Either of those would work great (as they are missing the pixelation). I'm running into more difficulties though. *sigh* This will never be easy unless someone were to create a very powerful map designer for this game.
Basically what I was
attempting to do is to take a DomMap map, delete all the color information, just retaining the province borders and capitol dots, then filling in the land and sea with Dom 2's texture, as you can see here:

(I just threw the mountains and stuff on there, don't pay attention to those graphics)
Problems....
The beige and blue is no problem, but then you have to draw in all the rivers by hand. If you are going to use the "mapstuff" icons (a mountain range for example), you'd have to hand-modify the province borders to follow the shape of the mountains. Have to paint in the greenery (valleys) and "forest shadows", etc...
alot of work went into the maps that came with Dom2!

Not many people, not many Users...what's the diff between a person and a user? Yeah, you're being picky. 
A very good friend of mine is a linux fanatic, and I know exactly where you're coming from. No insult or slight intended. My meaning was that the vast majority of gamers out there are running MS Windows OS's. So if DomMap (Phil's Version) only runs on linux/unix, there won't be as many Dom2 fans using it to create maps.
Oh well... there's always the old fashioned way of hard work.
