Random seed option for initial map generation?

Post by JoeOh »

(I tried to search for this topic but I may have missed it. If this has already been discussed then link me to the thread.)

Whenever a map is first created you have the options of selecting the random amounts of ore, trees, and enemy bases and what not. But I was wondering if there could be a random seed number option could be added to create the same map for yourself or others to play on? Of course changing the ore/tree/enemy's settings would affect the outcome of the map even if the same random number seed was used as before.

BTW, just got this game a few days ago after playing the demo.....and of course I'm INSTANTLY hooked. I'm one of you all now ;) All Hail The Developers!

The seed is more or less planned, but a bit more than just a plain seed, as it will also configure all the map generation fields, to be able to play the same map completely.

Not certain when it is planned for though, but the devs already told us about this.
