Right, but this isn't Axis & Allies where every island has a surrounding sea zone.

hey torvak how would i go about changing this so that these do have sea zones in the word file?

As Norfleet pointed out it's not done with just two clicks. The game/editor looks in the .tga for white dots (RGB all 255) starting bottom left corner and going up line for line. Now if you add or remove any dots it screws up everything above it (and to some degree below).

The solution would be to write a program that inserts the info into the .map file and changes all province numbers and connections. Or do it manually.

333: Mountain
248: Forest Mountain
182: Forest Mountain
150: Forest Mountain
260: Forest Mountain

I didn't really put that as farmland background but for some colorization.

It is.

Thanks, Torvak! I've updated the copy I'm hosting on my site.

[Kristoffer O]

We are updated as well. Not mentioned in the news though.

Hey thanks tons.
Could someone tell me if it is possible for a non-programmer like myself to change it so that maps read "World Map" or "Nice Map Whatever" instead of "Map with XXX provinces"?

[Torvak]

Open world.map with the wordpad and change the line beginning with #dom2title to whatever you want.

[Saber Cherry]

Edit the .map file with Wordpad or Notepad.

code:

---

-- Title and image file

#dom2title A map with 339 provinces.

---

...change that line to somethning else=)
