This is the first time I've ever posted on a forum--Civ IV is cool enough to make me delurk.
Anyway, this is a map of Beleriand, from the First Age of Tolkien's Middle Earth. I used as a base a very zoomed-out screenshot of the map from my favorite Civ II scenario, Dagor Bragollach: Battle of Sudden Flame, stretched vertically a bit, and started tracing, then ran it through the BMP to WBS program.
It's got height, terrain, features, and rivers, but not resources; it was run through at a setting of seven civilizations and it needs tweaking for things like starting locations, etc. Unfortunately, its X-Y dimensions are 126 by 80 and on my 1.1 GHz Celeron, 320 MB Ram, 64 MB GeForce3 Ti rig it takes five-plus minutes to open the darn thing, so I'm not really in a position to make changes until I've saved enough for an upgraded rig.
Anyway, here it is, along with the bitmaps, knock yerselves out wi' it.
