## Description:
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

The data and gamestyle of this map should not change much, as the
landmasses remain in practice the same

## 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Fixed truncated and outdated names: Lao PDR to Laos, Brunei Darussalam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.

Adds Archipelago Sea map. The island map to end all island maps.
This is a real location in Southwest Finland, famous for being the
archipelago with the most islands in the world.
This map is made for the very loud playerbase who enjoys naval maps.
This is probably the most heavy naval map we are gonna get. Given this
is a very experimental and unorthodox map like amazon or 4islands, it
has a rotation of 3 , low but still should pop in for people who prefer
island 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:
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.

Introduces 4 new private match maps for the OFM tournament in May.
Includes 2, 3, 4, and 8 player maps. Playtested, and include as many
default nations as the map expects players, named after compass points.

The base images were created from scratch based on prototype designs,
and they were converted from vector versions I made. I haven't decided
on what the names should be for the maps themselves, so for now they're
just `Tourney Map 1`, `Tourney Map 2`, etc. Ideas welcome.

## Description:
Expands the Aegean map to the left. Currently the 2 major landmasses are
unbalanced, which causes the eastern side to almost always win, both in
FFA and team games.
Original Width: 1600px | New Width=1700px
Also adds more nations / NPCs in the Greek side to create more balance
with the Turkish side, aswell as in the islands, to compensate for the
lack of bots / tribes spawning in there, to boost early island gameplay
and fasten games.

"Baikal (Nuke Wars)" has teamGameSpawnAreas (for Random Spawn), but
Baikal not. Because teamGameSpawnAreas was intended for a "Nuke Wars"
modifier. Let's add teamGameSpawnAreas also to Baikal to improve random
spawning (special rotation) a bit (until we have a better random spawn
algo).

## Description:
Adds Aegean map, a map centered in the Aegean Sea and the aegean islands
between Greece and Turkey. Map has approx. 1M land tiles, size of
1600x2000.
Nations are named after Ancient Greece era city-states and tribes.
Elevation source from OpenTopography, already credited

/>
This has been a heavily requested map in the community, having
suggestions in the Discord, Subreddit and even in some videos (for
example i saw Ultimus Rex suggest an aegean map when asked what maps he
would like in his last stream)
The map is designed so that the greek and turkish main landmasses are
around 400,000 pixels in area, which combined account for around less or
equal to 80% of the map. This means players will have to cross the sea
to win, and to do so they will have to hop across the islands, which
means there will be heavy warship action, instead of having stalemates
like in most island maps where the gap between islands is too large and
players would rather bomb each other.

## Description:
Introduces Passage, an island filled thin map (like Amazon River but
inverted) which is a long, thin stretch of islands that makes for some
really fun gameplay. I playtested with 3 friends a number of times and
it's great in pretty much all the modes. Naval gameplay on this map is
particularly fun since some islands in the center basically hold the
choke points on trade ships passing from one side to another, making
them hotly contested territory.

## Description:
PR to add Bering Strait map. Produced using TOPO data from real world
location, rivers and lakes correct to real world location. The map is
slightly smaller than most so facilitates smaller FFA games or 2 team
game modes.
The centre island has been increased in size to enable better warfare to
capture the strategic location.

## Description:
Preparation for nuke wars, for v30.
Next PR will be adding the nuke wars modifier for public games, but
Wonders https://github.com/openfrontio/OpenFrontIO/pull/3224 needs to be
merged first to avoid merge conflicts.
### 1. Disable boats setting
It's possible to disable `UnitType.TransportShip` now. Because they are
not needed in nuke wars and can even be annoying.

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/661bc10d-b204-4b4f-b876-ee7c9b92de8c"
/>
### 2. Team spawn zones for random spawn
Maps can have `teamGameSpawnAreas` in their json file now.
Spawn areas are currently active if
- a supported map is chosen (Baikal Nuke Wars or Four Islands)
- a supported team size is chosen (2 teams on Baikal Nuke Wars or 2/4
teams on Four Islands)
- random spawn is enabled

https://www.reddit.com/r/Openfront/comments/1qlrqro/these_maps_are_so_fun_i_want_more/
So I thought why not make another one, this time a bit focused on
traders (tiny islands to trademaxx)
And two big islands (about 50% of the map land tiles). So its big
islands vs small islands.
