For a week I was playing(attempting to play at least) a medium sized, one continent map. There did not seem to be random map generation, just the same map repeated. With Beta-3A I've been trying multiple continents. It also seems to be the same map. Are we limited to one map per land type with only resource/goodie hut random generation? Also the last multi-cotinent map I tried had some fairly powerful heroes/champions around my sovereign at turn one. For example, one had 27attack, 0 defense, 3 movement, and 15 hps. Another had 48 attack, 3 defense, 5 movememnt, and 13 hitpoints. There was also a group of adventurers, some higher lvl that only cost...I think it was either 180 or 360g. One of them had around 30 attack. On the medium one continent map the hireable heroes around have one basic ability and something like 2 attack 0 defense and there were rarely even one of them at my starting location(besides the one provided freely).

As well the medium map with multiple continents likes covering the screen with diffuse spots of colour(more often then single continent) after entering the tech research/magic research/diplomacy/etc. window. The picture failed to save to my clipboard for some reason, appologies.
