Default Re: The Random Map Generator and Maps

OK Im liking the results so far. Im running with a targa size of 1600x1200 because it was one of the screen sizes my monitor allowed so Im thinking its a common size.

This is generating some very interesting maps. Of course people can create maps with less than 500 provinces. And with a map-image within the targa less than the max which gives them a black boundary they can write things or add pictures in. I LOVE how interesting the province shapes are getting. Very strategic

Unfortunately the .map it creates is still fairly worthless. But it still wont be bad as a starting point. An idea spur for people who want to manually do maps.

Now if we can just get some GIMP brushes for landscape items
