Map type request

[Lancer]

Inland sea is fun, but I really like in inland sea or two in continents that are surrounded by oceans. Like the Med and Baltic actually are. Hmm, of course those could be considered not inland as they both have small access points. Still, they work for what I'm looking for. Inland seas with small access makes the map a bit more fun.

LandMasses

It's not a guaranteed feature of these maps, but you can set the options to increase the likelihood of inland seas and Mediterranean-like seas. Actually, the settings I use which govern land shape - listed below - frequently produce such features.

128 width x 80 height
3 land masses
9 continents
Even continent distribution and normal continent placement
65% ocean
Rougher coastlines

Thedrin, are you getting those choices in 'custom game'? Are you using BTS? Because I don't get all those choices with Warlords.

[Thedrin]

What are you getting?

The last version of the script was uploaded before BtS was released. It should work fine with Warlords (with which all development was done). The map is only available in the custom game set up menu.

Occasionally the options don't appear for me when I select the map. This is resolved by selecting another map type and then reselecting LandMasses.

The lay out of the options doesn't exactly match how I've written them above.

The available options, in order and excluding standard options such as climate and speed, should be:

Min. Width
Max. Width
Min. Height
Max. Height
Min. Land Masses
Max. Land Masses
Min. Continents
Max. Continents
Continent Distribution
Continent Placement
Min. Land Mass Buffer
Max. Land Mass Buffer
Min. Ocean
Max. Ocean
Coastlines
Hills
Peaks
Mountain Ranges
Terrain
Terrain Homogeneity
Woodlands
Flood Plains
Resources
Resource Land Masses
How Many Land Masses
Resource Tiles
Strategic Quantities
Health Quantities
Luxury Quantities
Let Resources Clump

Lancer, are you using that custom map script??

[Lancer]

I , I just click on

Single player

Custom map...or is it game? Might be custom game, I'll look next time I start up.

Download the script.
Place it into the Public Maps folder of the Civ IV version you're using.
Start up Civ IV.
Select Single Player,
-> Custom Game
For the Map option under Settings, select LandMasses.

And go from there.
