Default Re: new maps? or old maps?

@PhilD:
Well one of the reasons I feel my maps page exists is because of the maximum sized maps. The Tiny Im almost tempted to force them to make their own. Small-Large are about the range being covered by the much better manually created ones. Im not sure that anyone is going to manually create an Epic sized map unless its done like the Faerun one was by finding a map and (painstakingly) putting in all of the capital, terrain, and neighbor commands.

@Endoperez:
Im considering adding a run like I did for Targa (not sure where he went off to). I still run it every night but Im not sure if I should update the DomMap its using or not without checking with him. The option for these "blanks" is programmed into the new Dommap. Check out the jpg's here...

@Edi:
No its just using the newest compile Ive gotten with the old map-run settings. If I dive into changing parameters then there are alot I would change.

Im also considering a run using the "shadow rough" setting such as the upper-right example of this test run...

But for now Im mostly looking for whether anyone feels the old maps are worth keeping in the run. Hmmmm I should take a stab at seeing how close to the old style I can get with the new program and its improvements.
