Hmm which province do you mean? It should now have the correct graphics for all the provinces if i didn't miss any.

Sorry was away for a few days. I hope I downloaded the right map Version? I dont know how computers work, but the .tga has 5497 KB and the world.map has 32 kb.

Here are some examples:
201: Farm Lands
198: Plains
172: Swamps, Farm Lands
235: Forest, Mountains

well a bunch more, is that enough?
Ok do I need to update the .tga or the .map?
thanks a lot

Blech

Well it will be fixed tomorrow.

sorry -- no rush or anything sir, you are doing a great job.
Would you like me to "proof" it for you? I could just go through all the provinces and hit "i" and see what they say....?

Fixed. In addition the zip contains an uncompressed tga now. That should speed it up when creating a new game.

Torvak, my deepest gratitude. You rock!

If you don't mind, I have tried in what follows to list a fairly comprehensive (if not systematically done) list of inconsistencies still remaining within your most excellent world map. Forgive me if this is annoying, already mentioned, or just plain wrong:

18: Farm lands
14: plains
34: Forest Mountain
47: Forest Mountain
51: Forest Mountain
69: Forest Mountain
84: Forest
235: Forest Mountain
289: Forest (well ok, but looks like mostly plains or waste)
283: Mountain (there is no mountain icon, and one must ask: Scotland: Mountains?? Mountains in Scotland where??)
333: Mountain
248: Forest Mountain
182: Forest Mountain
150: Forest Mountain
260: Forest Mountain
327: Forest Mountain

(All of west-central Africa: it's all labeled "forest", which is fine by me, but on a "farm lands" background -- is that intentional?)

Well I hope this is helpful. Best to you!

EDIT: oh is there also anyway to make your great map list as "World Map" instead of "Map with XXX provinces"? NOt that this is important, but would be kind of like icing on a very nice cake.

It seems to me that the areas of hawaii and polynesia have no seas. Anyone else notice this???
