Default Re: request for MAP testing

New map idea for insane-size since I havent heard much on the other two.

Mazes and Monsters:
450 land and 50 water standard random created map from the DomMap program. Yet Another Basic program which will re-randomize the .map file each day on my site. The monsters will be my standard routine to add small Groups of surprise units all over the map.

The mazes part will be a new routine to randomly remove neighbor lines. Random but Im figuring in the area of about every 5th one to start with. I will tweak the routine but the goal is to create a surprising bottlenecks and chokepoints in the file. Hopefully avoiding too many that are so locked out that they cant be reached without transport spells late in the game.

Im debating also adding random neighbor commands which will do far connections ending up with a map that resembles the old Chutes and Ladders game. Maybe that will be another project later.
