Default old world map

Just so we don't fall short on topics...

I refer to the map for DOM-I.

Now this is a great map. I really like the detail given to starting positions and climate/geography.
Plus it's a quite diffcult.
I wonder if the person that designed it is a member of this forum. I'd like to first commend his great work and second to ask if he has made more maps.

topic subject
BTW,
has anyone tried the elric map?
is it a good map?

perhaps I should post a poll to find out the best created map for DOM-I.

There is never a "best". For any question. There is only Pros and Cons.

As for the Elric map it was an excellent Elric map. As close as anyone could get to creating a theme based map in Dom 1. I hope he will tackle it again with all the new options that Dom 2 will gime him.

Its Kristoffer who made it, he made all the dom 1 maps made by illwinter, that is all maps except: realmwars, hexmap, northamerica, hexblitz, elric and dandellion. He has also made all but one of the dom 2 maps, and that map he has converted from an existing ma of brittain.

BTW, IW people and betatesters, can you give us a primer on the Dom2 maps ?
Will we have our old Dom1 faves ? What are the new cool maps and scenarios/scripted maps ?

The old ones are easy to convert to the dom 2 format, takes a little work but not to much, but they will lokk the same way they used to. Kristoffer has also redrawn the Urgaia map. Currently there is only one* scenario, if I recall correctly.

*EDIT: I remembered wrong, there are 3 scenarios.

That is also wrong, there are 4 that I can think of.
