Modern RTS with random maps for skirmish?

Seems to me that most modern RTSs forgot to include random maps for skirmish. Anyone know of a modern RTS which does include random maps (without having to mod)?

What is unclear (non-rhetorical)?

If I was to hazard a guess it would be he is thinking about pre-designed maps that are selected for play in a random fashion rather then what I think you are talking about which is a map which is created with random features.

To answer your question, I am not aware of any but if there was such a thing I would like to know about it as well.

I am indeed thinking about maps being randomly generated, often with adjustable parameters (size, amount of hills etc etc). IIRC it was pretty standard practice in the 90s and I hate that it has kinda disappeared. I played a lot of Tiberian Sun that way, didn't really care about campaigns.

Randomly selecting pre-made maps I can manage without software support.

I don't think they make games like that anymore.  Supreme Commander might have that.  I never liked it though.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
