Question about Random Maps

[76mm]

I've gone through the manual, and it looks like the random map generator has lots of good options. One question though: after the random map is created, are the appropriate types of civilization assigned to the appropriate type of terrain?

In other words, are warrior-type nations assigned to forested/hilly/mountainous regions, and legion/hoplite-type nations assigned to more open terrain? Or are the civilizations randomly plopped down into whatever terrain?

Hi 76mm,
someone already asked this question and I have to humbly confess that this is now not taken into consideration. It is already logged in our system and this will be addressed for sure. I cannot promise that it will be in the next update (there are some more important items) but I can promise that this will be done.

I want to add the following. You can eventually generate a random map with the settings you like and enter editor mode (Alt -A) and edit a complete scenario how you want it based on the random map. If you export it as a new scenario afterwards you can even select every tribe to play with as in a normal scenario.
I know it's not answering your question directly, but I want to give an alternative.

OK, thanks for the info. For now I'll deal with the issue via the editor but it would be nice if it is handled automatically in future.

I would like to see an option to generate map like one ore more "island" surrounded by sea ... so all map borders will be sea. Is is possible?

Hi Matto,
right now there is no such an option. You can tweak some map generator parameters in the editable mod.ag file like continentsDistribution and continentsSizes which can create just one big island but there is no "switch" which ensures that it is surrounded by sea from all the sides.
