Hi there,

I think the best way would be to implement your own Random class
(extending java.util.Random). If you have an own Random implementation,
you can simply plug it into EvA2 in the RNG class (eva2.tools.math.RNG)
by changing RNG's Random instance to your new type. RNG is used
throughout EvA2 for random number generation.

We would be quite interested whether you receive any significantly
different results in just changing the random number generator, so be
welcome to keep in touch with us.

Best wishes,
