[request for help] unique provinces ideas

[Jack_Trowell]

Yes exactly, you go to http://dominions.realites.org/map_randomizer/ , upload your map file, change the options if needed, and submit.
The script will then output a cleaned and modified map file, with some provinces randomly modified, eitheir by adding random commanders and units, with the occasionnal lab or fort, or by using a predefined province from the list available.

If you uncheck all options, the script will only check the map file syntax and output a cleaned version, adding comments about provinces terrains types and neighbours but no other change, so this can also be usefull to check a freshly edited map file for syntax errors.

The other tool is a map editor, it is functionnal and almost complete (except for some specific settings such as victory points), but currently only works with a set of predefined maps (the program doesn't allows yet to upload your own map files), and there isn't currently much info on units/sites except for their names (this project was started before Edi made his wonderful DB available).

I had stopped working on both projects a long time ago after a hard drive failure, but I have since installed a new server and restored both applications from my backups.

With the new dom3 patch my motivation have somewhat came back and I might start working again, depending on my free time.

Meanwhile, if you have provinces ideas for the randomizer (see http://dominions.realites.org/map_ra...cial_provinces for current list), of if you want a specific map to be added to the editor I am open to suggestions.
