Fantastical Map Script

Maps with not much bearing on reality. Vast jungles next to icy wastes, etc. Mountains tend to divide regions of differing terrain. Number of deep oceans (requiring Astronomy to cross) is controllable.

The map is a rendering of a polygonal world--a smaller map is just a lower resolution, therefore has smaller continents, regions, mountain ranges, rivers, etc. The number of polygons that make up the world of is controllable with the Granularity option.

Names can be given to places on the map with the dependent mod Fantastical Place Names. Just enable that mod, and names will be revealed when tiles are explored, and persist through savegames.

It is possible to enable Climate Realism, but it's no Planet Simulator or Perfect World. The "realism" is a simple model based on latitude, with some randomness.

This script (version 6 and above) is compatible with Alpha Centauri Maps. To create a map similar to Map of Planet, set Landmass Type to Alpha Centaurish, Land at Poles to No, and Climate Realism to On.

Custom Options

Landmass Type: The arrangement of land and oceans. The first half of the options (Land All Around to Random Globe) are globes that wrap east to west. The second half (Dry Land to Random Realm) are realms that do no wrap.

Land at Poles: Whether or not land is placed at the top and bottom hexes of the map.

Climate Realism: If set to On, latitudes will more or less determine terrain. Left at Off, it is entirely possible that jungles will occur at the poles.

Granularity: How many polygons make up the world. Higher granularity will create smaller regions, more isolated islands, and straighter, thinner ocean rifts.

World Age, Temperature, Rainfall: All have more than the usual number of options. World Age goes from 1 Billion Years to 6 Billion Years, Temperature from Snowball to Global Tropics, and Rainfall from Arrakis to Arboria.

Doomsday Age: How long ago has did this world pass through destruction? This controls the placement of city ruins, roads, and fallout.
