Default Re: dom2 map editor and dominion1 maps

It's not too hard.

Remember to edit the TGA and take out the capital designator pixel in the top right. Otherwise this will generate a province up there.

I tried to edit my old "Fantasy North America" map using the demo, but got frustrated. With the map editor from Dom2 full Version I am slowly doing the conVersion. Expect about two weeks conVersion time.

The provinces get numbered differently, so if you have special provinces with stuff in them... you will have to move the stuff to the new number.

You also must do some fuddling with the "defaultmapzoom" to make sure there are no undersized provinces. Dom2 packs a bunch of icons into the provinces and some small DomI provinces will overflow if you fail to adjust the defaultmapzoom.

That said, the map tool is great. I could scan in a picture of almost anything and make a map of it. I'm actually suprised that the game shipped with so few maps considering the ease of making them.
