Map Settings

Post by Resand »

Any information on how the different map settings work?
Richness seems to work just about how you would think, higher settings means more stuff per tile.
But as far as Frequency and Size goes, I can barely see that it does anything at all. I just got 8 oil fields, 3 tiny iron and two huge copper within the starting area.
Settings:
- Oil set to Very Low frequency and Very Small size,
- Iron set Low frequency, Big size
- Copper on Low frequency, Small size and Good Richness.

The results doesn't reflect this at all :?

Frequency makes resource fields rarer but bigger. Size does what you would expect, it decreases the size of the fields (some of the smaller fields can disappear entirely). What Richness does you already know.

The game also boosts the probability of ores occuring in the starting area, which might be why you have so much resources there. This cannot be controlled in any way as far as I know.

Also this settings are for the game to have more probability of what the setting says i think :) If you create a lot of maps, you can see this :D
