Default Maps screwed up since 3.14

Since patch 3.14 I have the strange problem that every second random map I start is screwed up. That means, the positions of the region icons doesn't fit to the map regions. I've never seen that until patch 3.14 came up. Am I the only one who is having that problem?

They've been screwed up all along. The key point is "every second game". Make only one random map per session.

Or restart Dominions once the bug occurs. The game gets confused about the old map and the new map if the game you created the map for has the same name as the previous one, or if the maps share the same name, or something similar. It should go away by simply restarting.

I have always had this problem. I have just (reluctantly)accepted it. Saving the game, quitting to desktop, and restarting always results in the correct map configuration appearing.
There are multiple threads re topic, and no matter which sequence you choose to use, a return to desktop is involved.

Two easy solutions, as far as I know: Use different names for the maps every time, or create them from the command line.

I see! I indeed used the same name all over again. I guess that's the difference to my games in Dom 3.11 and before where I always deleted my last games or used another name.

However, if saving and restarting corrects the map layout, I guess I can live with it.
