I've been making a new mod for defcon, combining landmasses from various stories i was writing in the past. It's a new world map!
On the left and right side, there would appear to be two continents coming out of the edges of the map. in the game they would obviously be one continent as the world wraps. That however will be two countries playing on it. The left half and right half will be two players. Kinda like the europe/russia neighbor relationship in the original world.
The playable locations are:
1. West Humaleporis (the map edge continent mentioned above...
2. East Humaleporis ...also known as Rabbit Island)
3. Gloria Unida (the island chain in the northwest which includes a manmade rectangular land for HQ)
4. Xeta ek Avra (the curved sickle shaped continent in the south west)
5. Bretopia (the south-eastern continent including its satellite island)
6. Arias Marquisite (the expansive north-eastern continent and its satellite island)
And if you care about the names at all, the unplayable areas of the map are called:
- Pakuuta Culdrik (central island, including moon-shaped satellite island)
- Subjacent Polaris ("Antarctica" type continent at the south pole)
- Superjacent Polaris (Continent that makes up the north pole area)
I was considering adding 1 decent city for each player on the Pakuuta , and allowing the placement of a silo to defend it. but i thought maybe that would just annoy people so, nah.
News: Four of the nine continents, six playable territories have been vectored. Cities have been placed for each territory as well. Now, I need to finish vectoring, adjust the blur.bmp to match my changes to the coastlines and borders, and adjust and balance out city populations. Once these are achieved, the mod should be ready for release.

hmm, even with that coordinate tool that came out, it's really hard to do the vector coastlines for my map because it's complicated and there's no way to zoom in on the tool (which is basically required if i'm gonna do this lol)
i'll have to wait until the tools get more features i suppose, unless someone wants to give me a hand >.>
I also cannot figure out the travel nodes. the file for it is 800x400 whereas the actual water and sailable bitmaps are 512x284

A screenshot of how progress is on the mod. ^.^
I still got more vector coastlines and territories to finish up, some balancing on city populations, and adjust the blur.bmp further to match it up with my vectors (that'll be a doozy!)
