europa dom2 map

[Whismerhill]

for those who don't know
europa map is a quite big map from dominion1 (297 provinces)
representing .... well europa of course ;-)

I converted the TGA file to 2400x1600 instead of 800x600 so that the size is more adequate to icon's size in dom2
also I have applied a few filters to smooth edges a little
and I reinforced provinces limits
actually I'm in the process of redoning all the neighbors and provinces flags (swamp ...)
I'll post the original and modified tga's and when finished the .map file too

rules used for converting:
-neighbours are only provinces directly next to frontiers (whether it's far or not)
-swamp : green-blue color
-farm : light brown color & yellow
-waste : light yellow
-forest : green
-sea : this one is obvious
-fresh water : any province that has at least one river or lake (and I mean a TRUE lake/river, the water must not be ocean like (salty ...) )
-mountain : dark brown
-nostart : none for instance
-manysites : none for instance

sometimes it's difficult to say the dominant color in a terrain...

to flag a province mountain : the brown pixels must be grouped together

I'll try to stick to that
if interested or if you have anything to say... do not hesitate to PM or mail me through this forum

progress : 297/297 provinces neighbours done
25/297 flags set

PS: I'm french, my english is not that good.

(anyone who knows a program that could count pixels in a province ?)

Thanks for doing this. I for one am eagerly looking forward to it.

if anyone has webspace to host a 3.8 Mb zip file
... cause the 'free.fr' server has some serious problems

[Saber Cherry]

Try Dominions X.

[Nerfix]

Yeah, Dom X is willing to host.

but how I get this file hosted on dom X ?
