As a player it already has - we were testing it before release for a couple
of months (comparing it with the hand created map until now we don't do the
map by hand any more). The outcome for us has been more intricate
planning, more fun and greater understanding and appreciation of the
game. As with many changes not everything will meet with everyone's
approval here I can be pretty sure of that, but I hope that once we release
it then players will find their game improved.
