What this mod adds

YnAMP extends Civ7 with larger map sizes, Earth maps with fixed geography, and custom map scripts built around the current Civ7 MapScript API.

Included content:

• Larger playable map sizes for custom scripts and Earth maps.
• Giant Earth and Greatest Earth maps with true-start support.
• Continents++ and Terra variants adapted for YnAMP sizes and options.
• Custom start-position shuffles for cultural and Terra-style distribution.
• TSL natural wonder placement modes for Earth maps.

Included maps

Active map scripts in the current build:

Map	Type	Main use
Continents++ (YnAMP)	Generated	Large random map with YnAMP sizes and settings
Terra (YnAMP)	Generated	Two-landmass Terra-style Voronoi map
Greatest Earth Map (YnAMP)	Fixed geography / TSL	Compact Earth map with true starts
Giant Earth Map (YnAMP)	Fixed geography / TSL	Large Earth map with true starts

Compatibility notes

• Current documentation is aligned with Civ7 v1.3.2 behavior.
• The mod version source of truth is modules/version.sql, which currently reports 1.0.14.
• Giant and Ludicrous sizes still carry the in-game warning about missing tile textures above width 127.
• ScenarioScripts are registered in the mod metadata, but gameplay-event support is not treated as reliable yet.

Documentation

• MAPS.md: active maps, sizes, and configuration notes.
• CHANGELOG.md: documented release history from the current refactor onward.
• MODDING NOTES.md: Civ7 MapScript development notes and debugging guidance.
• PORTING_NOTES.md: API changes that mattered while aligning YnAMP to Civ7 v1.3.2.
• GEOGRAPHIC_UNLOCK.md: design notes for geography-driven civilization unlocks.
• docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md: practical checks for map generation and setup issues.

Known limitations

• Fractal and rotated Giant Earth entries exist in the repo but are not currently enabled in the map list.
• Some natural wonder footprint notes are still empirical and need more validation across repeated runs.
• Historical changelog entries before v1.0.14 are not fully reconstructed in the docs yet.
