A Random map is a map generated by a script based on many different variables such as the number of players, map size, and other specifics in the script. Although there are variables in a script that can be defined, such as the distance of a forage patch from a player's capitol, the exact location is determined at random (hence, "random" map). So, a certain random map script may have a certain type of play style, but the maps are created such that they are never exactly the same.

Random map games make up nearly all multiplayer games, while all other multiplayer games are scenarios.
