**Add approved & assigned issue number here:**
N/A — maintainer refactor.
## Description:
Makes each map's `info.json` the single source of truth for map metadata
— adding a map is now a folder with `image.png` + `info.json`, a
`gen-maps` run, and an en.json display name.
**info.json / manifest.json carry full map metadata.** Every
`map-generator/assets/maps/<map>/info.json` declares `id` (the
`GameMapType` enum key), `name` (the enum value — wire format, unchanged
for all 94 maps), `translation_key`, `categories`, and
`multiplayer_frequency` (the public-playlist weight that used to be the
`FREQUENCY` record in MapPlaylist.ts). The generator validates
everything and mirrors it into `resources/maps/<map>/manifest.json`. 23
stale info.json `name` values were normalized to the canonical enum
value; enum values are byte-identical, so replays and stored game
configs are unaffected.
**The generator emits the TypeScript and discovers maps itself.** New
`map-generator/codegen.go` generates `src/core/game/Maps.gen.ts`
(`GameMapType`, `GameMapName`, `mapCategories`, `mapTranslationKeys`,
`multiplayerFrequency` — now a full `Record<GameMapName, number>`,
killing the old `Partial`) on every run; `Game.ts` re-exports it. The
hardcoded map registry in `main.go` is gone — maps are auto-discovered
from the `assets/maps` / `assets/test_maps` directories. MapConsistency
tests fail with a "run `npm run gen-maps`" message if info.json,
manifest.json, and Maps.gen.ts drift. The tracked
`map-generator/map-generator` binary is rebuilt to match.
**New categories: continents + world/cosmic/tournament/other,
multi-category support.** `continental`/`regional`/`fantasy`/`arcade`
are replaced by `featured`, `world`, `europe`, `asia`, `north_america`,
`africa`, `south_america`, `oceania`, `antarctica`, `cosmic`,
`tournament`, and `other`. Maps can list multiple categories, so
straddlers (Black Sea, Bosphorus, Caucasus, Between Two Seas, Bering
Sea/Strait, Mena, Strait of Gibraltar, Hawaii, Arctic) appear under both
regions. Featured is itself a category (same 7 maps as before).
MapPlaylist keeps its arcade exclusion via an explicit set.
**Map picker UI.** Two tabs: **Featured** (default — featured maps plus
a Favorites section when maps are starred) and **All** (one prominent
collapsible bar per category with a map count, collapsed by default).
The selected map is prepended to the featured grid when it lives
elsewhere. `getMapName()` resolves through the generated
`mapTranslationKeys`, which also fixes tourney maps never resolving a
valid translation key.
## Please complete the following:
- [ ] I have added screenshots for all UI updates (maintainer change —
picker described above)
- [x] I process any text displayed to the user through translateText()
and I've added it to the en.json file
- [x] I have added relevant tests to the test directory

Resolves#3041
## Description:
- Add a test to ensure an error is thrown when manifest.json specifies a
non-existent flag.
- Fix the underlying issue by removing the invalid flag specification
(see error below).

## Description:
This PR removes the nation strength. Reasoning:
- It is currently unused. The backstory can be found in #2498
- It forces map-makers to do balancing work, which is probably not a
good idea
- It increases map-making work
- It increases nation balancing complexity by a lot (we need to have all
the json files in mind)
- It makes humans avoid map areas completely because there is always
that one, same, strong nation
- The map lead Nikola123 wants to "not deal with the stupid nations and
their balancing"
If the goal of nation strength was to make them feel different I would
suggest a nation personality system. Nations that love to boat, love to
ally, love to nuke, love to fullsend, etc.

Added about 10 or so cities to the new montreal map.
## Description:
Very minor change, only changed the info.json file for the montreal map,
so that the map now comes with more NPCs. This should make the map more
challenging and fun in offline mode. There is now 13 nations, spread
evenly (as best i could) across the map.
## Please complete the following:
- [x] I have added screenshots for all UI updates - there is no ui
changes
- [x] I process any text displayed to the user through translateText()
and I've added it to the en.json file - there is no text displayed
change, only new nations.
- [x] I have added relevant tests to the test directory - No tests
relevant
- [x] I confirm I have thoroughly tested these changes and take full
responsibility for any bugs introduced
