After playing around in hexographer using the map creation instructions from 7VoZ, I found this will save a good deal of time:
Set height to 35, width to 30 (7VoZ)
Set hex height to 39, hex width to 42 (7VoZ)
Set map orientation to true rows (7VoZ)
Here's the difference:
1. open custom terrain.
2. change first two features to sandy desert
3. change next two features to farmland
4. change next two features to swamp
5. change next two features to heavy evergreen
6. change next two features to mountains
7. change final feature to sea
Generate map
Tools -> Add random features -> frequency 1.7%, select castles -> add random features
Determine castle inhabitants via OD&D The Underworld & Wilderness Adventures p. 15 or with the Judges Guild Castle Book I
The 1.7 frequency was derived from the rate that strongholds appear on the outdoor survival map.
