Try The Kingdom of Karan map. Once you do, you will never torture your eyes again playing World Map.
Eye candy is not the determining factor in the playability or fun of scenarios for everybody. Personally, while I like looking at beautiful maps, I tend to value the actual setup and gameplay higher, and the worldwar scenario has a very nice setup.

That does not mean that I would not appreciate a more beautiful worldmap, of course, but it is not essential to my enjoyment.

The default maps are at least functional...the world map is a horrific mess of a totally incomprehensible coloration. I felt as if someone poked me in the eye with an electric cattle prod after I fired it up...

There is a much better looking World map now available on my site for download. You can thank Torvak for it.

Torvak's map is very pretty and matches the style of the other Dom2 maps more closely, but I do notice that there seems to be a somewhat tenuous correlation between the terrain depicted on the map, and the terrain flags actually checked. Looks real nice, though. Maybe I'll go through it and patch up the missing things.

Torvak just announced he intended to do redo his a bit. I guess I'll wait until he's finished with his touchup before I go and nitpick it again.
