Default Re: Please Help With Random Maps

It very nicely puts it into the savedgame directory for that game. That allows it to be cleaned up with the game and not clutter up your maps view when you start another game.

By the way, did you know that you can set variables for the random map creation?
I like to set the ground color to green (I dont really like snowy maps or maps where plains is dead-brown).
I also set water from default 30% to 20%
and Mountains from default 20% to 50% because I like lots of choke-points

You can change the defaults (and other game defaults) with the command switches. In Windows you just add them to the call on the EXE in your shortcut (or make a new shortcut with different switches for each variation you like to play)
