I would still like to make variations of your monster island map Dulac. small maps are fun to play with esp with all the various monsters available.... as for new maps, its just like iryan said it takes 15 hours plus just to play with just one region from ds2.. I remember spending months just trying to alter ds2 regions, to have error after error, it was just time consuming.
but the idea of using snow in the reaches wouldn't be a hard edit if one wants to take the time to change the terrain to snow, matching a 4x grass with a 4x snow etc. would only need to change 1 file on the map side with text editor really as terrain is probably one of the easier fixes. although it may not look pretty... those are some great ideas presented...

It's tough to put a map together. I've come to the conclusion that's probably best done in a team. I failed at finishing all my map projects due to the amount of work they take. I'm thinking about expanding the original DS2 map sometime in the future by using portals that lead to short levels called realms. It's best to try to keep it simple.
