I've been slowly working on this map when I have free time. I'm very much a newb w/ gimp, so it will probably be a while yet before it's playable. Is there a way to select all the white pixels to change them to another color so you can add province centers?

I'm planning to collapse the water in the right quadrant, turning it into a river w/ a few land choke points. This way water nations won't end up so spread out. I'll probably need to expand the water in the upper left and delete island on the edge . As it stands it's going to be difficult to divide up borders without it being way more provinces than something I'd want to play on. Was hoping to make it suitable for 8-10 +2 water sized games.

I also plan to make it wraparound, but haven't yet attempted to touch up the edges so everything meshes well.

I know it probably needs marsh areas spread about, and maybe icons or something for farmlands? Are there any other obvious things from a strategic standpoint? I've learned in the process that mountains so close to coast make it kinda choke-pointy, so I may shift those around a bit.

Also, does any one have suggestions for the look of the interior province borders? I've tried a few different styles but haven't found one I've been really satisfied with yet.

You should be able to use the select by colour tool with a threshold of one to select just that shade of white. The map looks good, but it's pretty small, it will look quite pixelated in game.

Thanks! I will try that out.

It's actually 1920x1200... just shrunk a bit for the preview pic. Hopefully it will still look alright in game. I guess I need to load it in the map editor and see before I do any more work on it.
