Wraith Bunny

Follow only if ye be men of valour, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived. Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.

8-11 LAND players, 165 provinces (163 land, 2 water)
Simple map using my hexmap editor and a combination of Wesnoth terrain tiles & custom tiles.

Yet another experiment gathering dust. This map (unlike some of the others), has no real purpose or theme. It was just a test map making use of some hex tiles from Wesnoth & a few of my own custom works.

Cute. It has a very retro gamer feel to it.

When you created this map, did you intend for the gold colored mountains to be different in some way (other than color) from the grey ones? Are there any other special features that are more than appearence? What about those bones?
Thanks for another one of your creations.

Hmm, seems easy to make wraparound with this one. I suspect there is a demand for these, since the generator can't handle wraparound.

I believe the MP community is longing for more wraparound maps.

It definitely has a Wesnoth look and feel to it. What kinda hexmap editor do you have there? Has it been released yet?

Pardon the ignorance, but what's Wesnoth, which editor are you using, where can I get it and where can I also get those tiles? Because I really like the graphics.

The Battle for Wesnoth is a free, turn-based strategy game with a fantasy theme. www.wesnoth.org

They even have quite a useful Wiki for documentation. I am currently eying at http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/Cartography_for_Wesnoth trying to make use of it for Dom3 maps, too, for example.

We do have a map generator that is capable of making wrap-around maps. But it needs some work to make maps that people find pleasing.

Mostly its in need of a good tiles file it can use

Nice!

@Edi: Wesnoth is a nice game. You should try it.
