As easy or as hard as you want it to be.
There is a MAPedit.pdf and a MODedit.pdf in the dominions2/docs directory. Glance at those until you are completely confused. Then look at some of the .map files in the maps dir, and any .dm files in the mod dir if you have downloaded any. You can get great example of both from the www.illwinter.com web site. Looking at how some of those are done usually makes things pretty clear.
You might also want to use the "search" thing in the upper right of this screen since there are a couple of threads about making a middle earth scenario.
