Kristoffer (and all), try this link:

They apparently have a daily bandwidth usage for free accounts, so I found a backdoor.
As for the mapstuff files, xcf is GIMP format, which neither I nor many gamers use. So if you could convert them to something like tga or bmp for us that would be great!

I don't see a Version mentioned. I downloaded it from dominionsx I think, and ran it under WinXP. Worked fine...at least for creating the picture file. The map file is there, and full of text, but I have no idea if Dom2 will actually read it correctly. It has a bunch of "neighbor" and "setland" stuff in it... I run it and it pops up in a DOS box, then produces random.tga and random.map files.

Bryce 4.0 from Metacreations. 
Is there any documentation on using the Map Editor included with Dominions 2? I read the 2 pdf files that came with the patch, and they're not very explicit. They also don't explain anything about how to use the built-in program. I read on this board that if you use "guess neighbors" it crashes the game. My question is: Can the built-in editor be used to generate an accurate .map file? It appears as though it's just asking for a finished .tga file, but when I loaded one (complete with white dots for capitols), none of the buttons/boxes did anything. There was just a white indie flag in the bottom-left corner of the map the whole time.
EDIT: Found another freebie site. Try these links if you can't see the pics:
