About the random map generator.

zoog, actually, it's not that simple to do! Especially

somehow force it to take hives, cons, or utopias

It's practically impossible to force the AI to attack someone or take a protected object. :(
I was thinking about another option: create a map in the editor, save it, bring it to a normal state manually, and then play. But this option doesn't suit most players because people aren't playing with "fixes" right now. It's a pity: maps made or corrected by hand are much "more straightforward" than what the generator produces now!
