Age of Empires II: DE |

The goal of HyperRandom is to provide a large amount of variation, while still making it reasonably fair, by providing the same variation for each player.
HyperRandom will generate maps that seem similar to standard maps, but does so totally at random. There is no pack of maps that are chosen from; rather many different parameters are varied.
You can customize HyperRandom to your own preferences, by commenting or uncommenting definitions at the top of the script.
I provide several presets:
ZN@HyperRandom has most of the random features enabled.
ZN@HyperRandomLand is only land maps
ZN@HyperRandomLight disables a lot of randomization in an effort to provide an experience that might be more suitable for competitive gameplay, and more aligned with the standard maps. Resources and units are always standard and map layouts try harder to be balanced.
ZN@HyperRandomX256 comes with the ability to research techs multiple times.
This map script should run on ALL versions of the game
AoC, AoC+UserPatch, WololoKingdoms, HD Edition with and without DLC, and the Definitive Edition.
The biomes will look best in the Definitive Edition, because there are more terrains to choose from.

I must have done something that breaks backwards compatibility. Try one of the previous versions in the download. I will look into fixing this problem in the next update. |
