Default Re: Indie Question

Its the reason that the SemiRandom program was started by me back in Dom2.
Now its Ballbarians project.

Players can design provinces. You can name it, choose the terrain, chose the recruitable type, the defender units, give them equipment, choose the magic sites and select which are hidden or already found. Since Blood Henge Druids were mentioned, you could design...

Thorny Meadows
druids recruitable
a magic site to recuit bloodhedge druids
guarded by druids with vine men etc etc
give the druids Sanguine Rods

anything else?

Anyway the idea is that everyone designs a few provinces, and some gods for the AI. The SemiRand program will take a map you give it, and randomly scatter these on the map. Usually you dont set it for 100 percent. I think 20 percent works well. That way you can run across a town of werewolves, a valley of dragons, a swamp of bog beasts or maybe hydras, a forest of centaurs and hoplites, a mountain of air mages, etc. Check it out.
Surely you can design at least one province and donate it to the project.
