ok, tested the gaussian blur algorithm and i think i'm satsfied with it, take a look. let me know whether you think it's too blurry or not enough.

I don't like the colors, but the blur works fine. It's hard to tell before seeing some of the icons and the scond blur, though. It all depends on how you do the actual province borders - if they aren't bold in color or shape, the regional differences might be too pronounced. That might be just because of the colors you used, though.

right now, all of the colors are just placeholders for debugging and will be chosen with more care according to the sprites that are going to be placed in each respective area. the final colors will probably look similar to the ones in that older map i put up that already had the sprites.

been pretty busy lately, just started a new job and was out of town for a while. will have some updates this weekend, hopefully province borders will be in.

it's half way there, here's some provinces for ya. hope to make it so that water provinces can be made to be a different size than land ones, maybe another screen later. also expect boundaries to be smoothed out like the terrain type boundaries were.

here's one with water provinces larger than land ones. and i'm outta here for the night

Looks pretty cool, keep up the good work.
