That's insanely intuitive if it really does what it seems to. This would be an interesting way for new people to get into mapping, or speed things up for mappers. Nice!

Bumping because I remembered this, wanted to updated it, and then did.

Update 2.7

-- Reworded a number of gimmicks to be shorter
-- Removed the "Too many rivers, help" gimmick
-- Removed the "Fakeout" gimmick
-- Removed the "bonus points if you make it fun" condition from the "medieval mode enabled" gimmick
-- Added 12 new gimmicks


Since it's been about a year since anyone's touched this thread, I wanted to remind everyone that I'm still taking suggestions for new gimmicks. If you want to check to see if your idea has already been added, check the code here.

I want to eventually move this generator off of Orteil's RandomGen and on to it's own site, time and motivation permitting, so here's hoping I can do that.

I don't claim that this generator only generates 100% original ideas. There's only so many variables in the code, it's bound to spit out something that already exists at some point.

That's why I keep asking people to suggest new gimmicks and gamemodes to add to the code.

Some of you may have already seen this, but I wanted to share it on this thread as well.

Last month, OpenAI opened up their text-generating API, GPT-3, to the general public. I fed it some of the results from this generator, and asked it to come up with more ideas in a similar format. After about half an hour of generating list after list, and trimming out the results I didn't like, here's what the AI gave me!

You might see some of these results be added to the idea generator!
