Random Everything Deluxe

[Henkdesupernerd]

REDv2 will fix all issues that arise with the WK5.7.2 update.

On top of that there have been several bugfixes, balance changes and additional improvements

I also create this document with an explanation of all the random chances, so you can now find how large is the chance for a suddendeath game, regicide, starting with higher resources etc.

UPDATE: "REDv2" - 5 July 2018

The changes for REDv2 are listed here:

Spoiler: 'Changes'

UPDATE: "REDv2_5.7" - bugfixes. used for FFA event - 8 June 2018

• fixed the out-of-sync issue
• selecting regicide as a starting win condition will no longer result in double regicide resources ponds should no longer spawn in the TC area, which was preventing starting objects and resources from spawning. This would result in more balanced maps.
• monumental middle is reworked: more options and hopefully better balanced.
• lower chance to spawn with walls
• lowered amount of neutral boars
• Removed Gaia kings or hero kings that are not part of a win condition, Queens and hero units will never be part of a win condition
• bugfix: siege tower could spawn
• added more variety in (unique) units you can start with
• lowered the amount of eye candy objects
• water rework: more deep water and more consistent fish

UPDATE REDv2 - 5 July 2018

• fixed game-breaking issue that was revealed after recent UserPatch update.
• new terrains added: Mangrove shallows, Cracked Sand, Dragon Forest, Rain Forest.
• Monumental Middle is now fully functional
• small tweaks to forest and pond spawns to prevent empty maps
• slight tweaks to random distributions to reduce extreme situations
• additional variation in units as options for starting units

Map description (5 july 2018)

Spoiler

This Brand New version of Random Everything (extreme) called
Random Everything Deluxe (R.E.D.) will have many new features.

The map script is designed to create very random map generations with crazy starting objects,
and featuring many randomly selected game modes!

The map can be played on all platforms and it will automatically check which features are available.

For the best experience play it with the expansions and userpatch 1.5, by playing it on WololoKingdoms (v5.7.2)
Userpatch (1.5) is sadly not available on steam (Age2HD) therefore,
all the fun custom game modes that come with the script will not be available on that platform.

Compared to the random_everything (extreme) version RED has many new features:


>> (NEW) GAME MODES <<
Game modes coming with the script (userpatch only!)

- (land) NOMAD
- DARKAGE DEATH MATCH (Spies disabled!)
- SUDDENDEATH: protect your starting town centers, once you lose all you are defeated.
You won't be able to build new Town Centers! (4flags around your Town Center indicate this game mode)
- MONUMENTAL MIDDLE: capture the monument in the middle to creating powerful units!
- KINGGAME: protect your King(s), once you lose all you are defeated. (includes treason!)

Selecting other game modes will work fine, and will override or be additional to the game modes defined by the script
- selecting KING OF THE HILL: 50% chance to train units in the monument, also other win-conditions can be present!
- RELIC VICTORY / CAPTURE THE RELIC will spawn a relic in the middle and an indestructible
monastery for each player (other win-conditions can be present!)
- REGICIDE (KINGGAME will be active)
- DEATHMATCH (will have correct resources, and spies disabled!)
- any OTHER GAMEMODE (turbo random, wonder race etc.) will work as well with this script.


>> RESOURCES <<
Resources can be different every time:

- DEATHMATCH resources! (select deathmatch in the lobby to force death-match resources)
- MEDIUM amount of extra resources (select medium resources in the lobby to force medium resources)
- HIGH amount of extra resources (select high resources in the lobby to force medium resources)
- RANDOM amount of resources (ranging from -100, to +100 for each different resource)
- DEBTS (start with a large deficit of gold, apart from that standard resources)
- STANDARD resources, in the most frequent option. Selecting low resources in the lobby will force standard starting resources

on top of that:
- regicide start gives extra regicide-resources
- nomad start gives extra resources to build TC (land-nomad is an exception)


>> BALANCE (compared to random_everything)<<

- The map is not supposed to be fully balanced, so you can still find yourself in a disadvantageous position.
However, the chance for very unbalanced maps should be lower than the earlier version(s)
- Reduced the chance of forest-nothing like maps
- Removed the option that all players spawn in one corner (since this is almost always very unbalanced)
- Distributed wood lines more evenly over the map


>> TERRAIN GENERATION<<

- More terrains are introduced (including expansion terrains)
- Terrain will often follow some style:
o Barren
o Arctic
o Baltic
o Temperate
o Asian
o Savannah
o Oasis
o (Sub)tropical
o Rainforest/tropical
o Mangrove
- Water now will almost always spawn with shallow water at the shores.
- The map is generated with some structure, leading to chances to look a bit like islands, rivers, continental, and more.
- playing King of the Hill or Capture the Relic will influence the map layout.


>> GAIA, A COMMON ENEMY <<
- A whole bunch of new predators from the expansions roam around the map.


>> GAIA, A COMMON FRIEND <<
- Variety of convertible unit is significantly increased
- Convertible buildings added
- Convertible special units added
- A wide variety of convertible water units


>> RANDOM SPAWNS <<
- New starting units, including expansion units (heroes, military)
- New starting structures, including expansion buildings
- A wide variety of starting water units

>> TECHS <<
- Treason will replace spies in KINGGAME (regicide)
- spies is disabled for DEATHMATCH
- Unable to create more Town Centers in SuddenDeath
- Unable to create more Monasteries in Capture the Relic


>> CHANGELOG <<

- Official release of test version "REDv0" - 22 April 2018

- UPDATE: (tournament version) "REDv1" - 27 April 2018
o fixed a few typos, that might have limited several objects from spawning

first

 

[JRed_Deathmatch]

Dark Age Death Match? If any one ever does this map in a community game get me in there quick 11

 

[T-West]

Baltic

Sounds good.

 

[robo]

Sounds good.

Masters of Baltic returns in disguise

 

[Deathcounter]

I miss the maps where you start with like 20 towers, or where you could lure grimms the apeboy's / iron boars to enemy villagers with a spearmen.The 1 tile paths in the forrests. The relic piles with 3 relics, the random ice tiles which looks like someone had fun in the scenario editor. Normal berries/sheeps/wolfs (tigers, lions, cows, etc are nice but there should also be a chance for aoc animals). Aoc gaia units (militia, scouts). Maybe i dont see them that often because there are more units in the gaia unit pool, but please, please bring back grimm and iron boar ATLEAST
This isnt random everything anymore (but still good)
Also a 0,001% chance for normal ara would be funny :D

I included some screenshots and minimap pictures!
Also I uploaded the map on HD for anyone who likes to play it on HD. you can download it in the steam workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1369710157

Keep in mind that many of the aditional gamemodes do not work on HD, so basically there you just have the crazy map generation, without the crazy gamemodes.

 

This is the first time I've noticed that the minimap says "Microsoft" in the bottom right corner

 

[ChristheCo]

Hi, I don't know why, but when I add this map to other maps in the folder it does not appear in the game, I cant choose this map... Any help?

Most likely you have extracted it to the wrong folder.

to play the map on Voobly using the wololokingdoms mod copy the map to:
...\Age of Empires11\Voobly Mods\AOC\Data Mods\WololoKingdoms\Script.Rm

In the voobly lobby, make sure that the mod Wololokingdoms is selected.

Ok thx a lot, i will try that right away

 

[Henkdesupernerd]

The tournament version "REDv1.rms" is now available (see attachment). This will the the version that is to be used for the tournament games.

 

[woland]

hello. recently the map RED1 is only generating blank map: only grass, 2 couples of gold piles and some stone arcs. I do not know if this is related to the newest WK / userpacth. Or it is only a problem for me?

 

[scripter64]

After the recent fixes for "if" in comments, the missing "endif" after line 253 to close the "if HD" branch causes the issue. Before, one of the random "if" words in a comment was breaking the rms parser, which disabled that branch. Hopefully, if Henk has time, an update can be released for this. Sorry for the trouble!

 

[Henkdesupernerd]

The problem is that I used a terrain that was previously unused by WK to check if the map was played on HD.

I was using a check to see if:
DLC_SAVANNAH was defined.

With WK5.7.2 this is defined so it reads all the HD-specific content aswell.

This is easily fixed by using a different unit/terrain as an 'HD-check' such as DLC_WATER5

That said, this means there might be something wrong with the HD part in the script.

I will test this once more and then I'll release REDv2 which I was working on and which would (hopefully) completely fix the OutOfSync problem, bring more balanced, and introduces a few new features.

 

[Cicero]

Well, there is definitely an "endif" missing from line 254 as scripter pointed out, in the TERRAIN FROM DLC (HD) section. (Apologies if you already tried fixing this.)

 

[Henkdesupernerd]

version 2 is out! it should work on voobly with or without wololokingdoms (also works with other mods), it also works on HD (altough you will be missing some of the random gamemodes, but on the plus side you get some extra terrains)

The update was necessary since a userpatch update revealed a bug which caused the game to crash. Also the version 2 update enables new stuff from WK update 5.7.2 and has a lot of other changes to solve bugs and improve balance (see changelog)

Also I wrote this small guide which lists all the random chances: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1caf8Z3cjySTP7hfSXY3AWqL0n8SXAB48IKzJntpQnnU/edit?usp=sharing

 

[Future_Baes]

I have REDv2 and it is still generating blank maps with wololo 5.7.2
