Excellent software for mapmakers

Guys, if you install Kohan...please make a testmap with mountains, hills, water, sand and obstacles.

I think that this map editor would be excellent also.
There are like 7 terrain types + water, trees, mountains, buildings and various other stuff to place.

The Kohan maps look well suited to Dominions.

For anyone interested, I have uploaded another Age of Mythology map to the Dom2 map forums:

Very nice map.
I also think that the Kohan map editor is a must have to make Doms 3. maps. I've just bought Kohan: Ahriman's Gift from Ebay. Hopefully I can get my hands on it on this week.

Its seems abit squarish in the way it does its tiles. I suppose that could be smoothed out abit in a paint program.

Im thinking I might prefer to take things from the image and use it to add some variety to Dom3 generated maps.

It takes minutes to correct those tiles with Adobe Photoshop or Corel. In fact paint programs are excellent to improve the quality of the generated terrains/maps, regardless of what editor did we used to make them.

Okay, I've made a test with the Kohan map editor.
I've also added test borders.

I think that it looks good.
