The general idea is to make an exact copy of NotD II or NotD III. The only difference should be in terrain and, slightly, in creeps. I'm planning a big city similar to one from NotD surrounded by forest and hills and some facility outside.
Now the funny part: for now we're doing it on our own with a friend of mine, who has the same mapping experience as I do, meaning none. Yet, we have some experience in programming. We have started with nothing and for now only a part of the map and some basic scripts are completed. Chance of getting help from the original NotD developers equals zero, at least for now.
Basically, what we have is just will to do a good map.
I request some basic, later advanced, help from both experienced mapmakers or just people willing po participate. That includes participating in development or just consent to be bugged occasionally via ICQ or Skype.
Here's my contacts:
ICQ: 299821381
Skype: ruthrog.eatir
P.S. With or without NotD developers consent, I'm going to try to copy and recreate NotD systems completely, including the loading system. Yet what I'm not going to do without their consent is making experience gain possible, so don't you worry
