Default Dominions 3 Random Game Generator

http://hockeystory.com/dom3draw/index.php

Just a silly little script I composed to generate random Dominons 3 map/game settings.

The map settings are for the random map generator in the Game Tools menu.

Most of the values generated are on a "gaussian" curve � meaning, randomly they'll hover about the default. For instance, the "default" value for seapart is 30 so a 20 sided die is rolled 20 times and the number of times the value is less than or equal to 6 is tallied, then multiplied by 5, giving the setting. Similarly, for research speed, a three sided is rolled three times, and a the tally for the value one determines the setting (i.e., 0 for easy, 1 for standard, 2 for difficult, 3 for very difficult).

Some values are totally random � like the provinces per nation, which is a random mark between 10-20, and the choice of the three ages.

Makes for some interesting arrangements, given that most values will hover around default, but some will float a bit above/below. Granted, some combinations produced are implausible and unplayable (for instance, drawing 2 water nations on map that has no water provinces), but I've used it for quite a number of 1v1 skirmishes and it's taught me a bit about the game and the different nation strengths and weaknesses.
