Re: Excellent software for mapmakers
Cool, I had an old version of that, and totally forgot about it. I personally like the cartoony maps and Lutes maps, but the fractal mapper is way fun to play with.

Re: Excellent software for mapmakers
That software costs more than the Dominions3 game. Anyone know of some free mapmaking software ?
Yes I already have GIMP.

Re: Excellent software for mapmakers
Gimp actually generates some decent terrain. I was going to make a map off of it but I was too lazy 
Check the attachment for one example
Taking a GIMP map into the maptool in Dom3 might be fun to do though.

Nice looking map. Nice tool I must say. Too bad about price.

Re: Excellent software for mapmakers
I still think that if I dig thru my old OLD games that I can find one that does really nice random map generation and a full-screen view that I can capture.

It does? Dom3 : $54.95. CC3 (given that they still only have the Early Adopter, $44.95 for download only, $51.95 for download plus CD/hardcopy) seems a little cheaper. Then again, it's only a tool and not a game.

Yeah those are the best for Dominions.
Take a look at this CC3 map screenie:
..and you can make even better then this easily with it. I might buy CC3 to generate maps.
