Shattered and Random Worlds: Start your game on a fictional map of Europe as a small realm fighting for space, or on a random map with historical analogues for the great kingdoms of yore.
What exactly does this mean? Are they really implementing a whole random map generator into CK2? Or does "random map" mean that it will consist of random nationstates and not random landmasses? What do you guys think?

When Conquest of Paradise was released with the feature of a randomly generated new world the results were rather disappointing. And considering CK2 is an older game than EUIV I'm kinda doubtful about the implementation of such a feature. But I guess we'll have to see and judge for ourselves when it comes out.

I read the first as the “broken realms” type map made popular in mods, where everyone starts as an independent 1 county count on the standard map.

The second is more involved, with culture and religion shuffled up and random dukes, kings and emperors already ruling over larger realms at game start. But still it would all be on the same map of Europe we play on now.

I see, that's what I thought, although the description was a bit confusing. It did seem rather unlikely that they would implement such a major change so late in the game's development.

Unfortunately it's only random realms.

I would love to see random map and custom 'nations' too but I'm sure that's a lot more work.

CK2 Generator did that but unfortunately it hasn't worked for about the last year or so. I REALLY hope that PDX has asked these guys if they can include this work in the upcoming random map generator !

I'm aware and it's really unfortunate.

Wait is it properly functioning? I thought he was missing a file that was removed from the base game a while back.
Yemmlie posted the source code on the reddit a few months ago (I think after being given access to the file(?)) and a user named 252afh has updated it for 2.8.3. I̶t̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶ ̶o̶n̶l̶y̶ ̶g̶e̶n̶e̶r̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶u̶p̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶y̶e̶a̶r̶ ̶4̶0̶0̶ ̶l̶a̶s̶t̶ ̶I̶ ̶c̶h̶e̶c̶k̶e̶d̶, but the custom map generation and history editing all seemed to be fully functional and its generated worlds are certainly playable.

EDIT: The latest version can generate past the year 400.
