Foundation allows players to choose from five official maps or a procedurally generated map when starting a new game.
| Preview | Map Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
 |
Coastal | The Coastal map has it all: beachfront coves, protected by cliffs, whilst inland the rolling hills and plains are ideal for settling and farming. |
 |
Fluvial | The Fluvial map features long stretches of river that split the land. Bridges must be built earlier to allow passage across rivers for villagers and immigrants alike. |
 |
Hills | The Hills map features dense forests, green pastures and a rounded landscape like no other. The absence of fishing can make it more challenging to feed the population. |
 |
Mountain | The Mountain map offers a small coastal stretch of land with rough elevated terrain at you back that will challenge your establishment. |
 |
Valley | At its core, the Valley map is a sinuous river running through lush forest and surrounded by ancient mountains that is sure to please. |
Map Generator
Procedural maps are randomly generated maps that will make each game a unique experience. The map generator is still a work in progress. First introduced publicly in the 1.9.1 Update. Currently there are 3 base map options based on the original maps already present in the game: Coastal, Fluvial and Hills. These maps have several paramaters that can be adjusted:
| Icon | Param | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Ocean | Controls the size of the ocean. |
| Bay | Controls the overall surface taken by bays. | |
| Lake | Controls the overall surface taken by lakes. | |
| Island | Controls the overall surface taken by islands in main water masses. | |
| Cliff | Controls the plateau elevation of the terrain, creating cliffs. | |
| Hill | Controls the bumpiness of the terrain: a low value generates flat terrain with lots of plains, a high value generates bumpy terrain with lots of hills. | |
| Slope | Controls the overall incline of the terrain. |
Additional parameters including improved vegetation, and elevated rivers are being considered for future application.
