    Obviously, a map generator for kag (If it were to work well enough) would add lots of variety to gameplay, and I am sure that if one could just be made magically to work, we would all support it.
    Unfortunately, map generators have quite a few problems, namely;

    Unfair advantages for each team

    Map could generate broken

    Map would generate slowly

    Not much I could see being done about that last one, but the first two could be fixed pretty easily.
    First off, the generator makes half of a map, and then, makes a symmetrical copy on the other side.

    Then, to make it a bit more interesting, small-moderate changes are made all across the two symmetrical halves.
    Things like trees, valleys, bumps, tunnels, little stone buildings, mines, fauna, ect, ect.

    Then to prevent the maps from breaking, it would only add a bit of mossy stone below the flag, and let players vote on whether or not to keep this map, or generate another.

    Really a rough outline for an idea, but I'm sure you get what I am saying.

    Tell me what you think.
    (Why^ I^ am^ wrong^)

    We already have generators fyi. KAG/Base/Maps/test.kaggen.cfg is currently available for use. It's still missing a few things, but those things are planned to be added later. It's what's used for sandbox and as you can see, if you run sandbox by default, it creates a different but still similar map every time.
     
  3. fyi, OP, generated maps in KAG are always god fucking awful

    There is already a WIP one, KAGgen as Kouji said ( Post #2 ), developed by the game developers themselves.
    It will be improved, in future updates I guess.
