Re: Random Maps
Yes, much of it is re-randomized with each game. The only things that the map generator locks in are the map image, the neighbors you can move to, and the terrains (forest, mountain, swamp, etc).
It re-randomizes with each play where the players start, the population types you can find in each province, the defenders, the magic sites.
Of course if you WANT to, there are commands to lock those things down on a map. Specifically designing those things for a map can make it more interesting but would tend to lower the replayablity.
(the Semi-Random program being developed by players grants the best of both. Not so completely random, but can be re-randomized)
