FAangband VS frogcomposband

Angband - Popular classic. This game has a large amount of fan-made variants available too. Three very popular variants are PWMAngband, FAangband and Cthangband.

Most of this week was spent fixing bugs in FAangband, which is the game for the current Angband competition. None of these were fountains.

I have done some "wilderness generation" in FAangband by having a base type of terrain for each biome type, and then adding "formations" (random groups of selected other terrain types) and then maybe some other areas (grassed clearings in forest, for example). FAangband has discrete wilderness levels, so the scaling/zooming doesn't apply. I am, though, coming up against similar problems to yours in Beleriand, which has a fixed world map with set biomes at the top level, but has to fill in all the terrain in a natural way. Note that Beleriand is still in its very early stages.

FAngband - Also known as First Age Angband.

FAangband 2.0.0 is now available for Windows, MacOS and as source. The official site is here.

It's worth mentioning that First Age Angband makes much more of an effort to keep the Tolkien lore authentic.

Frogcomposband has a huge amount of races and classes to play as. 80 various races and monsters by my count. And many classes for the more normal races that I couldn't be bothered to count. Some 51 classes, unless special races also have special classes. Sometimes with extras like picking a certain god, spell school or bias towards good/evil etc. Anything normal you might want such as a human fighter, elf mage, hobbit rogue. To pure monsters or animals of various flavours. Hydras, spiders, dragons, jellies. To very weird ones. Such as a magical ring, possessing others who find it. But can't do much more than cast spells on its own.

There aren't a lot of recent variants. FrogComposband is one of the newest ones and it's reasonably popular. It pretty much just throws loads and loads of extra stuff in. It's a lot.

And Frogcomposband is still very much being maintained. It's just that there's one guy working on it, and so things take time. If you look at github: https://github.com/sulkasormi/frogcomposband/tree/46db75f898189beeb49d64d735cc3a39e9a843e8 then you can see that commits were last pushed about 4 months ago, which really isn't a long time when it's a lone developer.
