OK one of my toys has been put up at
www.techno-mage.com/~dominion/
The new map is called BlindLuck so there is a BlindLuck.tga and a BlindLuck.map for you to download (right-click, save it to your dominions directory). This is an EXTREME random map. Just about everything that can be randomized, has been. No checks and balances so you can find yourself starting without your home province, or without your pretender. If that happens just start a new game with the same map.
There is also the BlindLuck.yab file there. You dont need that. Its the basic program that generates a new BlindLuck.map when I double-click it on my machine. Its written in YABasic (yet another basic) which is free and has Versions for most systems which is why I like it. If you want to load yabasic on your machine and use this, feel free. If someone wants to convert it into some other language, feel free. Its a plain text file so if you are just curious about such things and maybe arent even a programmer, feel free to read it to see if you can follow its twisty turny logic. Im willing to answer questions.
ALSO if there is interest I could add the BlindLuck.yab program to the daily morning routine on that site so that a completely new .map file is run fresh every morning for download to play using the same tga.
