You know, you just made my day, Daynarr. Best news I've heard in a long, long time. You see, good RMGs with immediate out of the box printability are very rare, never mind ones that actually generate *graphical* maps, so Dominions II might actually have a niche market even outside strategy gaming circles for people who need maps, but aren't skilled with graphics tools and/or just plain drawing them by hand.

Such as the traditional RPG gaming crowd (designing a campaign world map is a ****ing pain in the ***!), and even writers. Maps produced by people with the RMG are their property after all (just like the contents of text documents produced with MS Word are the author's property and not Microsoft's), and can be used for purposes *other* than playing Dominions II.

I'm an aspiring writer who couldn't draw anything competently if his life depended on it, and maps (especially random ones) always give me tons of ideas. I'll be abusing the RMG mercilessly when I get Dominions II, in the meanwhile I'll be using the Dominions I RMG by Keldon Jones for those purposes.

So, I'll be in a double debt to Illwinter, first for producing a kick-*** strategy game that curb-stomps everything else out there (including my all-time favorite, AoW, which is better than Dominions: PP&P in some respects but not quite as good overall), and now giving me tools that I've been coveting for *years*. I've also got some other friends who will be seriously looking into this aspect even if they'd not be interested in the game itself (though I daresay they will be).
