''Not to be confused with [[Random Warlords and Random Cities]]''.
 
WarLight automatically creates a [[Random Warlords Distribution|random warlords distribution]] and [[Random Cities Distribution|random cities distribution]] for every map. This determines that the distribution will be random when the game is started.
 
However, many map designers include a [https://www.warlight.net/wiki/index.php?title=Cities_and_Warlords_Distribution#Warlords warlords distribution] and [https://www.warlight.net/wiki/index.php?title=Cities_and_Warlords_Distribution#Cities cities distribution] manually by picking the territory in each bonus themselves. For most games, this is preferred since the map designer typically knows best where to place these. This has a few advantages:
* They allow each game to have exactly the same start, ensuring there is a single strategy per game
* In a [[fog]] game, players will know where the cities or start points will be, players can use this as a benefit provided that their warlord(s) or city(ies) got out-ranked by the opposition
 
These distributions are designed for maps whether or not bonuses overlap. If a map designer overlaps bonuses, these distributions won't produce unexpected results. This will mean that [[superbonuses]] won't affect the distribution of Warlords and Cites.
 
Warlords will have a starting location, even if any bonus is worth less than an army per turn.
 
== Warlords Distribution ==
<!--- This is enough detail -->''Warlords distribution'' is a [[normal distribution]] that allows ''a'' [[territory]] in each [[bonus]] on a [[map]] to be pickable during distribution.
 
== Cities Distribution ==
<!--- This is enough detail -->''Cities distribution'' is a normal distribution  that allows ''all apart from a'' territory in each bonus on a map to be pickable during distribution.
