fortressRadius

Default fortress placement (chosen by fortress type string) The x/y position in this case marks the center point of the fortress. To make it clearer, we add an obilisk as a visual marker. This is the only wall placement function that does not take an array of elements as an argument. Instead, we provide a "type" that identifies a predefined design to draw. The list of possible types are: "tiny", "small", "medium", "normal", "large", "veryLarge", and "giant". For this function, orientation is the direction in which the main gate is facing.
Source:

maxWallLength

Linear wall placement This function draws a straight wall between two given points. This function does not permit the use of bending wall elements. This function has no orientation parameter, the wall pieces are angled automatically. Remember: each piece is placed to the left of the previous piece. Thus, if the start point is at the right-hand side of the screen and the end point is at the left-hand side, the "outside" of the walls is facing the top of the screen.
Source:

maxWaterLevel

At which height to stop increasing the water level. Since players can survive on ships, don't endlessly raise the water.
Source:

maxWaveTime

Maximum time in minutes between two consecutive waves.
Source:

patrolCount

Number of trigger points to patrol when not having enemies to attack.
Source:

percentPerMinute

Increase the number of attackers exponentially, by this percent value per minute.
Source:

playerIDs

The player IDs and locations shall only be determined by the landscape functions if it's not a nomad game, because nomad maps randomize the locations after the terrain generation. The locations should only determined by the landscape functions to avoid placing bodies of water and resources into civic centers and the starting resources.
Source:

radius

'Generic' fortress placement (iberian wall circuit code) The function used here is unusual in that the owner and style arguments are swapped. It is also unusual in that we do not supply an orientation. The x/y position in this case marks the center point of the fortress. To make it clearer, we add an obilisk as a visual marker. We also supply a radius value to dictate how wide the circuit of walls should be.
Source:

radius

Circular wall placement It is possible with this function to draw complete circles, or arcs. Each side of the wall consists of the contents of the provided wall array, with the code calculating the number and angle of turns and sides automatically based on the calculated length of each side and the given radius. This function does not permit the use of bending wall elements. In this case, the x/y co-ordinates are the center point around which to draw the walls. To make this clearer, we add an obelisk as a visual marker. We also provide a radius to define the distance between the center point and the walls. For this function, orientation is the direction that the opening of an arc faces. If the wall is to be a complete circle, then this is used as the orientation of the first wall piece.
Source:

radius

Regular Polygonal wall placement This function draws a regular polygonal wall around a given point. All the sides follow the same pattern, and the (automatically calculated) angles at the corners are identical. We define how many corners we want. This function does not permit the use of bending wall elements. In this case, the x/y co-ordinates are the center point around which to draw the walls. To make this clearer, we add an obelisk as a visual marker. We also provide a radius to define the distance between the center point and the walls. After the usual array of wall elements to use, and before the style argument, we provide the name of a single wall element to use as a corner piece. In this function, orientation is the direction the first wall has its outward side facing or, if the `skipFirstWall` argument is true, the opening in the wall.
Source:

radius

Irregular Polygonal wall placement This function draws an irregular polygonal wall around a given point. Each side of the wall is different, each element used selected at pesudo-random from an assortment. The angles at the corners also differ. We can control this randomness by changing the irregularity argument. This function does not permit the use of bending wall elements. In this case, the x/y co-ordinates are the center point around which to draw the walls. To make this clearer, we add an obelisk as a visual marker. We also provide a radius to define the distance between the center point and the walls. The usual array of wall elements is left out here, instead we provide the name of a single wall element to use as a corner piece. In this function, orientation is the direction the first wall has its outward side facing or, if the `skipFirstWall` argument is true, the opening in the wall. The very last argument is the collection of wallparts used to build the wall. It is not defined in this example (so as to use the defaults) as it is not easy to comprehend.

waterIncreaseTime

Time in minutes between increases of the water level. If the water rises too fast, the hills are of no strategic importance, building structures would be pointless. At height 27, most trees are not gatherable anymore and enemies not reachable. At height 37 most hills are barely usable. At min 30 stuff at the ground level should not be gatherable anymore. At min 45 CC should be destroyed. Notice regular and military docks will raise with the water!
Source:

waterLevelIncreaseHeight

Number of meters the waterheight increases each step. Each time the water level is changed, the pathfinder grids have to be recomputed. Therefore raising the level should occur as rarely as possible, i.e. have the value as big as possible, but as small as needed to keep it visually authentic.
