Map: Poke in the Eye

Cool.
Have you created a province for it yet?
Come on, there has to be some magic site or unit that has sparked an idea.

It doesnt have to be as hard-to-kill as the ones you mention. We need some variety in it or it wont serve its purpose.

I have given it a little bit of thought, unfortunately my mind keeps turning to ultra powerful provinces. I really should spend a few hours one day seeing if there aren't some 'cute' ideas, maybe something that will make a player notice they passed through.

That is the problem with the less than powerful provinces I find with SemiRandom. When playing SP and marauding about the map with an uber army, I often do not notice the effect of the SemiRandom provinces other than occasionally getting a magic item. It's the ones that stop me cold, that give me a fight, that I notice and that I most like.

Maybe a configuration setting could be included with SemiRandom that gives the player a choice as to the average power levels of the provinces when they are generating the map file. This way me providing a half dozen powerhouse provinces would not upset the current ratio (not that a half dozen is really that significant).

(Actually I just now made some notes for a not quite 'power house' province that a player would definitely notice if they stumbled through it.)

If you search for semirand there are a number of threads where people gave ideas, but the ideas were never written up fully and included in the program.

If we could get every one of the people on these forums to do ONE province we would be setup sweet.
