Difference between Agricultural and Plain?

[kronenblatt]

Probably this has been covered and explained elsewhere, but I'm at loss to find it.

In which respects do Agricultural differ from Plain (whether North European, Middle-Eastern, or Mediterranean)? What can be expected in general from Plain, in contrast to Agricultural?

I think this is discussed in the patch notes? As I recall, plains have less chance of woods and hills in the generation of the map. I suppose you could simply generate a few maps using the custom battle and see for yourself.

Thanks. Patch notes only say this as far as I can see:

“Added Mediterranean, North European, Middle Eastern and Tropical Plains. These have been added (10% chance) to Pot Luck terrain selection in Custom Battles. (Agricultural reduced from 60% to 50% chance).”

No hills. Less other stuff.

Even better, go into the Editor and open the Random Map Generator plugin. You can then very quickly generate several maps to compare the differences.

Super, Richard: thanks! This is all I need.
