Description
Pangea (or Pangaea) – the supercontinent of old ...
This new random map script features a huge continent covered mostly in forests. Each player starts in a small clearing with food, gold and stone, and with access to the sea. Usually it is not too difficult to cut your way through to neighboring clearings to expand into the forest, and you will need to, because the starting space if very limited! There are six different themes, each with different forest types and terrains – Standard, Alpine, Frozen, Asian, Jungle and Desert. They all have the same amount of forest, it just looks different.

This is version 2:
-LudiKRIS support added
-Bonus units added - siege onagers (good) and outlaws (bad)
-Cliffs removed
-Forest mixing and more resources added


Strategy:
You starting space will quickly fill up with buildings so start cutting your way through to neighboring clearings (which should often be quite close). Just make sure you do not establish a land connection to your enemies before you are ready!
It would be foolish to ignore the sea. There are fish to be caught, and you have lots of wood, so make sure you build a fleet – you don’t want your enemies landing troops right in the middle of your town, just because you forgot to protect your seaport.
If you’re short on gold, consider sending trade cogs to your allies or perhaps try to cut through the forest to establish a land connection.



The AI plays this map with some difficulty. Due to the space constraints in the starting clearing it will have trouble completing its build plan and will not do as well as well as usual, so consider using a harder difficulty level than you normally do.

Also, it can occur that players are connected by a canal instead of by the sea. If this happens, try using a larger map to reduce the likelihood of player to player waterways.


To play, choose the following when setting up a match:

Map style: custom
Location: ZN@Pangea_v2.3
(CLEAN version has no rescuable gaia units)

I hope you enjoy the map, and thanks for all the support!
If you have any requests for a specific random map script, let me know, and I will see if I can make it happen : )

@[FS] Baron Wolfgang - Yeah, I need to fix everything. I'll do it in the next couple days.

Hey, I love the map, play it all the time. However, since the new update the scripts doesn't seem to be working. :( Any idea how to fix this, if you're going to update the map at all. Playing on African Kingdoms btw.
It gives me the bug that .0 is not a proprer formant because .rms is, so I tried fixing it myself by by removing the .0 from it. But then it gives the error of OAK_FOREST.
Anyway, I hope you'll update this map, it's my favourite. :)

You're a super good mapper. Hope to be able to make scripts nearly as good as yours one day.

You're the man! I am subscribed, so it should be automatically put into the game, I imagine. Super cool, thanks for getting back to me so fast, that's better than most people! :)

@~FS~ JPence: I just updated this mod to include a "clean" version which has no outlaws and siege onagers. Enjoy!

This map would be the bomb without all that stupid gaia hanging out in the forests. Is there a chance of a new version with traditional unit startouts? I don't like the idea of getting free units from the forest, and prefer a traditional AoE type of game. Without the Gaia, I'd say this is the most awesome map script I've ever found.
