Query about Terrain Generation

Engines, Libraries and Tools Xith3D Forums
#1

A few friends and I are planning to make a RTS game in Java using Xith3D. I am quite an experienced Java programmer but am relatively new to Xith3D. I am trying to gauge what is feasible in Xith3D and am trying to find information about Terrain Generation (something like a tutorial) but all I can find is the terrain example on the demos page of the xith.org website.

Could anyone please point me in the right direction or give me any information about how I generate terrain for this style of game.
Thanks

Well from our current design the game will be similar to Age of the Empires / Settlers (3/4) So a god like game where you build your empire up from the resources on the map. My question is relating more to how I go about making the basic map. I plan to import buildings and character from 3D modelling tools but its the terrain which is causing me the problems.

Thanks for the link, am just reading up about. Hoping once I understand the theory I can start applying this to the terrain template in Xith.
