Hi there

The various flavours of COSMOS games (War of a Dark God and War on
Cofain) comes with monochrome and color maps. The maps have the
following additional features:

-The maps are (of course updated each turn)
-You can choose between PostScript, PDF og GIF maps (the latter in
various resolutions)
-Maps can be send to your registered account or displayed online
-You can reorder your maps via e-mail or webinterface for the last 10
turns
-You and turn display of army icons on or off
-You can share your map with your allies (and the annoated mapnotes
BTW)

The map features are described here:
