Just one question though. You aren't specifing here whether you are doing this generation in the map editor or within the game itself. If it's in the map editor there are a couple bugs you need to know about that will affect the results.
1. Map editor generated maps will have ruins regardless of if you tell it not to.
2. The map editor doesn't randomize very well.

If there are no requests for a special mod (Junkyard, or Balance, for example), I use the standard 1.84 game to create a map. Then I save it. Then I edit it. When I create the game, I retrieve it. I turn off ruins before I create the map. I click over and over looking for the "right" map size and "interesting" looks.
