Default Re: NI Indies Mod Pack - Version 0.9

Basically SemiRand reads a map, and assigns special provinces to it. It can "see" if a province is woods, or waste land, or water and assign provinces that match. It can also see things like coast, island, lake, valley, etc. Each of the special provinces is a separate little text file that gets appended to the map with the appropriate changes for province number. So a province "design" can include any map things like setting the name, population, guardians, magic sites, etc. The more designed provinces we can get for it, the better the maps become.

The hard part seems to be to get people to turn in creative province ideas. Particularly helpful if they are already in map-command form. Since you seem to be doing so many of those I just thought Id try and spark your interest in it. If we could just get every player to turn in just one province we would be setup fantastically.
