Hi everyone, That's right, it's the random map generator update!

Random Map Generator

You can now procedurally generate maps to play on! There's a core random game mode which includes optional victory conditions as well as the ability to create a map in sandbox mode. You also have the following customisation options when generating a map:

• Map Size: Small (160), Normal (200), Large (240) or Huge (300)
• Biome: Default, snow or desert
• Water: Little, some or lots
• Natural Resources: Few, some or lots

Please let me know how you get on - we have a dedicated #proc-gen-maps channel in our Discord server for feedback and further ideas.

Patch Notes

• Random Map Generator! Procedurally generate maps with various settings in either main random map mode or in sandbox mode
• New mission info panel - better contextual information about the mission or map you're playing, including an option to edit sandbox settings mid-game
• Fixed some instance of auto terrain adjustment not working correctly when placing road and paths over broken terrain
• Fixed placing harbours over existing roads causing issues
• Top left buttons now have a selected state
• Few more localisation fixes

Once again, huge thanks to everyone providing feedback, bug reports, suggestions and reviews, it's massively appreciated and really helps support continued development of the game. Next month will be the first phase of testing for mod support for the game, so if that's your thing please join in on the #mod-support channel on Discord!
