FYI, at end of README, important PERL scripting note:

You may encounter errors/warnings:

GD.pm not a standard module. Must be installed.

User defined modules wont be found by perl. Several ways to fix that. Easiest method was inserting [use lib] at top of some [.pl] files. Change them to your local folder path, in these scripts: border.pl, brand.pl, cave.pl, generic.pl, glyph.pl, hive.pl, plat.pl

On Linux there is a GD package image file access error that can be ignored.

Good Luck

@TheDog Thank you for the document references.

Here's the scripts to automate map making, at least the bulk of it. My way of giving back to this incredible group.

The README will walk you through the scripts and provide a PERL primer for those that dont know.

These will generate terrain, cave and hive maps, and rough out a playable game XML. The HIVE is a blend of PLAT and CAVE to create layers; above and below ground. Connection territories are marked with glyphs that show better when not owned by Neutral.

One issue: are PLACE.txt coordinates the unit-image's top-left corner or center? They appear to be functioning as top-left. Image shows smallest territory size and dinosaur clearly out of bounds. The scripts generate center locations. Easy to fix, just want confirmation.

Good Points

Bad Points

They need at least one more factory in addition to the one in Constantinopolis to reinforce the fronts. I guess they can get away without the Baghdad factory.
