Description
A selection of random map scripts shipping soon with Alpha 9.
Most of them designed by WFG team member Spahbod.
'Islands' by Howlingflute.
Last one is intereting
Spahbod did that one just for fun. :)
I love geometry...
All look interesting :)
I want all of these in the game! especially the entire right side :P
(If you use the SVN version they already are, and otherwise you'll just have to wait until Alpha 9 is released - should be within a month or so.)
Those are some gorgeous random maps. I wouldn't have guessed that they were autonomously generated.
Heh, the last one really looks fun. But what's with the third line? Does that mean that we can now also play on squared maps?
It means those random map scripts were created before we had round maps and will be replaced with new and improved (and round) versions :)
Ah, okay thanks! But is it still possible to create squared maps? I couldn't find such an option in the editor
Some of the maps look like pizza pies
very neat! I can see some ole AoM maps aswell :)
love em
nice. but how about a real random map?
a giant map, where everytime the rivers, mountains, islands etc. are complety randomly created and unbalanced, just like the world is?
Maybe you will create one? ;) We're not against such a map, it's just not a priority as it doesn't sound like something most people would like. At least not to actually play on as opposed to just liking the idea. It depends on what you mean my completely random as well, I mean nothing created via a script a human has created can be completely random in the strictest sense, while many of the maps already provided can provide a fair variety of end results. Most of the maps will be created based on a theme in either case though, but yeah, if no one else will create one you can always create one yourself ;)
Nature is not "completely random" though, and neither are human beings. Human beings generally will not found a city in a disadvantageous spot.
bigger!
