Very beautiful indeed. I like the added touches described in the comments section of the .map file. I've yet to get a chance to play it, but after looking at the .tga and the document, it's awfully nice. I'll be giving it a try this week for certain!

Great-looking map! The bridges, cities, and cornfields are all nice touches. Just from the description it seems considerable thought was put into starting provinces. Its different in style from anything else, and very easy on the eye.

I look forward to playing on it!

Excellent addition to the maps available. Offers alot of fresh ideas for other map makers to consider and it looks very playable.

But when Kristoffer uses real names it always confuses me. Where did this guy come from? Did he do this all on his own? From another board? Is he a lurker here? Or a handle I dont connect to the name? Thinking of everyone by their handles is a fault. I know tha. But maybe we could mention both the name and the handle if known. Hey Jason!

To my knowledge he has no presence on these Boards. He was semi-active on usenet during the dom1 times and made a map called 'Realm War' with a nice colour palette.

Hi guys...

Kristoffer's right about my not having posted here, and Gandalf's right about me being a lurker. It's been very helpful to read these Boards -- Gandalf's randomly generated maps have provided great "canvases" for me to work with. Thanks, Gandalf!

Much obliged for the kind words about the map. If anyone has any comments after giving it a run-through, please post them here. I did find a few neighbor errors in testing, and have sent Kristoffer an updated .map file to correct them. If anyone wants me to send them the new file directly, let me know.

Also, though I currently have to take a break from my obsessive mapmaking, I am interested in doing more in the future, so if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!

Jason

Jason,
Nice, very nice map, noted one minor thing ... not sure if it's intended or not. Area 90 has a name listed as Randomized. Since you named everything else, either you missed this one or it's "delibrate imperfection". Either is just fine, only thought I'd note it in case it was unintended.

Thanks for the excellent map.
