Map(mod): Enchantment high resources
Modified the Enchantment map to have lots of trees and 4 mines.

I basically just added 3 mines by adding them to the "mines" list.
And I turned a lot of dead tree/tree stumps/dry tree/unusable small trees/bushes/plants into cuttable trees. By moving them from the assets properties to the "trees" section.
So basically had to rename "asset_name" to "asset" and change it to tree_1 to tree_12 on each of them.

I removed all the trees on the island top right these were in the unavailable trees section.
Basicly if you cut down all trees now, you might have a higher FPS then the original map, since there will be less objects on the map :)

Since the game does not have a workshop yet, if you want to play it:
Make a backup/copy of:
Steam\steamapps\common\Norland Story Generating Strategy\maps\map_3.json

Download this file:
dextergames.nl/norland/map_3.json
(Since json opens in browser, either right click->"save page as" or use CTRL+S to download/save the file.)

And overwrite the existing map:
Steam\steamapps\common\Norland Story Generating Strategy\maps\map_3.json
with the downloaded map_3.json.

And you can always undo it by replacing map_3.json with the original map_3.json file.
If you forgot to make a backup, you can always reinstall the game.
(or perhaps delete file, and validate steam files on game might redownload it too).

And have fun :)

I honestly didn't realise we had so many unusable trees in each map. I think that should be changed in the base game if they interfere with the regrowth of normal trees.

Well they change the resources on the maps based on the difficulty level. Maps on right of the world map generally have more resources, as indicated on the world map when starting the game, with the 3 icon bars. Some maps on the left of map have 0 mines or like almost no trees etc. for if you want extra difficulty.
I just really like Enchantment map, since it has a large farming soil area near starting point.
I could adjust the farming soil on other maps, but farming soil has rectangles to mark the area. Placing a 3 extra mines, and changing existing objects to trees was just easier. Until someone makes a map editor, or the devs release one with the game :)

But perhaps the devs in future might add a random map generator with all the parameters you could change. Seems doable for the in game map. But the current world map is kinda static when you look at the current artwork on it.
