Using a Known World.
You can choose to play on a world you already know, rather than a random one. Click on
the small key next to the globe to bring up the Map Generation Key panel. Any word typed
in this panel functions as a seed for the map generator. This means if you type in the same
word for each new game, you will end up with exactly the same world. If you generate a
map you particularly like by clicking on the globe, enter the Map Generation Key panel
to find out the name of that world. You can then add this name to your list of favourite
worlds. You can find out the seed name for a map after you have started playing by
holding down the control key and clicking on the Zoom button at the top of the Terrain
Map toolbar. Below are listed some recommended words to enter into the panel.
These words were found to generate maps that provide a particularly fun game for
the recommended countries. When you enter the name of a world, it must be typed
exactly as written.

Generating a World.
As you enter the Map Room, the large globe on the stand is spinning to indicate that a
new world is being generated. When the world is complete, a map appears on the right
side of the Map Room screen. The map shows the political boundaries of the countries.
The selected Great Power is outlined in white. A list of the terrain found in this country
appears next to the map. If you prefer to play a different Great Power, click on that
country on the map. Great Powers appear in colour; the other countries are Minor
Nations. When you change countries, new terrain information appears. You can generate
a different world by clicking on the Map Room globe.

Using a Historical Europe.
Underneath the map are two oval buttons, which control whether the Old World is
randomly generated or not. By default, the button to the right is selected. This selection
means that both the Old World and the New World are generated randomly whenever
you click the large globe.

means that both the Old World and the New World are generated randomly whenever
you click the large globe.
If you click on the button to the left under the map, the Old World is no longer random.
Instead it will be a map of Western Europe depicting the Great Powers most involved in
colonial expansion in the Americas. You can generate more maps with this selection
as well. All the worlds created have the same historic Old World, but have randomly
created New Worlds.
