Default Re: Dom3Minions RandomMaps (again)

Sometimes I slap myself for finding new things so many years into this game. I get flak sometimes for not knowing things about mods, or balance, or mp, as being one of the beta testers. But I consider those to be areas well covered by other people (better covered by other people). BUT something new and useful in the areas of hosting, or map generating, or the games maximums; that hurts. Those are areas I kinda took onto myself. Especially if it seems simple and obvious.

ANYWAY......
Something we have lacked since Dom2 days when Targa used the old DomMap to make blank templates for people wanting to make maps.

Now I find that setting the generator to 100% water does the same. Eventually I will add this as a section (like maps 30-40) in each map-size run on my site.

For now, here are the test shots. 2 solid colors which are easy to fill in, red borders so the game editor can "see" it better, and a white pixel in each province.
