Thanks everyone for your comments about the new maps. We have really worked very hard on these (Photoshoot, Photoshop, Deep Paint, and a lot of late nights). We wanted to release these prior to Victoria 2 so that people could play around with them before she was finished. Maybe I can address a few of the question in the post. The images on the store show the bump maps at full intensity to emphasize the detail (They can be dialed back to give a less bumpy look if prefered). As for the system requirements, this is the reason that we offered them in both high and standard versions. The standard resolution maps are roughly the same resolution as the previous Victoria and Michael Maps as well as most maps others have created for them. I imagine that people with slower systems may want to buy the high res maps anyway and size them down to whatever resolution will work best for their systems and needs. As for Victoria 2.0 we are hoping that we are really close. Thats what a few of us are are working on while I write this (10:00 PM Friday night) and I expect we will be here for a while longer tonight. We have really put all that we can into creating her, in fact, we estimate that we have spent significantly more time on her than on version 1. We will have upgrade pricing for Victoria 2.0 but we have not annouced what it will be yet. The non-upgrade price will be $59.95 (the same as Victoria 1 is now). We will also have introductory pricing for the upgrades. I have to get back to Victoria 2.0. Sincerely, Dan Farr P.S. The comparison images used on the product pages are comparing the differences in the two resolutions on the same model.
