Excellent software for mapmakers

Hm I don't know. I prefer 2d maps for Dominions. Actually the AoM map editor's 3d maps can be ok, but this HoMM5 map screenshot...well I don't like it too much, but maybe its just me. If there would be a way to make it 2d looking..that would be awesome.

Gandalf, you will love this. I've found a gem. The game is called Kohan: Ahriman's Gift, and the map editor of the game is fantastic. Look at these screenshots. These would be perfect for Doms 3. maps. The game is old, so it will be hard to find but its not impossible.

I have Kohan (someplace). I may have to dig it up

Cool, Venus Flytraps! I have Kohan but forgot to install it, because I was too busy with Dom2. Maybe I'll get to it tonight... OOOH MY DWARFS IS STARVING NEVERMIND

Guys, if you install Kohan...please make a testmap with mountains, hills, water, sand and obstacles.

I think that this map editor would be excellent also.
There are like 7 terrain types + water, trees, mountains, buildings and various other stuff to place.

The Kohan maps look well suited to Dominions.

For anyone interested, I have uploaded another Age of Mythology map to the Dom2 map forums:
