Maps

Foundation allows players to choose from five official maps when starting a new game, or generate a map using the map generator.

Official Map List

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 (BETA)

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. For the moment, we propose 3 different variants of the generator, inspired by some of the original maps already present in the game: Coastal, Fluvial and Hills. Several features are planned for the future such as more map types, customization through a set of adjustable parameters, improved vegetation, and elevated rivers.

Current Map Generator Parameters
