Hello,

I like to tell, that there is an excellent map generator, build for settlers 2.

It works under windows, (unfortunately I myself use Ubuntu) and creates wonderful maps.

The only disadvantage is, that after the map is created, you have to load the map into the widelands editor, to place the players. That was not neccessary for settlers 2, but for widelands you have to do it that way.

The program nowadays is free to download at http://jh-isch.de/s2/downloads/lsgr_27.zip

Maybe, someone can rebuild it so you can also use it on Ubuntu.

with regards, Flip

Hi, I always used the editor from settlers 2, until i discovered this program.

The disadvantage of the editor in settlers as well as in widelands is, that you always know what you can expect. You know were everything is, because you made the maps yourself.

With a program like this, you do not know were al the stuff is.

Yes, widelands generates great maps, but after the map is created, i have to place all the resources myself. So if I like to play that map, I exactly know where the resources are.

If you make maps for other people, there is nothing wrong with it. If you make maps for yourself, then it is not so exiting.

If this feature was added to the map generator of widelands, that would be better of course.

Unfortunately I'm not a programmer.

what we really need is random map generation that noone gets to look at before playing
