These are the steps basically... (correct me if I'm wrong) make the .map file, copy the .2h file from newlords to the dir then call dom2 with the commandlines for making a new game and -g correct?

I think both of them use the original .map file renamed to something like a .txt file so I can always copy it again and again. The originals have all the #neighbor and #terrain commands. I just add my stuff to the end.
