Try Syria vs. Israel in the editor set to desert.

When the map appears use the = key to generate different versions and see if there are ones there that suit your purposes. If you want fewer hills try Egypt vs. Israel

Once your tried that a few times press "," comma, The enter 500 to get to the generator. Now you can fine tune the map. Try different hill heights and etc. You will occasionally see the red earth and yellow sand appear as well as the red sand terrain. Keep clicking until you get what you want

NOTE: With desert maps increasing "mud" will give you more arid earth. ( Try 100 to start then move up ) different maps will give different effects when this is tried so experiment. There are a HUGE number of possiblities available in a generated map with the tools we have included and the map editor in the CD version allows you to cut and paste map sections.
