@Nakomus:
Well, if you take a look at some more of my stuff which is semi popular (
www.dom2minions.com) you might get an idea as to how your gathering info from the map file will allow a program to do what I do, but better.
Such as.... I randomly scatter castles and monsters across the map. The result is land castles in water, water castles on land. Same with monsters which drown as soon as you attack the province.
If you paired your program gathering info about a map, with one which maintains the same info for castles, natives, monsters, sites, pre-made interesting provinces, province names based on terrain (woods, water, mountain, island, swamp).... then doing a BETTER random program might be very interesting.
