Zen's Europe map

Arryn · #1 March 8th, 2004, 04:42 AM

Zen's Europe map is once again available from my site. The archive contains a .map, a .tga with copyright notice, and a license-rights file.

The direct link is here.

Oh? What happened? Did Zen decide to put it up again after all, or was there a new wrinkle in the case of it being yanked from M:TW?

I thought it was obvious, from my having mentioned the words "copyright notice" and "license-rights file" that he has permission ...

Yes, but I normally didn't put that into the realm of possibility, that the makers of M:TW would actually have agreed to such a thing. It is, after all, a thoroughly inconceivable notion in today's world. I figured that what you might have been suggested instead was that one of you had decided to flout the issue entirely, having found some source of immunity.

Norfy,

Sometimes, when you ask reasonable people reasonable questions in a polite manner you get a reasonable reply, and everyone is happy. Sometimes, you don't. While the world in which we live today for the most part leaves much to be desired, and is rapidly deteriorating, goodness has not been completely extinguished. At least not yet. However, I do expect it to disappear in my lifetime at the present trend. So enjoy it when and where you can find it.

I agree that this still tends to hold true when dealing with people.

Corporations are not people, and no matter how reasonable something may sound, you usually don't get a reasonable outcome.

Good thing !

BTW there were some errors/quirks in the original .map file - mainly one Med province was typed as land, and some "small/large" flags weren't "historical".
Did Zen modify it since first "release" ?

By the way, I wanted to thank Zen for this map. It's beautiful (yes, I know you didn't make it, but you've got a good eye

) and it plays very well.

Yes.

There's still at least one Province that is drawn in as water, and is "plains" in the game. Next to Carthage, if my geography isn't even worse than I already know.
