I guess I think of Dominions as more of a Palladium or maybe Chaosium game system flavor. Feeblemind is Sanity==0, right? %-) And the endurance/fatigue similarity is a good observation Cainehill, but let's not _completely_ hijack the thread into old game systems nostalgia.
I have really come to like the non-hex maps more and more. There are lots of hex strategy/wargame maps and they all seem to look artificial to me, even e.g. wesnoth. Guess that doesn't help Blacksilver much either...
This is where I have seem a good list of links to tools for "amateur" map and landscape generation. Many are freely distributable or open source:
