=== Treasure Generation ===

Zone treasures are generated as groups of objects. All objects of a group are adjacent, and share the same protection (if any). Each group falls into one of the three treasure categories that you can specify in zone settings. Each category is defined by a value range and a frequency. Value range control the value of the object group (defined as the sum of individual object values), and frequency controls the amount of object groups that will be generated (the amount of object groups is proportional to the frequency, but it also depends on zone size).

Each group is generated as follows. A random number '''total_value''' is generated within the value range of the group's treasure category. Then, an object with a value between '''total_value / 4''' and '''total_value''' is randomly selected among valid objects for this zone. The probability for an object to be selected is proportional to its frequency.

Then, as long as the value sum '''group_value''' of already generated objects meets one of the conditions '''total_value - group_value &gt;= 1500''' or '''group_value &lt; total_value / 2''', another object with a value between '''0.25*(total_value - group_value)''' and '''1.25*(total_value - group_value)''' is randomly selected and added to the group. This process is repeated until none of the 2 conditions are met, or no valid object can be found within the requested value range. Object groups can be made of a single object.

In HotA strength of treasure object guards that can block the road is limited to one third of zone maximum treasure value (possible bug - it looks like right now the limit is rather ~42,25% instead of 33%. Also take into an account, that number of creatures will always be lower than final value, f.e. if max value in zone is 10000, then max road block is ~4225. However, 76 pixies * 55 = 4180 < 4225, so pixies will block the road).
