Hey guys, well I've been busy fooling around with programming and such, and have decided to try my hand at game programming... my idea came about after learning basic 2d drawing in XNA, which is directx, used in pretty much every xbox and windows game available... that and that i've been playing a lot of old games lately, one of which is called Masters of Magic... which is very much like civilization, but without tech, and with a combat sim resembling might and magic heros...

Talking with my friends about how much fun this game was, made me think about creating one myself, and so i've started...

The thing i need help on tho, and why its actually posted at this site, is how to build a tile based map, randomly, without it becoming some wierd and unrealistic mess?

I'll try to post any ideas i come up with, but if anyone has any good ideas on how to programatically create a random map, let me know!
