This is the key point.  Decent random maps would change the Crossfire world
from finite to infinite.  I can imagine even having decent random quests.
I mean, how hard is a quest?  You have someplace in the map where you
pose the quest, "get this item from y and put it on altar x", or "y has
a certain potent magical item".
