A new map for AoE3 Demo for 2 players designed in mediterranean style from the earlier ES games.
The following features have been changed:
* The island in the center was slightly enlarged to allow the Native Village to be built on consistantly.
* The island in the center now occurs 100% of the time, not just 70%.
* Slight modification of the trade routes and trading post location to try to avoid overlap with player locations and the lake.
* Changed deer placement to allow only one herd in the initial ROS of the starting area, hopefully spaced out the others more evenly.
* Slight changes in the forest and cliff placement.
* Increased whales from 2 to 3 placed per player.
Please let me know of any bugs!
The only feature I am still not satisfied with is the steep shoreline around the lake, but I have not figured out all of the elevation command details that have been changed from AOM.
To use this map (titled New England), first go to the RM folder of your game directory, and rename the New England.xs file to New England-original.xs
Then unzip this New England.xs file to your RM directory. The next time you play, pick New England map and instead you will get to play this one - just ignore the description. Switch files back to get the original New England map again. Eventually when the game is released we will not need these shenanigans to get a random map installed!
