Release 40 - Patch 7

World generation 🌎

One of Line War's best players "valithor" made this great contribution to the game.

• New world generation options in the lobby to switch map type

  • Normal - the classic, randomized world gen scheme

  • Continents - generates a certain number of clearly identifiable continents

  • Land Bridges - generates a certain number of somewhat identifiable continents connected by small strips of land (choke points)

  • Island World - generates a world with a specified number of islands

• Any generated world gets a seed that is self-descriptive, i.e. all you need to get the world back is to copy/paste the seed as usual

• All world seeds are backwards compatible

Bugfixes 🐛

• Less likely for industries to spawn on the edge of the map

  • When this happened no industries anywhere on the map were buildable

  • This will slightly change existing map generation. The PoIs on any previously affected map will now have new PoI placements.

• The "all members ready" localization message

• Saved games breaking on unhandled cases

Enjoy!

Best
