Anyone have any ideas and/or algorithms to create worlds similar to the 
ones generated by the game Civilization.  Possibly a little more
intelligent in the sense that it could create mountain ranges rather
than the seemingly random placement of terrain in Civ.

My current plan to do the land masses it to generate a random number
of circles of random size and then make a second pass through to
alter the perimeters and make them not so perfect looking.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
