Is there really randomness ? I found that some nations have often initiative : I [almost] always moved first with TC against Yomi, Argartha and so on. BTW, I [almost] moved last with Agartha. Yomi armies seem to often gain initiative against Marverni, less often against Hellheim (a solo game in progress). I guess this is related to the speed of your army, but there may be some other factors to compute.
