Default Streamlands (93 + 10, wraparound)

"Once upon a time an powerful being close to godhood saw a world he fancied much. That world was a large world with an elaborate network of rivers. The being wanted to make himself such a world, but alas, his powers were limited, and his creation was smaller and simpler than the world he made this world an image of."

Basically I felt creative and did an another one-afternoon map. It became slightly smaller than I wished, but oh well. For once I used the method with more work but better results for creating wraparoundiness - actual copypaste instead of just looking at numbers. As result borders near the wrap-area look far better than in my other wraparounds.

The name and the story obviously refer to the map's big brother, Riverlands. The maps' preview pictures might look different, but that's largely due to me positioning lakes to the edges this time to make it easier to do the wraparound.

Rivers connect water provinces.

EDIT: Fixed connection between 79 and 80 on 30.1.2010. Thanks to Frozen Lama for pointing it out.
EDIT: 8-11 and 1-103 fixed on 9.5.2010, thanks to Squirreloid and Frozen Lama for pointing those out.
I personally won't link to Dominions 3 content made by me any more and I hope no-one else will either (old links are fine, whatever). You should be able to find them or most of them by asking on IRC or googling the other forums

A well spent afternoon indeed. The map is a polished clean wraparound. Well done!

Thank you for pointing it out. This is exactly why pretty much all my maps need testing, as I don't play enough singleplayer to actually squat all the problems out.

The problem was obviously tiny so I could be arsed to fix it. New version is up at the first post.

I love this map: nice and small, no annoying sea vs land nation issues to deal with, wraparound.

Corrections to connections that I found:
add 8-11
add 1-103
remove 79-95
add 35-51
add 51-52

I don't know if this is a good place to post these. Should I PM Elmokki?
