Thanks!

Map is mostly random. There might be some adjustments to influence how the map would be, but it's still mostly random.

So back to your question:
1 - You want to create a specific looking map? (this will be nearly impossible)
2 - You just want some new map to play on?

I was looking for ways of how we could generate or create our own maps. Looking at the Modding section, I saw a couple of people created their own maps and I was wondering how is this possible?

Is there an external link where we could create our own maps? That is the question... it would be cool if we could create our own maps if that's possible....

For random map: (I'm too lazy to type it all over again)

Thank you! My bad, I should've scrolled through the topics...

Looks a bit complicated... they should've made a simplified version of creating maps...

Not really complicated. Three main steps:

1 - Create your Scenarios folder.
2 - Download the vanilla scenarios and unzip them into your Scenarios folder.
3 - Open the scenario file with any text editor and edit the map seed. Save.

Now you just have to launch the game and look at the new (random) map. If it's not good, repeat step 3. If it is good, then enjoy.

Note:

- Changing the map seed will make any save with the old seed incompatible.
- There are six maps in Continental Dawn. They are independent from each other in term of map.
- Scenarios in your Scenarios folder are also independent from the vanilla scenarios.
