New Map Types?

Was wondering if it's possible to add options in the generator for more island or peninsula based maps? I'm making an island hopping based game and I'm loving this generator a lot and has helped me greatly.

This is going to be the next big addition to the city generator. To be exact, I'd like to make it possible to generate cities on any land configuration including islands and river confluences.

That sounds awesome! Would we be able to pick how many rivers we want to go through the city or would that be random?

Developer

I don't know how exactly parametrization is going to look. Most likely a couple of new options will be added (e.g. "island", "confluence", maybe something else) in addition to existing "river" and "coast". For anything more exotic (including multiple rivers) there will be an option to upload a "water map" image. I just hope the UI won't be too complex, I hate spending time on buttons and checkboxes...

How about a keep / city underground? Am having to convert another map type for a dwarven keep & the undermountain sectors of the city.

Developer

In my mind underground cities are pretty different from regular ones and as such would require their own generator.
