That random map theme that nobody liked....
The Random Map Generator will continue to evolve in the next version of The Protectors, but in addition to expanding the existing themes and improving them, we'll be including entirely new themes!
We have quite a few ideas but not all will be possible for 0.8.8, so why not visit this poll below and leave your say on what theme you would like to see most. The poll is multiple choice so please choose your top 3. If you're lucky, all 3 might actually be in the next version!

Voted for Savannah and Swamp, these are my favourite ideas! :)
One question: Will Savannah be cliffed like Outlands, or will it be flat, like some steppe?
IMO, it should have few trees, low to no elevation and one or two rivers, excellent for larger units and cavalry, a nightmare for archers.
This was our initial idea for the Savannah theme:
Savannah (WBC1)
It’s WBC1’s take on desert. Mostly flat and with small features. Relies on tile features for main obstacles. Super useful theme to have for the likes of Kor, Daros and Ar too I think.
Master groups (up to 3): WBC1 Savannah / WBC1 Dirt / WBC1 Sand
Sub groups: None
Feature density: Medium (Cacti, shrubs, rocks) We could use some new Savannah tree features for this one. When I get back into the modeling scene, I have plans to work on new feature before tackling anything else (features would be the easiest to do). I would look into these then.
