Random Map Generator?

Post by Joesnuffy »

My brother in law and I love playing the game but have been looking for a possible 3rd party random scenario generator. Ideally something that generates the scz file to import into the game. I couldn't seem to find anything for it but wanted to check here before I started working on it. Thanks!

In the early years of this game, there was talk about a Skirmish Mode which I believe would have generated random maps. To this day, there is this residual empty folder in My Games/OOB as evidence:

But unfortunately, it never came to fruition. Now, I don't play Multiplayer, so I am not 100% sure in that case, but I believe even in that mode there is no random map generator; I see custom map designs all the time for two or more players and I think those have to be used in Multiplayer mode.

Speaking of which, there are so many Single and Multiplayer scenarios out there to choose from, as I am sure you have noticed. Whether you play them "as is" or you "clear the decks" and just use the maps, it's almost like random selection.
