Random map generation

[317070]

Right now, the major thing limiting the replayability of the game, is the fixed map (and the semi-fixed starting positions).

Could we do random map generation? (Like Catan) Or maybe random starting positions? (Like Risk)

Right now, I think the game would be better, if there was some kind of randomization which makes every new game more interesting, especially if random generated maps sometimes requires different strategies to win.

I feel that, now the base mechanics seem to be fleshed out and work nicely, we should move to experiment with the meta-game aspects.

Idea by 37070: Put 1 unit of one of the players on every region

Consensus:

New scenario:

• Randomly distribute the default strategic regions (1 per player)
• Neutral units on the other strategic regions
• Randomly distribute the other regions (max 4 per player)
• No additional neutral units

Note: The above would only be a separate senario, to be test played
