You havn't seen it yet. It is the Ragnarök map. A three layered world of Norse Mythos. It is an overly ambitious project of mine that will take some time to finish.

You can also see the first sprites of a new underwater nation.

Well look at that!

It could be a new theme, for Pangaea maybe... Nature/water race? Do you know what W3N2 mages can cast? Bone Melter!

The Capricorn comes with 3N 2W 1R.

It begun as a theme for Atlantis but have evolved into an entirely new underwater nation.

It is more or less finished. Needs testing and descriptions and heroes and stuff.

Do you just love to drop bombs? Or is this the standard programmer "Ive worked on it so long that I forgot it was new"?
(which is also part of the problem with getting programmers to document)

..., if I were to create a map for everyone, what size people would like it. I mean, how many provinces are too many?
I remember one of the developers saying that the maximum number of provinces is 500. So making a map over 500 provinces probably won't work.
I would love to see a map with 470 provinces or more.

There would be 50-Times as many maps available for download if the game had a normal map editor.

For me it's as big as you can make them. I always seem to clash with the AI too soon.
Cheers,
