Ultimate random game

[AnyKeyz]

Map : Fractal
Random weather, sea level, random civ

Can it gets more random than that ?

I mean Fractal maps are made by 'fractal calculation' (dah), mainly mandela types, and I am never getting Archipelago maps, often 5 civs on one continent and 2 on another one.

What is the most random game you can generate ?

Random Map Type?

Random Era, Random Personalities.

 

[Sir Jaref]

Shuffle map instead of fractal

 

[cabert]

I don't remember exactly, but I think there is random size, too.

BTS will open up some randomness. Random leader with random/different civ

Advanced starts might allow random era.

That would be a lot of surprises.

The good thing about advanced starts is to remove the random factor of the early game .
If you want a random game, use someone else's save in the trash game format

Random Map Type?

I don't have this option (in the main screen) Must be in advanced screen.

in warlords there is a shuffle map

 

[AnyKeyz]

I do have Shuffle, but not Random

 

[Maestro_Innit]

What's the Shuffle map do?

 

[cabert]

I do have Shuffle, but not Random

well, if you shuffle the maps, you get a random one, don't you?

Random, random, random..
Shuffle is not as "random" as Fractal is.

certainly it is, since you can end up with a fractal map

 

[Ecofarm]

I think what he means is that fractal can generate a map with islands, and archipelago, AND 2 continants, etc. While shuffle will only generate islands, or continants, or snake-like, OR pangea.

 

[AnyKeyz]

But for some reason, Fractal maps ends up to look very familiar (played over 100 fractal games). But I love the fact that ressources are very random, even if Aluminium sometimes can't be found anywhere, because of the time period.

What I originally meant is that in Civ 3, you have this option to set everything random. By random, I mean totally random

 

[lilnev]

I read on one of these forums that Shuffle chooses one of: Archipelago, continents, pangaea, or fractal.

Most of what I play is large shuffle, random climate, random sea level, random civs/leaders (including me). But always ancient era, and I don't check Random Personalities.

Note that you can check the climate and sea level from the "Settings" screen, but have to figure out the map as you go along.

peace,

tilted axis also chooses from several random map types
