I seem to only see one Map or it appears that way in the screen shots. Can you make your own maps?

Have a look at the counter graphics/map size limits thread below. [8D]

Making new maps is a non-trivial task but possible once we get the supporting editors organized. We went to some effort to make all the files external and leave hooks in so that they can be replaced. I know that Marc S has something up his sleeve and once I have a couple of hours I'll pull it all together. Mainly it is a matter of revising the existing documentation and making a few little things a little easier to do.
Patience!

Please, please hurry with the map editor. I have a CD with Germany in all of its topographic glory.

A "non-trivial task", hmm.. ? I like that phrase, might come in very useful at work one day..

Depends on the detail of the maps and data attached to the maps, it a GIS system actually, with different map resolutions, height data that can be rendered into a greyscale image etc. etc. [;)]

It's from 1:200,000 up to 1:1,000,000. The 1:200,000 is a perfect scale for FPG. I think I would actually play over topo maps than the beautiful maps that Ian did. BTW not that anyone remembers, but it was from my maps that Iain was able to create the Borde, and Three Sister maps[:D]
