Hi, well my question is how do I get more resources on the map or is it completely random? And what is Random Seed in the top when you do New Game? Thank you~

Are you playing a game or creating a map?  If you are playing a game they are completely random.  Keep in mind that some resources only appear after you research the appropriate tech.  If there is a resource you want but don't have, you either have to trade or fight for it.

If you are setting up a game to start to play, there is no option that will increase resource density.  If you create a map using the editor, you can make more...but the resource spread is determined at the beginning of the game (and the AI can see them all) and there's no way to get more unless it peters out somewhere and new stuff appears elsewhere.

Random Seed is a game mechanic.  At the beginning of every segment...say a start of a turn...a random number is generated and held in reserve for the NEXT thing that will need a random number.  Say there's a combat offscreen somewhere where you can't see...that uses that Random Seed, and a new one is created for you when you run your turn.  If you fight a battle, pop a goody hut, or, oddly enough, found a city (I'm 99% positive this causes the RS to reset, having utilized Alternate Reality, or Reloading for Fun and Profit, numerous times), the random seed changes.  If you are unscrupulous (or frustrated) and want to reload to get different battle results or goody hut pops, you need to turn OFF preserve Random Seed.  If you want to reload for advantage with Preserver Random Seed on, you'll need to use up that random seed that made you unhappy on something else...so say you took that hut and it popped a map (booo!), if you reloaded with Preserver Random Seed on, you could fight  a battle somewhere else that would cause the seed to be used and you could then try the hut again.  If you have Preserve Random Seed off, every time you reload, a new random number is rolled.

*punishes you for using ALL CAPS!*
