I like maps with highly defensible positions-when i happen to get one.

I do also. My usual ones tend to be more like this...
the Great Continent
4 seperate oceans, and the land is a maze of border mountains. LOTs of chokepoints.

Or this one....
Divide and Conquer
which recognizes that a game tends to get down to giant nations.

Ouch my bad. Im sorry.
Those are from my keepers directory. I generate random maps each night using 5 different map generators (soon 6). Then in the morning I look at the batches. I move the ones I like to various project directorys. Those were from the "Keepers" dir for huge maps with the Dom3 generator.

Im afraid that I havent done anything with them yet.

I have had 2 up for abit though. TriMega has 1495 provinces for those who like large long solo games.

which can be downloaded at
http://www.dom3minions.com/RandomMaps/TriMega.zip

And for those who are as crazy as I am there is Mega Map.
http://www.dom3minions.com/RandomMaps/MegaMap.jpg
http://www.dom3minions.com/RandomMaps/MegaMap.zip
The description on it is
#description "This map has 1495 provinces. There is enough room to play
with all of the nations of an era, and still have wilderness between you
for quite awhile. In fact you have nearly 70 provinces each. There are
also random surprises scattered around the map. You might even start with some."

Actually they are both big enough to play with 75 nations if you want to download the SingleAge mod that puts them all nto the early age for one game. MegaMap has been known to crash some peoples machines. And it takes a LONG time to do the first generation of a turn which causes many people to think it has locked up. But its generating almost twice the number of randoms as any other map, and double that again for the many wierd surprises I put in it.

Thanks Gandalf! I appreciate all you do for us lazy bums. I have been wanting to play with a fully wrapped big map but I've been too..... lazy to edit a random map myself.
