You could have a look at this http://www.idevgames.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-5136.html
Looking at this I also had an idea which is a mix of some of the
others.
1. divide your main area in a number of sub areas (for example 9)
2. assign a random height to each sub area (independent of its
neighbours)
3. go to sub area 1 and divide this into a number of sub sub areas
(again, let's say 9)
4. for each sub sub area that is a neighbour of a sub area (for
instance sub area 2) you could do (height_sa1 + height_sa2) / 2 +
rand(-x, x)
5. repeat 4 for each sub sub area and go on to the next sub area
I haven't realy thought this trough but maybe it helps :)
