@thedog Would you consider randomizing starting setups a bit as well if it is possible for more different playing experiences?

@schulz
Fantasy & SciFi settings are well suited to random starting setups and for me, no two games play the same, I'm still playing my games, even played this week.Ideally you need a made up map/world so players dont have any preconceived ideas, but alternative timelines would work for any period including 20th century warfare.
The randomness of the whole map makes you look at each of your territories and evaluate it against its neighbours for its survivability later in the game.
Sometimes as a player you choose to just hold/delay a small area of the map to frustrate your enemies whilst you concentrate elsewhere.A very big advantage on this style of map is you don't have to balance the placement and number of units to make it fair to all sides, so you as a designer save loads of time.
You will also notice that over half the units are shared across most factions, this helps with unit balancing.
Unpublished I have the same unit set and playable;
Settlers: Greyhawk Wars
Settlers: War of the LanceI'm currently working on a future wars version with Jump Infantry, Hovercraft, Stealth planes, Cruise Missiles etc with random setup using the Fallen Empire map.
Schultz what are you considering?

@TheDog I would suggest having random but still relatively balanced starting setups for any map. It is easier for bigger maps since they are better at to tolerate bad dices, mistakes or unbalancedness.
I'am not even sure if it is possible but it would be great way having each playthrough very unique with this way.
Making this feature as optional might be another good idea.

@schulz
One way to do this is by having a second xml file with- randomStartDelegate and associated code
- List all the low value PUs eg 0-3 PU, so the random delegate does not pick them, assign them to a player with no AI, this bit is boring and time consuming, but vital.
- Detail the randomly placed units, especially Factories for the game start
- Depending on the era of the game, the AI needs help to buy some unit types like upgrades to cities and fortification so they should have predetermined purchases.

@thedog This looks really interesting. I'm a big fan of the another_world map, and I'm playing a game of that at the moment with some friends, and this gives me some of the same vibes.
Like another-world, yours looks a bit different from mainstream A&A style games though, and a bit daunting to get started with. For example starting a new game I begin as the Imperial player, but I have no idea who or where any of my allies or enemies are, or what I'm doing.
I'll see if I can find some time to get my head around it.

It should all be in the documentation, best to give it a read and in game use the tool tips. -
