Yeah most of the Map and Mod lists ignore me. The maps because they are "generated" instead of drawn. But if you want to get around that try playing with GIMPs Sepia function to make it look like an old-style pirate map.
I give an example of my full generating string here.

I like to run them in batches of 100 at night when I go to bed, then look for a particularly good one in the morning.
Usually I use 50.
But Ive gone as high as 70 on really large maps which gives you almost a maze.
I also prefer green for plains instead of that tan color, semi-transparent light-green for land borders, semi-transparent light-blue for sea borders.
