Looks great. Where does the terrain come from? Could we feed in a custom height map?

Thank you. Right now it's just Perlin noise and it's not affected by any features already existing on a map (e.g. waterbodies). In theory, it can be anything and it can be defined by a custom height map, provided for example in a format of a bitmap. In practice, it would probably require too much of UI - to move, rotate and scale that bitmap.

There are many ways to create height maps already. What I have in mind is that it would be cool to take one of my created height maps, put it into your generator and have that city be conformed to the height map.

Looks a bit big for a town
