King of the Downhill

Description
Mainly King of the Hill map. Defending the wonder is harder because its on lower ground than other land.

Everyone starts with two Town Centers for faster game. Resources are plentiful and combat starts (hopefully) early due to close player placements.

Recommended options:

-King of the Hill
-Smaller map size than player count (for example: 6 player map with 8 players)
-Combat starts earlier, more interesting match

This map was born when I was bored and wanted to do something. So I thought: "I like Resonace22's stream's King of the Hill games so why not try to make random map that I could suggest him to play?"
I tried to make fast start (2 TCs) and earlier combat (close players, mainly because 2 TCs) for more interesting match. And hopefully a stable map. I'm still really new to random map scripting (<1 week experience) so feel free to leave any suggestions.

To play select following when setting up match:
Game: King of the Hill
Map Style: Custom
Location: King of the Downhill

Changelog:
1.0: Release
1.1:
-Added stragler trees around TCs
-Adjusted middle pit size and resource spread
-NOTE: I tried to remove the big gaps (usually there are 1-3 gaps) between 2 players that appear when generating the map. It seems that removing them is impossible. I even tested the map with 12 TCs per player and the game still refused to use the land in the gaps. Distance between player's TCs is only long if player's position is on one of those gaps I talked about. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=643648298
-Land is rounder so players will have fairer fishing spots.
-There is more water and fish around edges for better fishing opportunities

Thank you for downloading my random map!
