enum TropicZone

Additional infos of a tile on a tropic game.

The tropiczone is not modified during gameplay. It mainly affects tree growth. (desert tiles are visible though)

In randomly generated maps: TROPICZONE_DESERT: Generated everywhere, if there is neither water nor mountains (TileHeight >= 4) in a certain distance from the tile. TROPICZONE_RAINFOREST: Genereated everywhere, if there is no desert in a certain distance from the tile. TROPICZONE_NORMAL: Everywhere else, i.e. between desert and rainforest and on sea (if you clear the water).

In scenarios: TROPICZONE_NORMAL: Default value. TROPICZONE_DESERT: Placed manually. TROPICZONE_RAINFOREST: Placed if you plant certain rainforest-trees.

Enumerator:

  TROPICZONE_NORMAL | Normal tropiczone.
  TROPICZONE_DESERT | Tile is desert.
  TROPICZONE_RAINFOREST | Rainforest tile.
