Resolves#4250
## Description:
Huge update for the map categories:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b7dc6344-efdc-4073-b15a-92b6dccdcc19
**New Categories**
- Re-adds Continental category, with the 7 traditional continents
- Re-adds the category of Arcade along all its maps.
- Renames "Other" to "Fictional", so that tag is more specific and feels
more in-theme with the others. The info.json's of the maps that had the
Other category got changed to Fictional
**Map Category changes**
- **achiran**: adds Europe (while the map is fictional, it is made up of
real islands from ireland. (Since world includes Dyslexdria and
Antarctica has Deglaciated Antarctica, both fictional , i figured for
consistency we could include these mash-up maps too)

- **arctic**: adds Asia category
- **choppingblock**: updated "other" to "fictional", added to "new"

mediterranean borders

**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.

picker described above)

## Description:
Comprehensive accuracy and quality-of-life improvements across 8 maps.
No gameplay mechanics changed: only nation names, spawn positions, and
flag codes. All changes bring maps closer to real-world geographic and
historical accuracy.
**Changes by map:**
1. **North America:** Corrected numerous incorrect state spawn
positions. Added all 13 Canadian provinces and territories with correct
flags, as well as a few additional bots for balancing and completeness.
2. **South America:** Corrected spawn positions of Venezuela, Suriname,
and French Guiana. Added four Brazilian states (Amazonas, Pará, Bahia,
São Paulo) for better regional coverage and balancing.
3. **Gateway to the Atlantic:** Full historical consistency pass
targeting the ~1340-1410 CE period, matching the existing Britannia and
Italia map style. Renamed several nations for historical accuracy (Duchy
of Burgundy, Kingdom of Navarre, Kingdom of Majorca, City of Avignon,
Crown of Aragon, Duchy of Aquitaine, Hafsid Sultanate, Marinid
Sultanate, Zayyanid Sultanate, Holy Roman Empire). Added 7 new
historically accurate flag SVGs for these nations.
4. **Europe:** Shortened long-form nation names to short-form for
consistency with other maps. Added Andorra and Monaco for improved
balance.
5. **Europe Classic:** Fixed "Syrian Arab Republic" to "Syria" for
consistency with all other maps. Added Baltic states, Croatia, Denmark,
Sápmi for balancing.
6. **Oceania:** Removed ghost bots that no longer appear on the map.
Fixed truncated and outdated names: Lao PDR to Laos, Brunei Darussalam
to Brunei, TimorLeste to Timor Leste, Taiwan Province of China to
Taiwan.
7. **World:** Fixed outdated names for accuracy and consistency with the
World map and other maps. Added bots in regions lacking coverage for
more consistent global representation.
8. **Giant World Map:** Updated nation names for accuracy and
consistency. Added Canadian provinces, US states, Bolivia, and Gabon for
improved map balance.
All changes made and verified in the map editor. No en.json or UI
changes required as these are map data files only.

## Description:
Small-island removal previously ran only on the full-size terrain. The
compact (4x downscaled) map inherited that filtering before being
downscaled, which meant islands that survived at full size could end up
as tiny specks in the compact map.
This PR runs `removeSmallIslands` on the 4x terrain as well, with half
the threshold (15 vs 30 tiles), so very small islands are pruned in
compact maps while the full-size map is unchanged.

Re-submission, previous request was not branched properly.
## Description:
Add custom map Dyslexdria. Based off of large_world_map_recolor.tif and
rivers from the XL World map. Map is intended for long term use.
Suggesting that map be used as an April Fools gag by replacing thumbnail
and title with 'World' during first run.
