The "Random All" map set now uses the 5.0 versions of all maps (if they have them) and added to that map set are Frozen Wastes, Blue Lagoon, and Painted Desert.The "Random BillGregg Tourney Maps" map set has been replaced with the old "Random 2017 Party Maps" map set."(ESO)" replaces "Classic" because doing it this way makes it clearer what version of the game these maps belong to. The z is added in order for the maps to show up last in the map list to prevent missclicks. Previously these maps were prefixed with the word "Classic".
The no patch maps' prefix has changed.Painted Desert now properly spawns gold mines in 1v1, preventing cases where one player could end up with a majority of mines on their side.Frozen Wastes now properly spawns gold mines in 1v1 and teamgames alike.Mediterranean should now always spawn the first group of 3 fish directly in front of the player (seen from the center).Midgard should now always spawn the first group of 3 fish directly behind the player (seen from the center).Adjusted forward settlements to reduce the frequency of two settlements spawning very close to each other (note that this does not imply that settlements now spawn closer to the players).Starting gold should now always spawn within tower line of sight (but may barely be in tower range).Starting hunt should now always spawn either in starting line of sight for all players or out of starting line of sight for all players.Maps now always warn after loading if any important objects such as settlements, gold, or sources of food failed to spawn (should rarely occur).Fixed a large amount (!) of cases where key resources like gold, hunt, or fish did not spawn properly or at all in both 1v1 and teamgames.Maps belonging to the standard "Random" map set changes:.Maps in 5.0 remain very similar to 4.0, but have received various improvements as mentioned below.All maps in the standard "Random" map set now support the merge mode as also described in the link above.All maps in the patch now support the brand new much improved observer commands as described here.A small reminder that all maps in the standard "Random" map set (Painted Desert now too) still support additional observers without corrupting the recorded games (last team method, explained ).Ra - Rain no longer increases the caster's Laborer's wood gather rate by 50%.When playing on the fast random set without observers, this AI can be added and set to team 3 in order to provide observer commands to the people watching the recorded game. The initial message that is displayed after 5 seconds no longer lists players in the order they were placed on the map.Fixed a bug on Mediterranean where a player's central fish spawn could get pushed to the enemy side.
