I haven't played for years, but last year I started thingking about POV's
potential for creating maps. I created a couple unfinished macros to test
the idea. The macros provided nice results but are RAM and CPU intensive. To
make a long story short, you define a map one hex shapped cell at a time.
Parameters can be set for different soild types, vegetation, water, rocks,
etc....

I will dig them out tomorrow and render a test image for you. If you are
interested in the results, I'll be more thatn happy to give the macros to
you.
