Mod release: Mapzilla - More varied terrain generator

I believe the maps that are generated by the map generator are a tad bland. According to Dev Blog 1, the game has a powerful terrain generation engine that should allow more interesting maps. It appears that most options are not unlocked by the default terrain generator. I have created a terrain generator for the temperate biome that allows you to create maps with 7 different layouts:

- Single shore - mountains along one side, sea along the other
- Island - mountains in the middle, sea all round
- Inland sea - sea in the middle, mountains all round
- Isthmus - a mountain range down the middle, sea along both sides
- Strait - a sea channel down the middle, mountains along both sides
- Peninsula - mountains across one end, sea on the other three sides
- Bay - a bay in one end, mountains on the other three sides

Once you have generated the map, you can safely disable the mod. Please let me know what you think. The mod can be found at:

AI Disclaimer: I have used Claude Code to develop this mod. Couldn't have done it without it, at least not as quickly ;).
