Default Re: Solo scenarios, can someone make them ? ;)

Hmmm I had a thought for a really hard game. Most of the map is land. Up in the corner is an island with 10 provinces or so. The island is surrounded by all of the sea. 20 provinces or so, Maybe 2 seas with a really small land bridge.
The game has Ermor on the island by itself, the sea has both water nations. All 3 of them are allied and at high AI

If the random map generator worked Id do this for now the idea needs someone willing to make a map

New thought. Or maybe this should go into the GIMP thread. Anyway, since Dom2 doesnt seem to actually USE the province lines for anything...

What if you made a map from something like one of the USGS satellite images? And didnt paint any borders on it at all. If the "white dots" 255/255/255 that mark the capitals were set as "transparent" in the TGA save, would the Dom2 game really care? Oh well, just a wild thought. A photorealistic map with no visible boundaries all over it and not even the white dots to give clues. Only the grey flags that appear when you are moving on the map.
