About This Mod

This mode allows more control over the parameters of a standard terrain generator for a temperate climate. An unmodified generator can only set three different parameters (Hilltop, Water and Forest), which in turn will affect several internal parameters such as lake generation, mountain height and others. This mod provides the user with many of these options, allowing a much more detailed influence on the resulting map. With this fashion you can, for example:

- Establishment of river systems without lakes

- Creating one river with one or more large lakes

- Creating a rugged alpine mountain terrain

- Creation of tree plains

- and more

The landscape generation library itself has not changed, mod will still use the original Urban Games landscape library, just with some more flexibility.

How to use ***

- When starting a new game, you can use the mod without first activating it. Simply select "Moderate" as the climate and "Terrain (Extended)" as the terrain generator.

- If you want to use mod in the map editor, you must first enable it in the launch dialog of the map editor by selecting "Custom".

Warnings***

- Some combinations of parameters seem incompatible with each other. In this case, you will receive an error message in the map preview window. Just undo the last change and try again.

- Mod allows for intensive forestation (much more than in the unmodified version). However, trees are depressing performance, so make sure you have enough processing power when choosing high values

forest - The final layout of the map will still depend heavily on the random seed value, and some parameters may not have the desired effect under certain circumstances. In this case, it is recommended that you update the random seed and try again.

- Unfortunately, some values of trees for mountain ranges and hills are hard coded in the landscape generation library and cannot be influenced from the outside. To suppress all trees, including those that grow on hills and mountain ranges when the forest value is set to zero, it is also necessary to suppress mountain resource generation, which is the fashion nowadays for when trees are not needed. Still learning this, but for now you'll have to do without stones if you don't want any trees.
