So, did anyone turn up where we can have it generate random maps?

I didn't notice an option in the skirmish screen, and the only other thing map related is the campaign...

Hello Cutterjohn,

There is not a separate random map generator. There are 2 skirmishes wherein the maps randomly generate but the objectives remain the same. They are Capture the City of Larue and The Barren Wastelands of Brightagg. Hopefully, this clears things up :)

Can we ever expect total random map generator for the game?

No randoms after all? Sorry, its a pass then.

There are in fact maps that randomly generate their tiles.

you know that all we want to do is to randomly generate a map of a certain size, tweak it a bit per our liking, then lay our troops on one side, enemy troops on the other side, and fight to the death in a skirmish-type battle like in Civ, right?

Also, still no MP. Man. :<

I know :(. It's on the list I sent to the devs of "The community wants this, what can we do to make it happen?" list :).

The right list to add would be "The community wants this, let's make it happen?" Hanging there guys. :D

Not the random I had in mind. Thanks for answering, might still grab this.

Cheers, mate. :) I appreciate you not getting defensive about my suggestion.

While I'm sharing my vision of how to make the game better, aside from skirmishes with user-created map and multiplayer functionality, I'd like to see more than two sides to the battle. I think it would be fun to have, say, a 4-faction map with factions spawning on the north, south, west, and east sides of the map, all duking it out.
