Posted a map on the first page, what do we think of it? 210 provinces. Is the water grouping fair for R'lyeh?
Looks ok. I hope I end up in that landmass in the southwest. If I make it to the isthmus first I'll have a great chokepoint on that land.

The loop de loop river in the northwest is neat.

"Tube" wraparounds bug me, I'd prefer E-W wrap-around only.

Awesome, Evilhomer. Got you. We now have 10, let's make pretenders. We're using the llamaserver, so you'll send directly there. I think you just have to put the game name in the subject, and send it to the pretender address there. I have that address around here somewhere.

I will make the map E-W wrap-around.

Do we all have the Worthy Heroes mod? I'll post it on the first page.

I've got worthy heroes 1.7b.
I can figure out where to put the map, but where does the .rgb file go?

Edit:

I like the basic geography of that random map, but i'd appreciate it if a few of those border mountains were converted to real mountains, please.

I think the .rgb goes in the same folder, Lazy.

I really don't have any mad editing experience. I thought making it wraparound would be easy, but it doesn't seem to be. Would anyone like to volunteer to make it wraparound or have any suggestions?

I'll take a peek at it, but I don't have any experience. The odds of me achieving are slim. I have some time to kill.

Now are you having trouble with the technical component or the aesthetic component of making it wraparound?

As an alternative, you could try adding cave provinces, providing for some long distance travel.

I am having trouble with all of it. All I did with that map was use the random map generator. That's about the extent of my skill.

Do you have GIMP or Photoshop, Thrawn?
