Default Land of Legends

I found most Dominions 3 maps just plain ugly or alternatively too messy, like borders that are hard to figure out - which is far worse.

I did, however, find Cradle of Dominions by Jason Lutes beautiful, interesting with all the bottlenecks and also very clear. While I am no artist myself, I figured out I could probably draw a decent map and re-use the graphics from Cradle of Dominions.

I have made a total of three maps, this being the third, but the two before had major flaws with how provinces are laid out - mind you, this one isn't perfect either - and aren't really worth sharing.

- Harbours on the island lead to "closest" harbours on the mainland and vice versa.
- The lake on the top left corner is accessible from sea via the river. The river is not a province.
- The central island provinces have the "many sites"-modifier.

EDIT: Fixed two province adjancencies on 20.5.
EDIT: Two more adjancies fixed on 26.5

I personally won't link to Dominions 3 content made by me any more and I hope no-one else will either (old links are fine, whatever). You should be able to find them or most of them by asking on IRC or googling the other forums
