Any map that doesn't have a yellow star next to it will allow you to do this (star denotes 'scenario' with other races pre-chosen).

Map Editor,
I loaded Inland, turned off Wrap Around, saved it under a differnt name. It doesnt show up though on pick a game to play. How do I get this map to play ?
No idea why this didn't work. You could always load "inland.map" (found in dominions2/maps dir) in a text editor, delete #wraparound and save it under another name.

How do you get/change trees and terain on the map editor? Do I need to buy photo/paint shop or what ever its called ?
The in-game map editor is not built for changing the graphics. Yes, you'd need to use a graphics program to make your own, or you can download and teach yourself how to use GIMP (a free graphics program).

This game has every thing, except one thing, a random map generator. It seems, the maps that came with the game are for some one elses style of play.
It has two random map generators. DomMap, which you can find here:
http://www.ont.com/~keldon/dommap.html

And PhilD's Version, which Gandalf Parker runs to provide randomly generated maps every day. You can find them here:
http://www.techno-mage.com/~dominion...humbnails.html
http://www.techno-mage.com/~dominion...s2/RandomMaps/

You can also download player-made maps at Illwinter's site, here:
http://www.illwinter.com/dom2/maps.html

Edit: I noticed that you said, "It doesn't show up on 'pick a game to play'." I figured that was just a slip in terminology, but just to be precise: Your non-wraparound Version won't show up on "pick a game to play", but rather under "create a new game\\\choose map".
