Gandalf Parker was nice enough to set up this site:
http://www.techno-mage.com/~dominion/Dominions2/

Actually it would probably be more informative to send them to www.dom2minions.com now that I have some REAL web pages up. Sorry those took so long.

I really need to get back to the small, medium, large groupings like I had with Dom1. So far for Dom2 Im only generating the over-huge epic size.

Ok, I know most of those listed are either done by 3rd parties or can be done by yourself but how does this one fit in? Did you managed to make random generated maps produce random opponents as well?

If so I must congratulate you.

Yep. http://www.dom2minions.com/Opponents.shtml
There are map commands for designating AI players, and the alliance command no one seems to use. It works better to have a program you can tell to leave out who you want to play. But to make it available to all I had to generate a game for each nation which leaves that nation available. Re-randomized daily.

Are you opposed to giving out the script/program that builds the random maps? I imagine with some time and effort I could hack together a perl script to do the job, but if one already exists...

Not a problem. But its a BASIC program. YABasic actually (yet another basic) which I like because I can run the same code on my linux server and my windows machine. If you download yabasic you can run it. Or its just a text file so glance thru it to snag whatever is useful. It would probably perl-up nicely. http://www.dom2minions.com/~dominion/opponents.yab
I do alot of map making by program. Check them out at www.dom2minions.com

How does one go about adding music? Is the only way to replace the 3 falso.sw files, or can you add more on top of them?
