Well, it's as I thought then... Inny, thanks for the random function, will try it out as soon as I have time!
Lafolie, I think that sharing files is to much hassle for many players. The seed function in games like Minecraft is, imo, the best way to share maps. No network needed, no uploads, no downloads... just a seed. Since I don't have any need to rush the game I see no reason not to implement seed-based maps.
As for the map-stuff... Thanks for the links. I have a kind of odd approach that I'm going to try out, but the references will most certainly help.
Also... I'm getting married in 3 days from now, so the updates until that may be a bit sparse
