Does Dominions II have maps from Dom I?

[Nerfix]

The title should say it all, but i am intrested if the maps "Cimmeria" and "The Old World" are in Dominions II?

[johan osterman]

No, but you should be able to convert them without to much trouble. They would be uglier than the new ones though.

[Nerfix]

Hmmmm, too bad, they are two of my favorite maps.
I think i'll leave the converting for someone who can do it.

I especially thought the 'Old World' map was pretty cool - I guess if we were to give the new nations starting places close to the cultures they were inspired by it would have to get a lot bigger though

[Nerfix]

We need, literaly, a World Map.

if you are able to use Paint* in windows, then you are able to make a dominions map Nerfix. It just a question of time.

I'm not the man for this job.
I could have made a Dom I map, but Dom II...

And i refuse to make ugly maps!
And if the Europe map was big, think about world map!

If i will ever make a game, it will propably have vector graphics...

I am quite fond of the Old World myself. It took a multitude of hours to paint. At the time I was obsessed with making each pixel more or less right. Scotland and the greek coast left me almost feebleminded (I did loose one eye ). A remake is possible, but I'll have to muster time and energy to do it.

A world map migt be unbalanced, unless you move some nations to other parts of the world (caelum -> himalaya or north america, marignon/vanheim -> north america as colonizers). Perhaps with multiple starting locations it would work out fine.

An Europe-Asia map would be fine otherwise, but where are we supposed to place Mictlan?
Having a whole world map migth definedly be unbalancing(with the "realistic" starting places), Mictlan would be happily summoning Belphegor&Co while The rest of the nations are killing each other in Europe...
Placing R'lyeh in the Bermuda Triangle area migth help however...

Abysia could be placed in Atacama or some big North American desert, Australia, or perhaps Desert of Gobe.
Caelum could either start in Siberia or Himalaya.
Machaka in South Africa.
If you want to make evil political references, Ermor in North America...

Miticlan would probably go in North America (western part) since they are Aztec kind of nation.
