test map from Bryce

Wow! Nice! What kind of program are you using to make this?

What would be good (either from Gandalf/DomMap or from Kristoffer) would be a map with the following:

1) Water areas are solid blue.
2) Land areas are solid beige (same color as Aran map).
3) Province borders are drawn in.
4) Capital white dots are drawn in.
5) .map file exists, with water/land province info in it (but not strictly necessary as long as the Dom 2 in-game editor works with designating land/water provinces).
I can probably add an option to dommap so that it outputs only these colors (blue for sea provinces, beige for land provinces, white capitals, red borders, another blue for sea borders; I just noticed, though, that the border algorithm apparently loses some pixels, at least in the seas).

I'd leave the neighbours, and can either leave the terrain information or not, in the .map file. Or even add an option for each. AFAIK dom2 doesn't even try to guess at neighbours, so these are required unless you want to mess with them in the editor.

Any interest in this? It's most likely a 20-line hack - should be within my capabilities. After all, I'm just a CS teacher...
