I've been working on a new map script called Hyrcanian Shores. Players are placed on a zigzag like line between the northern sea and southern hills. The ones near the hills have access to more wood and occasionally some deers and mines. But the ones near the sea have access to a good source of fishes and have a natural block defending their northern side. It is currently under development. I need to add fishes and beautify the shores. Hills need some work too. The script is currently very untidy because it is a major modification of cantabrian highlands rather than being a completely new one. I'd like to know your opinion about it.

Edit:
Finally found a way to add fishes. Hills have some rock terrain painted on them now. and the shores seem better. Added some boars to the hills and polished the map itself a little bit. Updated the download link too.

For download look at the next post

Final Version:
At last I could make the forests thicker. Fixed the remaining known problems. Tidied up the code so others can understand it now. It is now completely ready.
It was the only random map I played against 4 bots in a medium sized map without so much lags. The only known problem with bots is that they don't settle near the southern forests/hills.

I had a quick game on this map. It seems pretty nice. I took the liberty of taking a full map screenshot. There is a big one (~5mb) and a standard one.

Map looks great, but you may want to make the shorelines more jagged. Also, are there any wildlife?

Shore are jagged enough I think. Have you seen the shores on bigger maps? And there is wildlife. Especially in the southern hills.

Updated the map. Fixed most of the problems.

One problem I spotted is schools of fish on the land.

[Spahbod]

Although I couldn't reproduce the bug, I changed the map.

I have seen the schools of fish on land bug that Mythos Ruler mentioned in the Alpha 9 version.

Gotta love trac, especially when one has coding experience, because one can do clever things like borrow fixes with it.
