Hi Gandalf

Thanks for your swift reply - I played around with it for a bit and i seems that if I keep below a total of around 90% it looks fine with these sizes
- and maybe it is true that memory could be an issue, though i've had a look at consumption and RanDom uses about 560.000KB at peak which is alot but I have 2 GB on this machine so it should not be a problem - what i found out also is that the mess-up is more significant if I minimize the program while generating...
Im not sure - but i managed to make a nice looking map after a couple of hours

I wouldn't be amazed if there are limits to the number of sprites that are drawn during random map generation.

You're crazy. The random map generator is known to be quite inefficient in places, I hope somebody comes up with something better soon. Would already help if you could decouple the separate phases from each other, but I guess that isn't really possible.
