The new map Dawn

A big golden trophy to the one/ones who made this map - it is beatiful! What I really like is your idea of different domains for the different nations of Dominions 3. This really helps new players like me to get a "feeling" for them; and as you have illustrated where they belong, you have also shown the player what their weaknesses and strengths might be - you have given them a home and an identity. Well done!

Might I add that more maps of this calibre is something that I in the future will dream off day and night?

Jason truly outdid himself with this one.

The "Dawn of Dominions" scenario.
I hope Jason doesnt mind but here is a shot of it.

That is an excellent map. Some very creative matching between the image of the map (what you see) and the coding of the map (whats in the .map file as being the properties of each province).

Everyone should take a look at it (its in the new patch). Especially anyone considering their own maps as it does make use of some of the new features that have been added to the game or are soon to come.

Fantastic new map, well done Jason...again.

This is one of the best maps I have seen so far!

Let's hope we get a new map of that quality with every larger patch.

Now I'm sad that I spent this day coloring this guy:

Instead of checking out all the new stuff

That map is a work of art... great lateral thinking went in to that design.

Hey, thanks everyone -- your comments really mean a lot. Since I just work on these things in my spare time, it's nice that the efoort is noticed. The gold trophy's going on my mantel!

I would like to do more maps in the future, but my time is very limited these days, so no guarantees. I've got a lot of other (paying) work on my plate, so that takes priority.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the map Jason, It's beautiful and has an unique flavor.

Now I just need to make or find a variant scenario for both middle Age and late era. ^_^

Argatha having a whole underground cave system is just beautifal and fun at the same time. I love Ze new cave system just for encouraging darkness monsters
