The areas of objectives can vary. This becomes clear if you open up the mission editor and build your own missions. Don't ask me the details of how they all work, but there are 9 different objectives, and at least some (most?) can be tied to map areas. The amount of renoun given can be set as well. Patrol objectives can require a continous presense, (meaning you must stay there or start over if you leave), or allow you to come and go.
