[q]I would consider making (at least some fraction of) the centre lake deep enough for submarines, shipfac and ship striders. A depth of -16 achieves this while still being pathable for most land units (although some will be unable to shoot).

This is quite hard to implement because i would arbitrarily put deep water (-16) between the 2 deep spots which results in:

- spiders (and maybe rovers) being unable to move between north and mid which is contradictory to sparkles idea of having the lanes help each other out (north is definitely a spider spot)

- there will definitely be pathing problems with big ships like shogun because they cant turn around in a small water channel (seen already at south with smaller ships) and i dont want to turn mid into ship/amph only

[q]The tool I've used to texture my last few maps is GIMP. Its interface is a bit imposing but you don't need to know how to use most of it.

how can you apply the texture appropriately (e.g. to fit with hightmap) when building the texture in gimp only? You cant see what you are doing that way and it was hard enough for me to do the textures by hand in springboard where i could instantly see the result of my drawing.
