Re: New Map
I dont mind the east-west wrap as much as the full globe wraps. It would be easy to "justify" an "east-west only" wrap by saying that even the most cold-loving of races arent ready to go up over the poles to reach someone.
I havent played with the mapeditor yet. A thin line of really REALLY white provinces although there might be a drawback to investing province numbers in provinces that no one can enter. And Im not sure if painting polar onto the top and bottom edges of the farthest north/south provinces will affect their stats. Giving those provinces mountains definetly would.
The background seems to be full size? Not a tile? Strange. (actually it seems to be a full size created from a tile pasted 4 times). Well anyway, since it isnt tiled it would be nice if there was an option in the .map to use a different one.
In the case of an e-w wraparound it could be solid polar seeming at the top and bottom with regions such as temperate and tropical down the sides. Also I could see some with hotkeys (such as for the already started game for the demo to include) or one of those old maps warning about going to far (beyond here there be Dragons) or maybe part of the storyline for the map (one ring to rule them all).
