Looking at my web page for random maps
www.dom2minions.com/~dominion/Dominions2/RandomMaps/RandomMaps.html
Im thinking that it might be interesting to do a CGI which will allow making a map. One that allows putting in all of the tons of parameters and then generating a map would be great, then allowing other choices. DomMap, or my various map extending programs, have all of the switches necessary.
Anyway, I thinking....
set the size, amount of water, amount of impassable borders, stuff like that. And then generate a page full of thumbnails of just blank land and sea maps.
Then select from the various color schemes and let it re-do the map adding in the terrains.
then select from various map extensions:
logical province names, special sites, scattered independent owned castles, random monster placements, special AIs, logical independents, middle earth, age of chivalry, etc etc.
It could be carried further into web-based creation of a MOD to go with it. Anyway, then its all zipped up and linked for download. Could be fun. The exe side of it I can handle (dommap, map generation, map extensions) if someone wants to tackle the web-side (form and cgi). It COULD even be tied into Mohansens as a "make a map" option
