Default Re: RanGame (random game generator project)

I forgot the "empty province" thing requires adding a routing to decide if the definition of a province should start with a "#land" or a "#setland". Kindof fun playing with the differences there. With setland if you make someone the owner then they still have to fight the locals in the first round. That creates alot of sites all over the map where indepts might be already sieging a castle owned by an AI along with provinces that are free to take with no defenders

Also, if you add an "AI might own this" routine you can get strange results of starting the game and finding out that you dont yet own your own capital. Also a "must fight for it in the first round" situation. To fix it you have to add a #nostart for any province that you assign to an AI
