I was referring to saved Random Maps - not saved games played on a random map.
I saved a random map and did not click 'use this map'. I exited and rentered the random map generator, tried to load the map. The loaded map was the same as the map I saved, minus the urban areas.
Okay, I realised the checkbox was off. So I put the checkbox on and tried to load the map again - same problem.
When loading a random map it seems to generate the map from scratch, yet it still produces the same map, so I assume that a saved random map saves the seeding information used for generation, rather than saving a standard map file (I assume a saved random map cannot be opened in FA2).

For a single player observer mode, wouldn't it be simpler to just allow a person in skirmish to choose to be an observer, rather than creating a whole new player slot? Adding new player slots is an admirable goal, but ultimately not neccessary or worth the potential hard work and bugs.

Ever wondered what the hell is going on?
