Gandalf - there are commands for changing the starting commander and the starting scout. Scout could be rather easily replaced, and while starting with a scout is good, getting something unique instead would still be a bonus.

Another starting commander cant be added? That would be best.

What Im picturing is something like a "surprise heroes" mod for solo play, and a program that someone can click on which rewrites the mod with new surprise heroes. Rather like my chaotic maps being redone each day.

You can't add another commander with a .dm file, no. Just startcommander and the bonus 'scout'. But overwriting the scout wouldn't be a big deal - for most of the nations it really is some cruddy scout.

Jack has an online randomizer I use pretty frequently, although he hasn't worked on it for awhile.

I requested a feature to randomize starting provinces (random commander, random units, occasionally random items) and since we both liked to play that way he put it in. It works moderately well, although I think its tied into start/specstart commands so it depends on the .map file. Probably wouldn't be too difficult to modify it to be a bit more thematic or use a smaller unit ID pool.

Pretty cool, sometimes you start with a random myrmiddion with 10 chaff and sometimes (once) with a lord of hell and 10 succubi troops (no abilities). The AI gets the same benefit, although I'll usually restart till I get something good and have no idea what they get Unfortunately never played the lord of hell one, terrible position.

I think its at http://dominions.realites.org/

The other randomizer is Semi_Rand by Ballbarian. Its one that you can download to your machine, and create additional files for.

I might eventually incorporate it into downloadable maps off my server. But his windows version will need abit of work to run on linux.
