I have done nothing more than create the heightmap from the image. It is a largely featureless map, with little variation of tile heights, no variation of tiles or distribution of doodads. The use of this terrain is for the outline. Because of the relatively small dimensions (I wanted this to be fully functional on the normal world editor), the tiles merge a bit together (for example Spain has a land border with Morocco, as does Yemen and Djibouti). Some things are also a bit small, particularly in Europe, but it is all proportional. It may look a bit weird in the minimap image on this upload but that is because of the typical blurry rendering done to generate minimaps.
If you don't like a part of this world map, feel free to edit it if you plan to use it as a template. I don't care particularly for any credit either, because quite frankly more credit is deserved for DarkLord's tool, a sorely underused tool by the mapping community. Feel free to use this template however you wish.

This is the 480x288 version. It still suffers from negative traits described above, albeit in a lesser form because of its increased size.
