Random Map Generator?

[MJDPlayer]

Hi There, Can someone please tell me if there is a random map generator for skirmish mode? There are some wonderfully crafted maps in the game already, I was just curious.

Thank you.

No random map generator. You can create your own maps though in a map editor.

Thanks for the reply. I would love to see something like this one day. I have noticed that in my collection of strategy games (RTS and turn based) I seem to go back more often to the ones that offer some sort of random skirmish map mode. All the best.

I'm not expecting a random map generator to ever appear for this game, but I agree with the sentiment. I get bored with the same maps after a while so I'm looking forward to in-game/workshop map sharing, should it come at some point.

You can make some maps yourself Ticktoc :P

Well, I did take a look at the map maker many moons ago. Unfortuneatly it was pretty buggy and still is to this day apparently. You can learn them and work around them but I'm not THAT keen :)

A while back I had the impression some people had made loads of maps, but you still need that way to share them between all in a convenient manner.

Last time I made maps and scenarios was with WarCraft 2. Great game. I shall always remember its map editor as I loved setting up triggers and events and getting siblings to play through the map. It was also where/when I learned the word/colour "teal". Some words you just absorb without realising it, others you know exactly when you learnd them. Odd perhaps but its a nice memory for me, and I think of those times whenever I come across the word or colour.

It's been fairly stable for me, especially compared to other people, I guess I'm just lucky with it.

I think Escalation has a lot of maps and there's a good bit of variety in them. That and no workshop are probably the main reasons why there's a small amount of community created maps.

When the air transports come, it'll open up some new options for map making and so will naval (if it happens).

i have like 15 new maps that i made a while ago, but yes its stil very buddy... i hope stardock will fix that soon, so i can create hundreds more and of course to create the workshop for ashes.
