This commit introduces detailed documentation for modifying the Fantasy Map Generator's population system to create more realistic settlement sizes suitable for medieval fantasy settings. Key features of the documentation: - Complete analysis of current population calculation system in burgs-and-states.js - Detailed code modifications to reduce city populations from ~250k to ~30k - Hierarchical scaling that maintains realistic population gradients - Military impact analysis showing proportional army size reductions - Step-by-step implementation guide with exact line numbers - Testing procedures and validation methods - Troubleshooting section for common issues - Rollback instructions for safe implementation The proposed changes will create settlement populations of: - Capitals: 25-35k (down from 200-300k) - Large ports: 20-30k (down from 150-250k) - Regional centers: 10-20k (down from 100-150k) - Towns: 2-8k (down from 20-50k) - Villages: 0.5-3k (down from 1-5k) Military forces will scale proportionally, creating more historically accurate medieval army sizes where capitals field 60-120 troops instead of 500-1000. The documentation preserves all existing functionality while providing a complete reference for population system modifications. |
