    I wanted to get another layout of a map I am playing, and was curious about what would happen if I just rendered it on a default new region. Since the renderer doesn't care where you get your .jpg file as long as it fits, this worked because my .jpg was the default size.

    Here is a snap of the new region, taken by the Region Census program then rotated (and fixed up with the GIMP) to be more or less orthogonal.

    The layout is the one you get by default when you create a new region. If you wanted a different layout, all you really have to do is modify the config.bmp that you get, erase the city files and re-render. My machine rendered this in about 15 minutes.

    If anyone is interested in this Landscape Designer map, it is on the STEX here.
