Editing Map Editor - Objects (section)

== Random Monsters ==
Random Monsters can be of a specified or a non-specified level. Specified-level random monsters will be replaced with the random monster, of the appropriate level (randomly upgraded or unupgraded), when the map is generated or restarted. Their quantity will be randomly generated from the quantity pool for that monster (which is visible when right-clicking the appropriate monsters on the right). Note, that a random monster's properties may be customized just like any other monster's. Note, that the chosen quantity will override any default quantity, and thus if the random monster is particularly stronger than their equivalent-level comrades, the chosen quantity will pose an extra threat to the payer. Value option {{withmapedhota}} may be used to alter the quantity of monsters to always as closely resemble a chosen Value as possible (remember, that Value = AI_value / 2.5 +2300). This is particularly noticeable on lower-level creatures - since they have lower AI value per unit, the map editor will more readily replace them with the appropriate AI value. At the same time, a difference of up to a few thousand points of value can have no impact on the quantity of very powerful creatures, such as [[Crystal Dragon]]s, whose Value of 34000 and 41500 would produce 2 Crystal Dragons in each case, despite a 7500 Value difference. 

Non-specified level random monsters increase the pool of available monsters to all creatures, from a [[Peasant]] to an [[Azure Dragon]]. It is recommended to avoid using this feature.
