How would I edit the file to create MORE mountain clumping?

I feel like this goes in the opposite direction where there's not enough mountain clumping, so not sure which evil to pick

Thank you. You've made this game playable again.

Doesn't seem to work reliably on modded extra large worlds - got massive ranges everywhere despite this and setting world age to old. Then I get a no mountains at all build on another, rarely get a happy medium.

Thank you so much. So sick of my game being ruined because I spawn with hardly any workable/good settle tiles because a clump of 50 mountains cuts me off from the rest of the continent.

i cannot thank you enough

Thank you for this mod , was tearing my hair out with all the mountain spam !

This is very nice. No more half-my-map-is-useless.
It makes for a much prettier map, too.

Thanks you.

I honestly can't tell if this works because since Rise and Fall I've had mountains make half of a large continent unusable and with this mod I've still had horrible mountain clumping, but I wonder if it's working and would have just been even worse without this mod...

Thought so because couldn't find one simple settling. i will stick to your setting then :)
Thx for a quick reply

There’s no easy or precise way to do it.

Oki I have an important question - is there a way to change some values (in the mod files? Some line in xml/sql?) to adjust it to my own taste? Originally there is too many mountains or rather sometimes constinents are separated by mountain range stretching for like 30+ tiles and it annoyed me. With this mod unfortunetly I miss mountains :) Just sometimes there is not enough and map feels empty and flat. So I would like to find some values between original and your mod.
Oh and ofc in game setup I use option of "New World" so more hills and mountains.

@p0kiehl yeah that seems to be the case. Thanks

@mad-rooky That’s a bug with the game itself. It only affects Island Plates and Archipelago I think. Been in the game since last year.

For me map generations seems to be broken with or without this mod. Mountains are kinda evenly dispersed as single tiles all over the place on any map type. Very annoying. Anyone an idea what i going wrong?

does this clash with any other map mod, like the Larger Maps mod ? i really like a lot of your mods p0khielh , thanks for all your work.

Hello p0kiehl. Hypothetically, if I want to maximize the power of your version of the Mapuche from Civilizations Expanded, would I want to play with this mod enabled or disabled since they get their power from tile appeal? I would assume that fewer mountains means fewer breathtaking tiles.

I love your work man.
But with the new features that uses mountains, is this needed anymore?

Never stop!

Has something gone wrong, following the recent patch? I am back to getting these ridiculous mountain ranges, and I have checked, this mod is in use.

I hate fucking mountains

Fabulous improvement to the maps. Kudos.

I could never figure out why there was no apparent difference between "old" and "standard" mountains until I read through the comment section of this mod. I used to always play "old" in a futile attempt to minimize lengthy impassable mountain chains. Such chains still occur with the mod, but seem to be limited to one or two per huge map, no longer 4 or 6.

does inca's starting location still have lots of mountains?

Thank you! I have about had it with the ridiculous segmenting of the map with mountains. And yeah, I was setting the world to "old" and it was not helping at all.

at first glance, Yes, Thank you.

Thanks again @Scrum Lord! I didn't know that aspect about the world age setting...glad this addresses that too :)

@blazeknave - Just to clarify (as the author of Got Lakes): Got Lakes will effectively ignore this mod, but that's OK because Got Lakes already has a similar fix.

Glad I could help, @p0kiehl!

Fun fact: the GS base game's extra mountains not only ignore world age, but actually fight it because old world age increases gaps between continent boundary volcanoes, which then leads to even more mountains filling-in the gaps. In other words, this mod fixes old/new world age in addition to bringing mountains back to reasonable amounts.

@blazeknave - It's not going to work with Got Lakes. It won't cause errors or anything - Got Lakes just doesn't use the base mountain generation functions and has its own thing :)

Has anyone tested what happens when it's turned on with Got Lakes map generator? (Yes, p0k, I know you're an advocate for the standard maps. :D )

I cannot wait to try this, you are a hero.

Every now and then I would check for a mountain reduction mod but, had to give up on civ 6 due to terrible map scripts, mostly due to how mountains work.

Do you have any intention (or is there even an ability to do so), to make a mountain "slider" for map generation? I understand world age does touch on this but it hardly helps.

Also, is this compatible with other map scripts?

Finally!
Been waiting for this for a long time.

Nice, would you make reduced ice mode? If so, make it plz. I sincerely hope it

Excellent. Hopefully no more starts in the Himalayas.

Very nice, this also indirectly fixes the problems in my Epic and Marathon games where anyone near one of the mentioned mountain clumps is one or two eras ahead of everyone else.
Thanks!

This is amazing, I've been getting annoyed at really clumped spawns lately.

Finally!
Been waiting for this for a long time.

Thanks!
