That's the worst! :)
Hopefully, I can take out a little of the sting by letting you know that I've
made good progress with the GIS -> Xconq import scipt.
Here's the original landcover image I'm working with (review again):

Here's what I have currently in Xconq:

You can discern the similarities. Everything looks shifted to the right and
leaning as Xconq uses the Cartesian oblique coordinate system; I must
translate the ascii source file before I write the Xconq terrain file.
It's important to note that the Xconq map was automatically created
exclusively with my script. I speculate that I may someday have a "map
making" web interface. You should be able to simply enter the lat/long of
your desired map along with the desired grid size and get the Xconq terrain
map and image out.
Kind of like an Xconq map vending machine.

correctly):
