+- **Map-specific aiscripts** (c. DF)
+	- Documentation forthcoming.
+- **Custom resource areas:** (c. DF)
+	- You can now override default resource areas via this tech from DF! Instructions are below.
+		- Draw locations around resources.
+		- Name the locations `RESAREA_#`, where `#` is a number between `1` and `249`.
+		- You can use multiple locations with the same name for the same resarea id.
+		- When using multiple locations, append `+` at the end of the location you intend to use for the resarea's center. If not appended, the game will choose the earliest-created location as the center.
