rename the "Random" of the "Random" maps?

[abian]

I've always found the "Random" option for "Map Type" in the Match Setup a bit confusing (it could mean choosing randomly, with or without filtering criteria, among the manually generated maps).

I wonder if this could happen to more people and if you would consider another name better. Some names that come to mind:

• Procedural Map(s)
• Dynamic Map(s)
• Scripted Map(s)
• Algorithmic Map(s)
• Randomly Generated Map(s)
• Randomized Map(s)
• Auto-Generated Map(s)
• Generative Map(s)
• Ever-Changing Map(s)
• Unique Map(s)
• Infinite Map(s)
• Unrepeatable Map(s)
• Unpredictable Map(s)
• ...

(I don't have a clear preference, but maybe Auto-Generated?)

This is the best option.

But traditionally in these games, we understand what a random map is.

I think people new to the game don't understand but will figure it out quickly enough.

I like "Dyanamic" the best, but why not a tooltip that offers a minimal explanation? Dynamic or Random doesn't really say anything to a new player. Neither does "Skirmish". Having "Skirmish" as a map type is really pointless, imo.

A tooltip that offers a minimal explanation would be good, or just having the explanation appended in the right pane where "Map Type: Random/Skirmish" is displayed.
