Adds Map of the Indian Subcontinent, with indian and pakistani states
and surrounding countries, important rivers like the Ganges, Brahmaputra
and Indus, and Tibet/ theHimalayas
2M land pixels and 52 Nations (i think its fitting that India has the
most nations of a regional map, only continental maps have more)
Should be nice to boost whatever indian playerbase this game might have.
This region also doesnt have any representation aside from continental
maps

21 default nations, based on the towns of the region.
This map uses the brand new additionalNations feature made by FloPinguin

Also changes:
- Better Terrain (old version had no brown terrain and smidges of white
terrain, which made almost all the map practically green terrain). The

all around)

**Adds "The Straits" map:**
A map located around Denmark and the many surrounding straits: Kattegat,
Skagerrak and the Danish straits (thus the name, meant to be a creative
name like "Between Two Seas" and "Gateway to the Atlantic"). This map is
themed in the early 1900s, the nations/NPCs are traditional and
historical regions of Sweden-Norway, Denmark and the Germany.
Relatively small map with ~700k land tiles, similar to World

## Description:
Five performance improvements to the map generator, measured on three
maps of increasing size. End-to-end time on `world` improved ~15×, heap
allocations ~19×.
| Map | Before | After | Speedup |
|-----|--------|-------|---------|
| bosphorusstraits (~612K tiles) | 578ms / 594MB | 45ms / 134MB | 13× /
4.4× |
| world (~2M tiles) | 2333ms / 2128MB | 150ms / 553MB | 15× / 3.8× |
| giantworldmap (~8M tiles) | 10701ms / 9300MB | 635ms / 2509MB | 17× /
3.7× |
Changes (one commit each):
- **`--workers` flag**: bounds concurrent map processing to limit peak
memory
- **Flat `[]bool` visited sets**: replaced `map[string]bool` keyed by
`fmt.Sprintf` with flat `[]bool` indexed `x*height+y` — the dominant
cost
- **`neighborCoords` with stack buffer**: eliminates per-call slice
allocation for neighbour lookups
- **`Terrain` struct 24→16 bytes**: field reorder + `uint8` type for
`TerrainType`
- **Nil buffers early**: releases image/terrain arrays as soon as
they're no longer needed
- **BFS mark-visited on push**: each tile enters the queue once instead
of up to 4×, halving queue memory
also fixes a bug (according to Claude):
Here's the bug: createMiniMap downscales by averaging/sampling 2x2
blocks, copying field values across — including Ocean=true from the
parent scale. When a single connected ocean at 1x splits into multiple
disconnected bodies at 4x (because narrow water channels disappear when
you halve resolution), those smaller fragments still carry Ocean=true
from the carryover. The 4x processWater call picks the new largest
fragment and sets it to Ocean=true, but never clears the others — so
multiple disconnected bodies end up flagged as Ocean.
This PR's fix: before the new BFS pass, zero out every Ocean flag, so
only the truly-largest body at the current scale ends up marked.
It's incidental to the perf work but it's a real semantic change — the
on-disk .bin files will differ from main on any map where ocean splits
across downscaling. The PR doesn't mention it, which is why I flagged
it.

## Description:
Corrected inbalance in Luna map between top and bottom. Now both sides
have about equal land tiles.
Testing and editing was done to help boat-pathing at least look normal
along bottom half.
Additional notch cut in orbit lines to take edge off boat-pathing. Now
obstacle is almost a straight line.
Filled in center orbits to help players push easier. It was reported to
be tedious previously.
'Top Secret Military Base' nation was renamed with only vowels blacked
out for easier reading of joke name.
'Monolith' nation was renamed with a special character that displays
like the actual Monolith.

Starting v32 maps right now!
Adds map of the Middle East. Probably one of the most highly requested
maps.
Very large map (3.4M land pixels, similar to Two Lakes, would become the
2nd or 3rd largest map by land area) of the arabian peninsula and
surrounding regions.
This map has both huge areas of land without water access full of desert
terrain, and massive trade chokepoints, which combined will result in
crazy endgames.
The theme of this map are historical, based on the end of WW1.
Historical flags have been added for the nation NPCs to use.
(High map rotation of 8 since this is probably going to become one of
the most popular maps given the relevancy of the region in real life.)

QoL changes for the Bosphorus map.
The base image for the map had a little aliasing which resulted in some
rivers being cut off.

All of the nations except istanbul also had absolutely nothing to do
with the region. For example, Varna is a city in Northeast bulgaria and
the aegean isles are also nowhere near. There was also a nation that did
not spawn because its coordinates were in the sea.

All of these poor designs are probably the result of the map being
resized, originally being a larger map. It probably explains why this is
the smallest map by land area (not counting Oceania)
Fixes:
- Fixed landlocked rivers and added More accurate bodies of water
- Complete remake of the nations. Nations are now far more accurately
placed districts of the region, and more evenly placed

## 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.

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.

## Description:
Similar to how Europe classic was taken off rotation, we do the same
with Britannia. The newer Britannia was slightly updated to include the
rivers of the classic version, this is because of feedback from players
in the discord server who say the rivers in the classic version are an
important part of gameplay. Map otherwise keeps same nations and size.

Regarding Bering Sea and Bering strait maps:

/>
Because of mixed opinions about replacing the maps, i propose at least
this temporary compromise: Bering Sea gets added as a new map and Bering
Strait gets its rotation lowered to a small number. Since the classic
maps are probably being taken off rotation, we should have some small
breathing space for the 2 maps.
In the near future we should discuss between mapmakers in the dev server
whether we keep, replace or completely take Bering Strait off rotation,
and/or a community poll.

## Description:
Adds map of the Caucasus. This map is made especifically because of the
new update that allows ports to be placed on smaller bodies of water,
rather than just the largest one.
This map has 2 disconnected, large bodies of water of similar size
(Black and Caspian seas), which would create 2 independent trade
systems, creating a more dynamic economy.

Add Map - Conakry
Dataset from OpenTopography. Map rotated 45 degrees from north. This is
a 'long' map in a similar catagory as Amazon River with public rotation
adjusted to match. Different than Amazon in that its stubbier, one
sided, and has various terrain obstacles. Also its a really cool looking
piece of geography.

## Description:
This was a proposal in the map channel of the dev discord server:
**Updates the Europe map to include Iceland, and removes Classic Europe
off rotation.** Classic Europe will remain in custom private map list
The only thing the new europe map didnt have from the classic version
was iceland, so i figured we should update the europe map to contain it,
since Iceland is a popular spawn in the classic version. Iceland is in
the same position as the classic map
The classic europe is frankly a lesser version of the new map as it
doesnt contain rivers , is smaller and the terrain has less quality, and
with the updated version, classic would just take up very needed space
in the lobby queue. We currently have a very large number of maps, which
results in players having to wait for a long time for an specific map in
public lobbies. This should help the issue a little at the very least.

- An edit of The Box with more varied terrain.
- A modification to The World which optimizes play for mobile users.
- A custom remix to Antarctica which re-adds ice to the map.
All maps are edits of existing work. All maps have been added as their
own individual map files rather than edits to existing files for ease of
management.

just `Tourney Map 1`, `Tourney Map 2`, etc. Ideas welcome.
