Will never lock the map or even early on, leave it at all, but that appears to be the general idea of the game.

Just because they're handcrafting the landscape and facilities doesn't mean they're doing so with an eye towards specific battle lines.

There's nothing to stop re-randomization of resources periodically. The terrain should be designed to support engaging combat from multiple angles, that's the point.
