I had written something to auto-navigate and select map pieces to build an interestring terrain but the screen space was too small and I had to keep scrolling. I found building maps I really wanted a flood fill feature, taking the current brush and flooding into black areas to start with, then flooding into the pattern your cursor is over.
Maybe I will build an exe that surfs over the top of SOM so you guys can see what I mean. :)
That could be an excellent setup. Since SoM saves 'map charts' in text format, it should be very easy to edit them with a 'surf-over' exe. Maybe you could even make it able to hold a library of assembly blueprints for things like islands or castles and then drop the assembly into the map at a specific map coordinate. That could save a lot of assembly time.
