Some common feedback about preview generated maps is that they are too chokey. This change aims to add a new terrain type called "Plots" that retains the variety of terrain features present in the Gardens terrain, but opens up the play area a bit more. In essence, it strikes a balance between the densely packed Gardens terrain type and the loosely packed Plains and Parks terrain types. This new terrain type notably uses a smaller noise feature size to provide smaller but more regular map structure, and expands the pathway cutouts and contour spacings for forests and cliffs. The new Plots terrain type is made available for both RA and CNC and becomes the new default. This is an additive configuration-only change. Replay and multiplayer map generation retains forward/backward compatibility.
