I couldn't find a "Random Map" section but I guess it sort of goes with Scenarios. I have one question that I would just love to have answered. My Question Is: - After you create a Map for the "Random Map Setting", in the "Create Scenario" option, how do you arrange it to be in the Random Map Setting, like the Michi maps and Green Arabian maps. Sorry all that I don't know how to do this =/ This is going to be my first Random Map
- Please Answer! WarTrainee34

Place .rms files in the 'Random' folder.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires II\Random
Please visit our FAQ sticky thread or our Tavern with these kinds of simple questions in the future.

You can't. Random maps need to be scripted in a completely different process. You can play the map that you made in the editor by going to standard game -> scenario, but it won't be a selectable 'random map'.
EDIT: I think he's talking about a map made in the editor, Ana.

But right after I create the map, how do I arrange it into the Random Map folder?

Well, If I understand you right, you can't. rms files such as 'Arabia' or 'Black Forest' aren't made in the editor, they're scripted outside of the game in a much more complicated process. It's a completely different thing.
WarTrainee34: We can't create .rms in the scenario editor. Random maps are created by scripting and are given the .rms extension. Scripting is rather complicated and you'll need to understand more about the game features before you can even consider it.
If you want to play a specific random map generated in the scenario editor, choose custom scenario like Bob pointed out. Creating random maps and generating them in the editor are two different things. The random maps generated in the editor can be used to make custom scenarios only, and cannot be made into .rms file.
Thanks Bob!

Well not all that complicated just different. .rms files are scripted like AI files, using keywords understood by game engine. If your interested in this there's a good guide in blacksmith's utilities section called New RMS guide.
Quoted from Angel Anastasia:
Scripting is rather complicated
Ok, maybe it is a bit complicated but it's kinda fun too.
