Re: random map generator (was: AlpineClimate version 0.2 released)

Well, the best way to have nice map is to create it only with help of 
generator... I have made one map with few mountains and lowlands or small 
highlands between, with twou seas (or great leakes) on two sides connected 
with one river with other rivers (branches) and with cities and villages 
connected with roads or highways (two roads). I am going to make some other, 
especially with more realistic rivers. But I like the possibility to make 
ship routes from one side of map to another thru rivers.
Unfortunately my game played almost to the 21st century is was damaged or 
whatever. And the game crashed everytime after few seconds from the last 
save. That is why I am not playing TTD almost a year now.
But I am looking forward to trams...!

Sorry for a bit of off topic:-).
But the existence of TTDPatch is very great for me. TTD is still my 
favourite building strategy.
