Whats the 1.5 beta status for random new world?

I was thinking about picking up CoP. I read that the random map generator wasn't that good but the posts are for 1.4. What is the current status for the random new world map? Is it decent now? I am looking forward to the 7 cities of gold feel. Thanks!

Well it's random..sometimes you get amazing looking new worlds and other times you get random crazy looking new worlds. It's the nature of randomness. I wouldn't play an exploration game without it personally but everyone has their own opinions on it I suppose. They tweaked something to do with it in 1.5, can't recall what it was though. It might have been to do with loading saves but not entirely sure off hand.

It's awful and it's almost certainly going to stay that way, because any changes to the underlying algorithm would probably break save game compatibility.
