Been playing the poke in the eye map, love it.
One thing I wish - mobs/pretenders were categorized. i.e. militia - mid infantry = lvl 0, cav and some specials = lvl 2, mages = lvl 3, nasty mobs = lvl 4, pretenders = lvl 5...or something similar depending on difficulty. Then have lvl 4s and 5s just be commanders, with the rest being troops. Make sense?

I'm waiting for Edi to complete its unit DB. With it I will be able to add many more options to my randomizer, and use appropriate units depending on the province type

Love the idea, love the randomness, love starting out with a free commander/stuff (I like it as an RPG as well, very commander concentrated - most of the fun for me). With that being said, its kind of silly when i start with a troop of horrors or a troop of melee pretenders  Or face them for that matter. I spent like 2 hours just re-creating games to see some combinations, some were super weak (mages w/o magic, some were unreal (20 free horrors/gatekeepers), and some just wierd (20 baphomats - immobile).
I tried Jack's tool once, and will be testing further. Is there a way to simulate the free commander/troops on yours Jack?

As dom3 works, if you start in a province where specific units/commanders have been added, you get them.
The "No start in edited provinces" option of my randomizer is there to prevent this to happen, in order to preserve some balance.
If you want sometimes to have additionnal units at the start of the game, just uncheck this option.
Of course if you start in a province with no units added it won't change anything, but you can also start with a mictlan Priest King and 5 Sun priest as units (perfect to start a blood economy when you start using "gift of reason" on them, it happened to me once)

Speaking of re-creating games - is there anyway to just "re-create game" with all the same settings? Or to have a standard settings file that you can choose? For instance, I hate starting in the midst of a map and will recreate till I get near an edge (my form of cheating), but while its still only a 2 minute process to start up a new game it gets old. Any thoughts?

You can use the official map editor, or my online map editor, to add the "nostart" attribute to provinces you don't want to start in.
It is also possible to specify a province as starting point, but my map editor doesn't has this feature yet, you have to edit the map file manually for now
