I dont know how many looked at things like the GoAround

This is definetly a different kindof game for Dom 1. There are places on the map that
you will HAVE to go around. And you have a definate advantage in that area
over the stupid AI so feel free to crank up their settings. It was generated with the dommap program
http://www.ont.com/~keldon/dommap.html (thanks Keldon) The .map file was modified with my program. Sorry, no executable on that yet although there is a neat java utility at

ANYWAY.... Im thinking about adding another Category to that site for a daily creation. A Randomz map. Well Id actually be better off probably making it 3 for S/M/L. Ive still never found anything I liked for compiling my source code for a randomizer (write me as Gandalf on techno-mage if you want to discuss that).
The way I picture it is having randomzs.zip with a small map TGA and MAP. Same for medium and large maps. The routine would regenerate the randomized MAP file and re-zip the file each day. That much I could do in a day if I just chose a half-decent random generated TGA to use.
Im not sure tho whether to work at adding a random name generator for each of the provinces? Or getting the routine to accept a fresh randomly generated TGA each day. Im kindof getting back into this for preparation of Dom 2 with its new map features.
Comments? Maybe this could have been a poll...
1) Good idea and I want names
2) good idea and I want fresh maps
3) sounds ok, I might take a look at it
4) dont waste your time you are the only one interested in wildly randomized games where the independents kick everyones tail
