Can a random skirmish map be loaded and edited for scenario?

Instead of creating an entire map from scratch it would be nice to use the skirmish settings to create a map and then edit it from there, placing the forces I'd like to be involved in it. Is this possible? Or possible within the scenario editor? Thanks!

Yes - the random map plugin for the editor uses the same scripted logic as the skirmish map generation
Just click the plugins button, then choose the random map plugin, and the UI will appear onscreen allowing you to generate as many maps as you like until you are happy with it
Cheers

Can you do this in both BA1 and BA2? Is it ok to install both BA1 & BA2 in the same computer? Can I then use the editor in BA2 and use units from BA1? (I assume the Editor in BA2 is bettter than BA1) Thanks

The games cannot be used interchangably - skirmish maps from BA2 cannot be loaded into BA1. You can definitely install them both to one machine, but they are not inter-related.

I cannot find the plugin button in BA1. Is there an update file that I can download and install it? thanks

The list is accessed via the pliers/hammer button in the editor.

What I meant to say is that I can find the pliers/hammer button in BA1 but There is no Random map plugin....

You are correct - there is no random map plugin for BA1 - I was getting confused between the versions.
