I have been having a play with the map editor, and it doesn't seem too hard to create new maps derived from ProFantasy's Campaign Cartographer (which is a cool protgram BTW). Making the map work did involve a number of graphic conVersions, editing individual pixels, running Dom 2 in debug mode and making a map file by hand. Not as straightforward as I could have wished, but no individual step was particually hard.

I agree that there are alot of things that could make it easier. There is a terrain generator in GIMP that Ive gotten to make some pretty good images with but I cant seem to get past that. I could probably use a layer to put down some interesting borders and capitals but Im not about to manually create a .map file with all the terrains and neighbors.

Do you mind if I use what you have done to create some modified games. Such as Rlyeh, Atlantis, Ermor all allied with hand-made gods and starter boosts (for the this-game-is-too-easy crowd)

If you are interested in doing alot of maps for while, I can give you an account to create your own site. Doesnt have to be fancy if you dont want but it will give you a place to upload to and link in conversations here. Heck I can even give you access to my mess at www.techno-mage.com/~dominion if you want to clean it up
Its mostly Dom1 stuff with a few efforts at Dom2 things.
