Revision as of 04:51, 1 April 2012
Several codes have been recorded on various websites for selecting a particular "random" (but in these cases fixed) map in Imperialism. They involve clicking the globe on the second (map room) screen while pressing a "Control" key. You then type in a replacement for the expression in the popup "map key" window to get a map with a specific characteristic.
Far-from-exhaustive list
Please record more here when you find a map that looks interesting: do the "Ctrl+Click" when the map appears, and the key for it will be visible: write it down then check out the available GPs, noting which have advantages or disadvantages (and note it briefly here with a link to its own detailed page, as, for example, Fidmech).
- (Some of these appear also on a webpage headed "Imperialism II"; need checking to see which work on Imp1 or on both.)

| 71264 | Green GP has resource advantage |

| bushwhacker | Any GP: lots and lots of timber (from Neoseeker) |
| Dune | Mostly desert and tundra (from Neoseeker); pale blue shares a continent with seven MNs but has no grain farm and not many bare plains and only one fruit, with the nearest grain farm in Manx to the east; green is not much better but can build a capital with a grain farm and shares a continent with five MNs |
| Everglades | Lots of swamps. (This from splashinpool on zetaboards.) |

| frogcity | Green GP has lots of iron and even more scrub forest and quite a bit of coal with some gems, but coal and gems are not accessible till railroads can go through hills (i.e. till you get Compound Steam Engine in about 1837), so prepare to invade a minor nation! |
