Island Plates Map, Mountains

[SeeingEyeSnail]

Like to play on the Island type maps but I am finding recently that 4 out of 5 starts are messed up by obnoxious Mountain chains cutting off any sort of decent city placement on the island I start on. Usually set it on Large and Old settings. Like a good 40% of the landmass is made useless by Mountains.

Pretty sure it didn't used to be like this. Anyone else finding this?

Yes, I get the same thing. I thought there was something about them tweaking hills and mountains in the Fall update for island plates. It semed to happen after that.

Island Plates on the whole has annoyed me because it hasn't been lots of islands or clusters of them, just long spaghetti strings of land (to the point that half the civs on the map were cut off from my navy until I settled on a land bridge to get access to the inland sea.
