>That gives me a very technological vibe
That image is from a more fancified third party thing. The map you get in the default game looks more like this.

btw this is a little something I noticed awhile AFTER I designed the map. Just using the complete good one for the background
Juan Gutierrez
eh... I still prefer the fancified version you first showed. Looks a bit techhy without hurting my eyes to look at.

That's not dorf fort, that's

It's more about the map itself than what it looks like. If you have photoshop you can take the map the game gives you and turn it into something like this.

Perfect world is also fun for generating land masses.
Lincoln Turner
How do you even get your map to look like that exactly?

Someone made a plugin for photoshop that'll take your dorf fort map and turn it into a map like that. The "Legends Viewer" in that image is something completely different and displays those boxes and lines on top of the map made by the photoshop plugin.

Someone's trying something similar using python that doesn't require photoshop, pic related. It doesn't look nearly as sophisticated, but it might suit a non-modern setting more since it doesn't look like it was done by satellite imaging.

Oh, very neat.
Though yeah I can't be arsed grabbing Photoshop again. Still, I don't think the python script makes as good looking maps. It doesn't seem to handle rivers at all.
Oh, going from there to the forums, there's a GIMP version.
