Introduction[]
The RMG is in Title/AoW_LevelGenerator.rpk
This .rpk contains only a "Settings" tab.
The following sections describe the Category and Entries of each category.
The RMG has three different generation methods for the surface, one for each map type (Continent, Land, Island) but only one generation method for the Underground.
Vocabulary[]
- Cost: in general, the RMG will put elements in areas where their costs is higher (e.g. Water over other areas for Rivers if the Water Cost is higher). To confirm. Cost reportedly (to confirm) affects the hex of initial placement.
- -1: disables placement on that type of hex, same as putting that terrain in blocked.
- Map factor: a factor depending on the size of the map. The values are approximately (based on empirical observations):
- Small = 0.5
- Medium = 1
- Large = 2
- Extra Large = 4
- Overlay = Fertile Plain, Barren, etc.
- Theme = climate (Artic, Subterranean, Temperate, etc.)
Generation Settings[]
Line 1: Global Settings[]
| Parameter name | Parameter value | Help text from devs | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Max Potential City Domain Radius | 6 | The maximum potential domain radius for a city domain (does NOT affect dwellings since dwellings have fixed domain size). | |
| Overlay Proportion City Initial Domain | 0.3 | The proportion [0, 1] of liked overlay within a cities' initial domain. | |
| Overlay Proportion City Potential Domain | 0.3 | The proportion [0, 1] of liked overlay within a cities' potential domain. |
Line 13: Continent (Structures)[]
As for Zones and Terrain, most of this line describes the default settings of the map that the user can change in the map settings. The only really interesting content is at the bottom: the 3 passes for the Zones generation.

Line 26: Continent - Rivers (Blocked) [Rapids (blocked rivers)][]
Rapids are generated independently of normal rivers. They can be made to fork (noisy rivers), the number of rapids on the map can be tweaked (River Count) but it is very difficult to tweak their length.
By default, the number of rapids on a Medium map is between 0 and 2, and it increases with the size of the map.
The river count uses the following formula:
- Minimm value of rapids = (Min Value * (Map factor + Offset) ^ Power) * Multiply
On Small and Medium maps, especially on Continents, the rapids may be hard to see because they will be covered by all the other terrains and structures that are generated after them (and thus cover them up). Conversely, on larger maps, it may appear as if there are many more rapids than the predicted number. That is because the rapids are very very long and are split into several segments by water between continents, mountains, lakes, and other obstacles.

Create a close independent city of the same race as the player.
[]
Create a close dummy independent city which won't appear in game but will be used by the RMG to add treasure sites as if a city was there.
Line 57 - Surface - Cave Surroundings (Cluster)[]
This entry, along with the Settings version, are responsible for ensuring that all Cave Entrances are on non-mountainous land. It basically places a 1 hex radius section of land, which the later generation passes smooth into something more connected. This is what makes those odd islands that just have a cave and a treasure site or two.
Points to line 58 for settings.
Line 58 - Surface - Cave Surroundings (Settings)[]
See above.
Line 59 - Underground - Cave Surroundings (Cluster)[]
Like lines 57 and 58, these make sure that Cave Exits are placed on walkable land.
Points to line 60 for settings.

City area generation[]
"there’s a weight for each different chance of spawning. For example, every city has a certain % chance to spawn a single gold mine in outpost range. Then on Town range, there’s a chance to spawn 1 or two structures, from pool of (IIRC) gold mine, farm, and all mana nodes (which have reduced chance). It’s….really hard to put one number on every site. There’s four “ring” spawners around each city, and they differentiate between player and independent (independent has easier access to higher level sites), and the independent set is also used for dummy cities (expansions resources in a spot the RMG planned a potential city to found).
Then after those, there’s global spawners, seperate for treasure sites, adventure sites, Inns, and Cursed Wells.
Merfolk also get a special pass that generates 3 sites in the city domain."
