(note: I went looking at the mapedit.pdf to see how I could have misunderstood that. Is it just me or is that command missing?)

It affects map zoom but flags/building icons are fixed relative to this value.
So a flag will take "50% less space" in a province is mapzoom is set to 2 for example.
However by doing so the map looks initially more pixellated. You can then zoom out as you want, but the icons will resize correspondingly smaller...
Is that clear ?

Much, thank you. It sounds like we could use another map command to set the pageup/pagedown zoom level seperately. Hmmmm no that might be too much. Too many petty little commands can intimidate new people from trying mapping. Ishould write up something on "a minimum map project". Kindof like what the Jotun walkthru does for playing the game. Someone might consider that for modding also

Hi there,

Just doing some SP on this awesome map.

I noticed that poor R'lyeh started in province#120, which is a sea province surrounded by non-sea provinces on all sites.

Would it not make sense to mark province 120 as nostart?

Cheers,
Thomas

Speaking of province 120 (Blackwater), it appears to now be of type plains (Grabbed latest .map file as of today). Vanheim's pretender is going to be most displeased when he finds out his army is at the bottom of a lake, and not in a lovely meadow

Love the map.. Chokepoint heaven.

Is there a working download site for any of Jason's work anywhere? The links on http://www.illwinter.com/dom2/maps.html currently do not work.

thanks!

The IW links appear to be working fine for me as of this moment. Please try them again. If you still have problems, I can put the maps up for d/l from my site.
