Default Re: Is there a guide or overview on how to make a map?

If you want to check if your map file is correct, you can use my online tool at http://dominions.realites.org/map_randomizer/

Juste uncheck the randomize options so the script doen't try to change any province, and if there are any unrecognized command, they will be listed.

Moreover, the script will output a cleaned map file, with all infos grouped by provinces, and add comments about each provinces terrain types.

The tool has not been updated for a while, so there might be some new commands from last patches still not recognized, but it shouldn't be too hard to update

I had also started working on a map editor (see the beta http://dominions.realites.org/map_editor/) but both projects have been put on hold for a while.
