ISSUE EXPERIENCED
DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
Since one of the last patches (either the most recent one fixing Arabia or the one directly before), no additional woodlines are spawning on many maps during single-player skirmishes or when I host a game.
On Arabia, straggler trees still spawn around the Town Center, but the regular woodlines are extremely small -less than 10% of their normal size. A similar issue occurs on Runestones. On Amazon Tunnel, only the central tunnel woodline (the funnel-shaped structure) appears, but no additional woodlines generate. This results in only one woodline on each side of the funnel, very far from the Town Center.
This severely impacts gameplay. I have not seen anyone mention this on the forums or in community Discords, so it may be specific to my game state. I suspect a corrupted or inconsistent set of game files, such as broken RMS scripts.
I’m unsure whether I should verify game files or reinstall the game, as doing so might overwrite evidence useful for debugging. If the developers are interested in investigating this issue, I am happy to provide any files or assist in diagnosing further.

REPRODUCTION STEPS
List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!
Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:
- Launch the game (Steam version, latest patch).
- Start a single-player skirmish or host a multiplayer lobby.
- Choose a random map such as Arabia, Runestones, or Amazon Tunnel.
- Start the match and observe the terrain generation of woodlines.
EXPECTED RESULT
What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?
The map should generate with normal woodline distributions: Arabia and Runestones should have multiple, sizeable woodlines near the TC; Amazon Tunnel should have additional woodlines apart from the central tunnel.
