I've actually wanted to try it for quite a while. Peter, would it be possible for you to create a version of that map that is perfectly colored (the previous versions you have posted have been, AFAICT, antialiased), so that I can map a tile type per color? In that case, I could rather easily put it in just to try it.

loftar, I beg of you to make this the map we use next reset if you like it. The area I delcared as my wanted location for a port is awesome. If you do, then please create a longer river to come down and connect to a lake or something.

My tools aren't designed to be used in this way- they're graphics tools. I'll tinker with it and I'll see if I can't give you a few maps, though. What sizes? 5000x?
Surprise.

Anything that's a multiple by 1000x1000 works fine.

It probably wouldn't be too hard to just post process them in photoshop to get rid of the anti-aliasing if your setup can't restrict itself to a really small pallet (that seems like the wrong spelling, but I can't find the right one)

if peter is using photoshop to make these he should be able to disable antialiasing pretty easily

dunno about other generators

If maps like his were to be used I'd fucking jizz in my own mouth and demand a reset the day it's made.

Yeah, that works.
I'm fine-tuning something I've been playing with for a while. Gimme a couple hours.

@Jest: It's nice knowing that people enjoy my work.

I use Art or Illusion... which is technically a 3D modeling program. With a strictly map-generating program, you wouldn't run into this sort of issue.
