Uneven distribution of towns

Post by Schnabo »

Is there any way to generate maps with an uneven distribution of its towns? That is, instead of cities being evenly placed across the map, "clusters" of cities would appear - sort of like metropolitan areas, with adjacent suburbs. I've tried adjusting the number of cities and the variety distribution, but to no avail. Is it possible? :)

Can't you just generate a random map in the scenario editor with no cities/towns and then place the cities/towns where you want them ??


Kind regards

Yeah, I've tried that way but it can be quite time-consuming if you want to play a large map, so therefore I was looking for an easier, quicker way, if there is one. :)

That's true. It'll take a long time to do manually - And you need to make sure ALL difficulty settings are just right before saving the scenario..

I learned that the HARD way.. :?

It might be possible to influence world generation with a NoGo script. Can't remember for sure.
