Glad people like the maps, I drew em all from scratch

They both change game play a bit due to numerous bottlenecks, but there should allways be choices of direction to expand.

I can get to work on another map, if anyone has any requests?

Excellent work.

Hard to do fairly for multiplay but very desireable for solo play. Thank you.

Would it be OK if I used one for randomized .maps? Or would you like to get together with me and design a randomizer. I will include it at my site.

Or if you could create a large map where no-one can get pinned down by an especially nasty province then let me use it as a base for lost of different random scenarios.

There is a thread here somewhere of maps we wish people would do or something like that.

Something with an underground cave system. One third (or something like that) of the provinces would be underground, with just a few places where the caves reach the surface. It's a thought Might be a bit confusing though...

I think that could be done using something like the ringworld as a base. top and lower third are "space" right now, underground provinces would fit in there pretty well.

Kristoffer made such map to dom1, it has an upper world as well. If you have dom 1 you can download it from the illwinter site and check it out. If you do not have dom 1 you can still download the picture and map file and take a look. The map is called the hollow world.

Fourth map from the top.

G.P.> "large map where no-one can get pinned down by an especially nasty province then let me use it as a base for lost of different random scenarios."

That sounds worthwhile, I'll let ya know when I finish it! Feel free to use the others for randomized maps. As for designing a randomizer, 'fraid I dont have much time for that but I would be happy to offer loads of unsolicited advice

Tera.> "Something with an underground cave system."

I was considering doing that.

Tera.>"just a few places where the caves reach the surface."

I think I would rather have every province connected to the one below/above. I know, it is seldom done in fantasy war games, but many of those games have free traveling while in Dom2 you usually have to expand straight through someone else...

Now, maybe if I make the underground a worthless (baren waste) no-start zone populated by baddies... But I think I like the first idea better, for smoother game play.

Yeah, I know, that's where I got the idea from.
