Default Re: Dom3Minions RandomMaps (again)

Ive frequently considered creating a SemiRand group of maps for daily generation. In fact it was one of the reasons I started the SemiRand project (major Kudos to Ballbarian for taking it over and finishing it).

But every time I considered it, the province count was too low to be used that often or on maps of a decent size. So each time I ended up posting another request to the SemiRand threads for EVERYONE to design ONE province to add to the files.

Now (checking my present count) with every collection I can find for it my count is up to 390 provinces. Possibly enough so that a 10 or 20 percent scattering would be fairly different each time on fairly large maps. But I wish there was more variety. More cute or thematic "interesting" without being "look what I can make that can kick your SC" provinces.

ALSO since the subject has come up... SemiRand now includes pretender builds for the AI. Design god/magic/scales so that the random selections of the AI doesnt kill it in the first 3 turns before anyone even attacks it. And THAT part of SemiRand is now in need of more variety. We dont even have all the nations covered even once, much less enough variety to make it as useful as it should be.
