Settlers of Catan (8player random map)

[Henkdesupernerd]

This map is a real world nomad map where resources are found on specific tiles. The tile distribution is random. The map is designed to be played for 8 players, playing the map with less players is still possible, but the mapsize stays the same (huge map/8-players size).

Wool: Grasslands with many Sheep & Boars
Wood: Forest with a few deer
Wheat: Grassland with forage bushes and farms, and a few cows
Clay: Rocky lands with stone, sandy mountains and a few llamas
Minerals: Mountain peaks with gold and a few goats.
Desert: Barren tile guarded by the "bandit"; a hostile mob who attacks back

The mod comes with 4 mapversions:
ZR@Catan_middle
ZR@Catan(AV)_middle
ZR@Catan
ZR@Catan(AV)

'AV' stands for allied vision, 'middle' means the desert tile is always centered in the middle.

!! Maps require WololoKingdoms and UserPatch 1.5 to play.

Advised settings:
game: Standard, Regicide, or King of the Hill
Reveal Map: Explored
4v4 or FFA Diplomacy (unlock teams)

Where are the docks on every second space of water?

Nice!

Also, for 6+ people there should be 2 deserts Kappa

Great, now I can lose friends without even leaving the house.

Cool map but what was the reasoning for putting trees on tiles that are not wood? In the game you have to trade or give 4 for 1 if you are desperate for a certain resource. Is there any way for people to have a market at the start?

What do you think about putting up a palisade wall (a fence) around the sheep and cows? All the other resources cannot transported off their tile but those. It would force people to waste some time if they wanted to take them all.

There could also be a trigger that prevents them from leaving the tile or moving far. Or even make them immobile.

About wood and food on other tiles: They are just too important, because you need to build houses, mining camp, mill, barracks and create villagers. So you can't make it too similar, if you want to keep more AoE 2 aspects.
