I have problem understanding what exactly does wrap-around. As province linking can be altered to our own choice (eg linking the provinces of two opposite edges), I suppose that the wraparound option is only used for scrolling purpose?

Also, am I right in assuming that you have no link detection algorithm in doms II, or does the one of Doms I still present, but optional?

What is a good map size? I was thinking of 4 1024x768 screen total, so 2048 x 1536 ? I know that with zoom it is not much an issue, but what are the average size of doms II maps made so far?

will we have a library of pre made sprites for forests and mountains? If no, do you feel its ok (for a fan made map) to use graphics from old games, like Heroes of Might and Magic III? I dont want to be accused of copyright infrigment (sp?)...

Last, what are the resolutions supported by doms II? 1024 is ok?

Mainly for scrolling purposes. You must still add borders of the un-wrapped map edges.

Border detect is still present, but you can choose not to use it.

The largest maps of Dom II are 2400x1800 IIRC. There is no particular limit that I know of.

I intend to make a forest/mountain/feature library when I have time.

We do not have any issues with player contributed maps infringing on other works. As I have stated earlier, I would gladly play on a Middle Earth map.

Resolutions is not a problem. The game supports more resoulutions than I could ever care to use.
