re-making mini.map
OK Im going to be tackling a new Version for Mini.tga/Mini.map
It will still be great for fast tests of army-vs-army (battle simulator). But it will also be the basis for some how-to on making maps, using map commands, modifying a map file for purposes such as giving yourself allies. Just a few provinces. Maybe 4 land and 2 water. Just enough to test with.
Using GIMP (the powerfull free paint program used to make many games including Dominions2) I have these 4 files. Im not much of an artist so these are just the 'hit a button' generators I found buried in the program.

What do you think? I will generate a smaller image of course. Someone with more patience can try turning THOSE monsters into playable maps. Which one looks like a good example to spark map-making interest?
