass, but I've seen horror stories with the wood gen/obstacle. Anyway, happy to see some work on this :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
