Hey, I'm really happy you enjoyed the generator!! (:

I'm... honestly not sure exactly sure how to add that right now, but other people have asked for it so I might add it someday in the future- I won't add it just yet but I am planning to update the generator every now and then, so if you follow me on Itch.io you might get notified if and when I do- alternatively, you can just check the generator again in a few month to a year lol

In the meantime, I think the closest thing to that would downloading a map with "Size Up 1" (Meaning 250x250 pixels) and editing it in paint or whichever program you wish (;

your generator is gorgeous! could you add a hierarchy of cities-> villages-> countries? and the possibility of increasing them in every civilization? thank you very much

Thank you so much for the kind comment!

What do you mean with "a hierarchy of cities -> villages > countries"? (:
I'd love to give users the ability to change the minimum and maximum places of note (gray) in the future, though- and for now you can also edit maps to suite you better after downloading them, with paint or my new personal favorite pixel art software, Piskel! (or any other pixel editing software for that matter!)

thanks! it means that the number of cities is greater than the villages which are greater than the countries.
my idea was to add as for the number of civilizations the possibility of adding points of different color and number:
a bigger point for cities (instead of black points now)
a middle point for the villages, of greater number
a smaller point for smaller countries.
and if you can connect them with a line. This would make your generator more pleasant: D

Hmm... interesting idea!!

I think you mean "the number of villages is greater than cities which are greater than countries", right? (:

The next thing I wanted to add after finishing up the rivers is roads- but maybe after I do add roads I could try to add more cities and change their appearance too. Perhaps the size of the country or prevalence of a city would affect its size?

The idea with the current system is that black points are "capitals" or central hubs, while grey points can be villages or important spots- but I definitely don't mind expanding on that with future settings and additions, like you suggestion above (: I'll have to make sure it doesn't make the map look way too crowded though, haha

If you want to be notified when I update this project you can follow me on Itch, regularly check / back me on the Patreon, or alternatively I could just let you know with a reply to your comment if and when this feature is added (Though I'd love to try to add it as soon as I'm done with rivers, roads and routes!)

Cheers and thanks for the suggestion!!
