== 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. | |||
