I've been sifting through the 'net looking for a good area map that takes into effect the landscape involving the height of the Roman Empire through the Dark Ages. The site I've located online thus far that roughly covers a good size area of what I would like to reincorporate / modify would be : http://www.euratlas.com/time1.htm
I've been suggested to use software such as Campaign Cartographer and similar products, but I don't have the skill nor the patience to mess with CAD-like products. What I am hoping to accomplish is to find some map out there that covers the territory as alluded in the link in the above paragraph that has the terrain features that you'd come to expect in a regular D&D d20 style campaign map. The catch would be that I would be able to load it into an editor and change the names, political boundaries, and perhaps some of the terrain to reflect certain what-if scenarios I'm wanting to run (if the Roman empire had thrived, a celestial event falls upon the landscape; forever changing its terrain, etc.).
Any ideas, locations, easy-to-use applications are sincerely appreciated. Thanks!
