I ran into the same problem. I have a couple of maps there where I rewrite the .map file just to randomize much of it. It definately adds much to replay.
Since so much of it can be done by assigning a number ts not really that hard to whip out something that will choose a random number for the commander with random troops in random provinces. It can be done in basic, or word, or excell, or whatever.
I was going to offer a few up as executables but there never seemed to be much interest.
