This week we'll talk about map generation. Fragmentum supports two kinds of maps. Premade maps, and proceduraly generated maps. Premade maps are maps created in the map editor, and are similar to most other RTS maps. They have a predefined size and number of players, as well as predefined terrain features, they are the same from game to game. Premade maps also support scripts. Proceduraly generated maps are maps generated by a lua script. They are given a size and number of players as input. Both can be player made, and both will be available on the steam workshop.Premade maps can have scripts, allowing custom maps to have gameplay beyond the vanilla of an RTS skirmish. While the scripts are still being developed, they should allow for a wide variety of custom game modes.
