New Map: Faerun - The Forgotten Realms

Hmmm I dont know about random. If anyone has played some of my random maps you will quickly see the problem. I think my maps suffer most from this. Scattered castles owned by independents are way too nice for the player. I can take the province with a scout. Get instant view and watch of all the provinces around it. And I can safely tax it to death if its somewhere that the AI is likely to reach before me. And if I do get near one I can move troops thru that province without taking the castle. If I get pushed back I just retreat and leave the AI trying to seige.

I was reffering to random as randomly assigned to either patrol or defense. Not randomly placing castles or anything else. That way some provinces will be pattroled by independents and some wont, it will be on player to find out which.

Edit: stupid typo.
