Recommendations on generating tilemaps for strategy game

Hi everyone, I am looking at doing a couple of hobby projects and one that I thought would be fun to do is a turn based strategy game. I've been looking around at how to do random generation but I thought I'd ask here.

What would be some good places to look/advice for generating tilemaps of a set number of terrain types (e.g. 5) that would look more natural/aesthetically pleasing.

Cheers in advance.

Indirectly drawn terrain using a custom game engine built on WGPU and Rust. No GPU readback on the CPU, with GPU vertex merging. Uses the SurfaceNets algorithm for meshing with no LOD (at the moment).

How to create sharp dropoffs and flattened areas in terrain generation?

Came across an old post with some noise examples where someone turned simple noise with some octaves

into the following with dropoffs and flatter areas that run between the elevated portions:

does anyone have ideas of how to go about creating a similar effect for a 2d heightmap?

here's the original post if anyone was interested

thanks

Memory Management for infinite procedural generation algorithm (please help me I beg)

I am currently working on creating an infinite procedural world generator based on Sebastian Lagues tutorials. I am trying to incorporate memory management so that the number of meshes will not ever cross a certain number, cause currently it infinitely creates meshes as long as the player keeps on exploring. So I aim to have it so if there are more than , lets say 70 meshes, then the meshes furthest from the player are found and deleted.

I am struggling however and was wondering if anyone else was able to do so successfully or have any good alternative examples of similar/better algorithms. I appreciate any help, thanks.
