If you did do it manual, how did you map out the hexes to place the dots?

Thanks!
I could not remember, so I did some digging and found the original work folder. Turns out it was over 2 years ago that I did the Blitznoth map image.

I used screen captures from within the Wesnoth map editor and saved them as NE, NW, SE & SW. I then cleaned them up and pieced them back together in GIMP. The province centers were placed with an old map editor that I had started back in 2006-2007 called Dom2hexmap (or something like that). The same editor that I used to make my other hex style maps.

Image editing is not planned for the current Map Forge project.
