Howdy. I have recently been looking through some old Dom2 maps and many of them are very nice and around the size I like to play on - either side of 100 or so provinces. As many people have pointed out, map editing has changed relatively little and therefore most of these maps will run as is. However many of them seem, to me at least, to need some tweaking. I'm no map guru, I only just fired up the editor for the first time today, but I think I can improve and upate a few of them. So in this thread I'll do just that, covering an updated map in each post, giving credit to the author and uploading the files needed to use it. I hope to include the original .map file, along with my updated ______ Som.map file and I'll also throw in a NI _____ Som.map file too, for those who like No Indy maps (I know I play virtually nothing else).
Do please feel free to post here and point me to solid looking Dom2 maps that could do with a bit of tweaking to nostart settings, underwater race settings, terrain types, population sizes etc. You can also request NI versions of any maps - it would be helpful if you pointed me to the map though.
Anyway, here's what I've done so far.
