Well no I don't HAVE a new map done. YET. While I see there are a few Middle Earth maps around here I did notice that with every one of them it just proves you can't please everyone all the time.
Now I've recently just got back into Civ III and discovered the wonderous customizing that can be done. Having just a little TOO much fun I'm actually contemplating making a new map.
Not just any map no.. and not just any Middle Earth map. Rather the idea is a map that will please even the Tolkien purists (if that is even possible) who will no doubt point out every little detail left out that they believe can be fit on a Civ III map.
Really I only want to make it for my own personal use but I figure what the heck. If I'm going to even try it I might as well do it right. To that end I will be seeking a great deal of constructive criticisms and personal opinions.
So what I've got is a 256x256 map. The largest I believe allowed by the editor.
So question #1. How many really want someone to make this map..
and #2 Do you want the entire continent or zoomed in from South Gondor up north to where? Obviously the question here is the level of detail.
Personally what I'm looking for is just the ultimate map for ME to have fun playing whatever it is I want to play with good civs and really really evil civs whom, being a serious pain in the butt.. I get to thrash into non-existance.
What I will NOT do is add scenario/mod related stuff. 1: What I want to do myself is not what others will want. 2: Once the map is done I don't care who does what with it and there are enough talented people here who can do that.
Soooo...
