Warlords: Map Generator creating the same map!

[Wodan]

Haven't noticed this except on custom games. To reproduce:
-- start a custom game. Pick whatever setting you like.
-- start the game.
-- use worldbuilder to view the map
-- go back to main menu
-- repeat with exact same settings

The map will be identical. Changing leader with same settings otherwise still results in identical map, you just start at a different position on the world.

My expectation is that when you start a new game, the random map generator should create a world that is randomized from previous play.

Note: This occurs even with option "new random number generator on reload" selected.

We've had the issue with identical maps previous to patch 1.52 in vanilla Civ as well.
If your observation can be confirmed by other WL-players, we seem to have an issue like the submarine-bug in C3C, which was successfully re-invented with one of the latest patches.

Well it should be easy to duplicate, if anyone cares to spend 5 minutes. Bueller? Bueller?

I tested it and got a different map the 2nd time... sry

i have the same problem here as well
starting a game then go back to main menu and start again with same settings results in the same map

only choosing regenerate map in editor helps in SP mode - but you cannot do that in MP - thats not good if you want to restart with a different map
