[PATCH] Bug on Deep Forest random map

[historic_bruno]

See http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16201 for original report.

The problem is Deep Forest is placing chickens (possibly other things?) inside the player's starting CC, which indirectly cripples AI but it doesn't help the player either :)

4 chickens and a pig inside the CC foundation

The way those pigs and chickens (and the whole bunch of fauna) are generated in deep-forest is horrible. I can fix it but it is better that FeXoR does it himself.

The important thing is just to make sure the starting resources are X tiles away from the civil center, regardless of map size :)

Well, he didn't use the standard rmgen functions in this map. Currently those animals are generated the way forests are.

Sorry for taking so long...

Here's an updated version. It fixes the animals inside the Civil Centre.

It still might happen that animals wind up in a stone or metal resource entity. Deer in the woods might cause a similar problem when surrounded by trees. This will be a bit harder harder to fix though.

BTW, similar things will happen on most random maps for Iberians with their civ bonus walls if any entity that can be gathered from is placed inside a wall.

So in general this is more a problem of entity placement in random maps and that again is caused by RMGEN not being part of simulations...

Why?

The fix works and I couldn't find much problems.

Sorry, edited my previous post after you wrote yours.

I really think thats an entity placement problem in general for random maps. But I think that needs further discussion anyways so good to have more than one point of veiw :)

BTW, on most maps there are trees surrounded by other trees. That could cause similar problems for the AI as well.
