It is expected by the design and we would like to use it this way. Executions, as I understand, call corresponding method separately, so it rolls also separately. In turn, in my realization, for fillArea and addLine we roll once for all blocks added, and it is also what I wanted here.

Progress report: I think I understood the necessary background for vertical terrain and will be able to merge and test this feature within next 1-3 days.

Would it also use randomTerrains property? Or my additions are breaking something?

Is this feature available with the current version of OXCE? Or is it still being tested?

The changelog says quite clearly what is available in the current version of OXCE.

I did read what is available in the current change log. However, seeing the screenshot from this thread, I just wish to confirm if this is being tested. A yes or no will do.

If the possible answers are only yes and no... then I am forced to say no.

Yes.
And it was also renamed to just `randomTerrain`.

Or my additions are breaking something?

Sort of.
I wanted only one attribute (=the terrain vector) with 2 types of ruleset syntax. Not 2 different attributes.

Merged here: https://github.com/MeridianOXC/OpenXcom/commit/e0582e16acd70dd527ecaf5d64ccfbd3036a04ab

Feedback.

I have tested this new feature today. I found the distribution of the different terrain map mix uneven.

Is it possible we can determine the weight of distribution with the terrain mix?

For example.

  - type: Randomseaterrain
    commands:
    - type: addCraft
      groups: 1
      randomTerrain: [SEAFORESTX, CORAL]
    - type: addUFO
      groups: 1
      #UFOName: STR_DREADNOUGHTLAND
      randomTerrain: [SEAFORESTX, CORAL]
    #- type: addUFO
    #  groups: 1
    #  UFOName: STR_FLEET_SUPPLY_CRUISERLAND
    #  randomTerrain: [SEAFORESTX, CORAL]
    - type: addBlock
      randomTerrain: [CORAL, SEAFORESTX]
      executions: 12
    - type: fillArea
      randomTerrain: [SEAFORESTX, CORAL]

Coral appeared around 8 of the maps with seaforestx for 4.

Perhaps something like.

      randomTerrain: [CORAL, SEAFORESTX]
      randomweight: [50,50]

The weight determine the chances of occurrence or the mixture of different terrain map generated?

I've just realized I'd never properly thanked you for adding this... So many thanks :)
