Seriously, did you try to make a map with this tool?
Right now, it is slow, slow and slow. It crashes easily, and it's very awkward to create large land masses.
You'd have to draw the borders and white pixels by hand of course. Reusing the textures and using the tool for these purposes are also not legit with the beta license. Might be ok with the final license, though.

I'll try to answer point by point.
Yes, I seriously did try, or why would I have posted the screenshots?
It takes about 30 seconds to generate one using the largest map size , multiple continents on my computer. (They are ugly though, and like you said, you have to manually add the provinces afterwards, but isn't this a flaw with any external map making tool?
The Stardock CEO said that one of the functions of the map making tool was to be able to generate maps for use in RPGs etc outside of Elemental. I would be very surprised if they tried to sue you for making a Dominions map with their tools. A significant number of the maps made for Dominions are made using map makers from other games.
