Every other game I've played that has a random map generator takes split-seconds to generate one. Why is this game so different that it requires minutes?
That's the difference between colouring 2,560,000 pixels and "colouring" 65,536 tiles.
Also, considering how Dominions maps use up to 32bit coloring, compared to maybe 200 different tiles in the richer games, that's 4,294,967,296 * 2,560,000 = 10995116277760000 different options compared to 256 * 65,536 = 16777216 with other games
