Re: new map generator
I actually like the clean, crisp colors on maps like this, but I've always had a certain minimalist aesthetic with maps.
Certainly, given the amount of time I expect to spend staring thoughtfully at these, it'll be nice to have variety.
FYI - on a map like this, this is how many start sites fit:
Minimum Distance , Minimum Neighbors , # of starts total (water)
4 , 4 , 10(2)
4 , 6 , 5(1)
5 , 4 , 9(1)
5 , 6 , 5(1)
6 , 4 , 8(5)
6 , 6 , 5(1)
7 , 4 , 6(3)
7 , 6 , 4(2)
Anyway, I think it looks cool, but has a bit too much water to be well-balanced, unless the number of start sites is quite low. Of course, as just a map to play on, it's great.
Thanks for the great work!
