Re: Excellent software for mapmakers
 

Actually, cheap software that is well made and can handle sci-fi, fantasy, interiors, actual fractal generation of terrain, and umpteen billion other uses:

http://www.nbos.com

Been using it for years along with CC. Personally I like the NBos better because it will generate a realistic world for you easily using actual scientific fractal formulas.

That software from NBOS also looks good. But the screenshots dont seem to show alot of icon type items to add to the map. Are there upgrade libraries or something for that?

It looks like it will create wrappable maps

The scripting it allows might be good for someone creating an automated edging tool (draw around all of the terrain features), then divide them into provinces, and add a white dot to each.

Yes, and you can add your own graphics and Icons... And they actually do have quite alot of icons that you can add, just the demo and screenshots don't add them.

The maps made with the Spartan editor are definitely looking much better then the maps made with CC2 pro, FM 7.0 or CC3.
Eh and I ordered CC3, because I thought that it will be the best to make maps for doms 3. 3 days later I discovered the Spartan editor. [Well my friend adviced it to me to try it out.]
What a shame. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif
