Troop spawning divided on one map; very annoying.

[Big J Money]

There is one battle map that has been appearing a lot lately (it appears when I'm in the grasslands) where my troops and I spawn half on top of a cliff, with the other half at the bottom in a river. It would be much appreciated if this were changed. It is extremely hard either getting one half of my troops up the cliff, or the other half down it, and the enemy always manages to get to my scattered troops and pick them off one by one before I can do this.

I don't know any other way to describe this map other than the one with the river where you spawn near the cliff that overlooks it. A very inconvenient spawn point.

You can always describe it with a screenshot...

The maps are randomly generated - you never get the same one twice

I have found that not to be true. Select a river pirate party. As your guy is about to initiate the battle with them save your game. Start the battle, look at the map.

Next, win the battle or Ctrl-Alt-Del it. Load your game and do nothing, just let your guy run into the river pirates. It is the exact same map.

also, if you are up against a large party, if you attack, fight one round, then leave battle, then attack again right away.. it will be on the same map, every time
also, battles seem to consist of only three maps, it just rotates every round.
this is as of .711 anyway, playing Last Days i had a lot of time to watch the map tearing down those 200 man Hosts of Gondor

I'm certain the maps aren't random. Many props to the map designer for making them feel natural and random, though. Yeah, next time this happens, I will get a screeny, although it's hard to get a screenshot of your troops being divided by a cliff. The point is that you can't even see half your troops upon starting the battle.
