Hex based maps out there?

Wizard Kings has damn good map for dominion if you put them toghether (I had that game, sadly in Italy it's not anymore sold).

It is not sold anymore anywhere (unless old stock is left) except directly from Columbia Games ( www.columbiagames.com ). That has been CG's policy for a while. With the euro-dollar ratio being what it has been for this year it is actually quite a lot cheaper to buy directly from CG to Europe than what it was when the games were available in shops.

There is a Wizard Kings mapmaker available from Columbia Games (http://www.columbiagames.com/resourc...t/mapkit.shtml ), with which it is possible to make those nice geomorphic maps, *if* one has the skills and a program that can handle .eps files (I have neither...).

CG also has the the Ultimate hex-map for a fantasy setting, the map of their immensly thoroughly documented Harn. Unfortunately I think the map is waaay too big for Dominions (70x50=3500 hexes), but one could of course use one of the smaller islands (like Melderyn) from that map.

Then there is of course War of the Rings boardgame, which has an awful map for modern standards, but it is a hex-map of Middle Earth A map can be saved from the Cyberboard box for that game, the box is available from http://matrix.dumpshock.com/tzeentch...n/playaids.htm
Personally I'd suggest making the map a bit more beutiful with the HexMapper program or some other painting software
