Hi all, my idea is for some buttons to be added to the world map colony site selection screen, that would allow the computer to randomly select the starting locale.

Other options would be for the player to select the terrain type and have the location within that terrain be random.

Also, it would be nice to have an additional property for the world map, called "faction population density" which would effect how frequently factions interact (positively or negatively) with the colony. For instance, if the colony starts far away from other factions, they would get their slower and with fewer ambassadors and less frequently. On the flip side, trade with them would be assisted or penalized by near or far distance.

I expect that soon we will be able to recruit visitors without hurting them first, as well as do "quests" to influence or get favors from other factions. Distance should affect that as well.
