Random Campaign Map Generator

[Destructikon]

I really do enjoy this game. Great job devs. Unfortunately I am going to stop playing as I like Single Player-Skirmish-Multiplayer Campaign. I have played all of the maps numerous times and my strategy for each map wins easily on insane. Please supply us with (or allow the community to) a random campaign map generator. In the interim random starting locations on the campaign map would be helpful. Thanks for reading.

From what I've been told, the tool Larian used to make the campaign maps is "the most user-unfriendly thing Larian has ever created."

I think it's not that easy to make campaign maps. In the beta, there was once a glitch with a campaign map where the values for country names, population, gold and research points were all misaligned by the same amount. I think the map is assembled in layers, not country-by-country.

I definitely agree with a random starting location option, though.

Do not underestimate the power of the community and its thousands of programmers. If Larian were to publish the file format definitions I think something would materialize.

Or perhaps the mapping limitations could be viewed as a major design flaw worthy of correction?

I believe this to be vital if this game is to have a long-term player base.

I'm pretty sure it was Sid Meier who said:

"No random map generator for any TBS == dismal failure"

maybe they should start adding a workshop just to get the modding going and then take it from there..
