New map by Jason Lutes

[liga]

Yes ... it is really a great map! I like very much the idea of the port .. it could be a perfect map for a boardgame ... have you never try to work in bordgames graphics ?

And about new maps idea ... there are two settings I really like and would like to see in a so nice Version (i have found some maps on the net of these setting but are really poor):

The world of Warhammer Fantasy
The worl of a Game of Thornes

good play and thks again!

Very very nice job.

Tiny question, if you may:
The rivers themselves are not navigatable, correct? That is, I cannot travel between bodies of water connected by a river if I am a water nation / water traveller?
I ask because this is the way that water neighbors work on the "Karan" map, which I have come to love, and which seems to make sense to me.
(Just wondering if I understand correctly.)
Thank you very much!

PS. Please let me know if this was intentional, but I think there are a few tiny neighboring errors:

- 151 and 128 are neighbors
- 101 and 117 are neighbors

hope that is maybe helpful?

EDIT: I'm a computer moron, never tried this before, but I opened up the "map" file with word pad (hope that is right?!). Anyhow, I took out those two "neighbors" commands by just deleting the text, and I tested it and I dont think I broke anything. I suppose that was easy enough to do that I shouldn't bother sending the file to someone??
Thanks once again for your excellent job, will try it out now with a water nation!

Wow. A map of Martin's Westeros would touch me in my happy spot. That would be unbelievably cool.

That's correct, they are non-navigable. I know it's a little weird -- especially since on this map water nations can't cross rivers just like land-based nations -- but I was more comfortable with it that way. I love Targa's maps and the way he uses rivers, but my bias is against the water nations -- they're too scary to have popping up unexpectedly in one's back yard!

Thanks for the error-check, thinktank. I caught those mistakes and they are corrected in the updated .map file, which I think Kristoffer has uploaded to the Illwinter site at this point. What you did with notepad should work fine, but you might want to download the new .map file just in case (especially if you plan to play any pbem games on it).

And please keep me informed of any other problems you come across!

At the risk of making a complete fool of me: where can I download it?
