Haven't checked it out yet, sounds strangely familiar though. :D
I was going to try and put together an Alexander map for pothos a long time ago but after talking the details over with my techie friends, I found it was far more than I could handle. I wanna wait until I get to my home computer to look this over though. I always thought a Google earth map of Alexander's campaign would be fun to mess around with.
Thanks for posting the link!
