Is there a way to choose the tile set of a map?

[Bob]

For example if I pick oasis map making it so its a desert map instead of a jungle or forest map?

no, you can only favorite 1 map and ban 1-3 maps

I don't think that's what he was asking about.

You want to select the type of vegetation, right?

Unfortunately, that is not possible. The vegetation is randomly generated.

Same question, but limited to the editor: Can you set the vegetation when generating a map in the editor? Currently I'm just re-generating the map until I have a decent layout and my desired set of graphics, which is kinda annoying for something that by all means should be an option.

There's a filter option for season but nothing else sadly as far as I know.

I would also like to have this option when playing skirmishes against the AI.

A lot of standard maps use different vegetation types (or biomes, climate zones etc.) already. One of my favourite maps, Highlands, is now available with Mediterranean or African vegetation, for example. That's awesome . But it would be even better if I could choose the type of vegetation in the map selection screen.

A few days ago I played as Burgundians and selected only Western European civilizations for the AI. Unfortunately, I got a jungle map with jungle trees and tigers instead of oak trees and wolfs.

That breaks my immersion .

The map scripts typically use a random number to pick from one of several "themes". You could edit the map script to remove the chance of picking alternate versions, but there's no in-game way to control this.

I agree that this would be an awesome feature to add to the game. This is something i've wanted this the release of AoC.
