Ability to attach distribution functions to tile probability.

It would be super cool to be able to dynamically specify tile probabilities based on map attributes readily available to the tile at the time a tile is ready to be randomly sampled, like cell coordinates, the current region definition being used, etc. I've seen a kind of pattern before on GraalOnline pre-2005 where certain underwater seabed tiles would be denser or sparser depending on where on the map they were. It might have used a solution similar to feature request 3818. To note this would also be a potential solution to 3818, but I'm thinking arbitrary probability distribution function that can be specified via extension rather than a single seed parameter you enter into the UI.

Describe the solution you'd like

The ability to define probability distribution functions based on different criteria rather than a simple probability number.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• A bunch of automapping variations.
• Using a single tile and then substituting conditionally in a post-processing script.
