Overview:

Play 1000 population FFA games with massive amount of resources in the random map. This simple mod makes the setting smoother and more balanced to play. This mod is inspired by the EUROPE 1000 population scenario, bringing the concept towards randomly generated maps.

Features:

- No houses needed.
- Longer lasting resources (x 10), e.g.:
- - Gold mine: 800 -> 8000
- - Stone mine: 350 -> 3500
- - Tree: 100 -> 1000
- - Deer: 140 -> 1400
- - Applies to every resource of the map (doesn't apply to farms and fish traps).
- Disabled spies.
- No stone walls allowed.
- Watch tower line limited to 60 units maximum.
- Bombard tower limited to 30 units maximum.
- Castle limited to 30 units maximum.
- Goths have +50 population limit instead of +10.
- Nomad rules: increased villager HP by 50 until the town center is up.
- FFA rules: disabled trade cart; disabled trade cog; disabled caravan; disabled cartography.
- Random maps:
- - LN_FFA_RR_b1: land nomad free for all relic rush beta 1
- - LN_FFA_RRL_b1: land nomad free for all relic rush lakes beta 1
- - MICHI_FFA_RR_b6: michi free for all relic rush beta 6
- - MICHI_FFA_RRL_b2: michi free for all relic rush lakes beta 2

How to use:

When setting up a new game: pick 1000 population option (requires Voobly User Patch); pick one of the random maps included (lake maps are more recommended); players should pick no team and "Lock Teams" option should be enabled; pick a random map (e.g. "Nomad").

How to play (strategy):

In this setting there is not that big of a rush to control the map at first, because as soon as you get some wood, food, gold and stone, you have plenty of resources to boom and start conquering more territory or attacking other players later. Since fortifications are limited, safeguard your conquered territory and corner your opponents by camping with big patches of armies distributing them along the map, this way you can hold your obtained territories as you fight for a new territory. This will help you to even hold and fight against many players at the same time. Given that the towers and castles are limited in number, place them strategically in key points and in the right amount and density according to your criteria.
