Hi there,
obviously, my question is whether there's a way to have a random map generated where I'm the only player and can just explore/do whatever on my own. The best I could do is make a hotseat game and just don't play as the second player, but that gets a little annoying skipping the day and clicking away the info boxes twice every time.

You could make a single player Scenario and set the win condition you want , such as Flag All Mines, so you could control when it ended.

But no sadly you cannot really create randomly generated maps with 1 player as this is a TBS game and there would be no real Turns or Strategy involved in that.

...or you could control the 2nd player, controlling both and play as usual.

There is a way.

Open the map editor. Create a new map for 2, checking the "Generate Random Map" option.

For one of the players, demolish his starting town.
Then underground, set aside a small area, completely separated from everything else and build that player's town there. He's trapped, can't do anything, and the other player has the full run of the map.

Attached is a map I build this way. Took me 3 mins (change extension from png to h3m). The blue player can't do anything and the red player can play in sandbox mode.
