Interesting. Then what is it randomizing, then? Maybe contents of shops inside caves, or variations in the ambient mobs? Or are you saying it's not randomizing, but it doesn't activate the static seed you got until you go in?

Well, what seems to be the case is that the army is, in some sense, pre-generated at game creation time, but whatever process is used to actually make that happen doesn't kick in until you enter the area. I tried numerous things in order to try and change the army composition and nothing worked. So it must be using a different seed than the one used in combat. It's probably in the safe file somewhere, but it'd be hard to find it - and even finding it wouldn't really be helpful.
