These are the main features of the Communitas Map. The goal is a middle ground between aesthetic realism and gameplay balance.

This map creates several continents and numerous offshore islands, with realistic climate and many advanced features.

Notes Edit

I've included my personal tweaks to Rich Marinaccio's PerfectWorld map in this project for some time. I'm now taking it in a new direction with extensive new improvements to realism and gameplay balance. If you wish to play the original PerfectWorld script, I renamed the modified version to Communitas, allowing both scripts to coexist on the map list.
