Thanks, Daynarr.
The no borders thing is out of necessity. There are so many ways of defining what areas belong to which province and how to draw the borders that it was just not viable to do it. Besides, I'd still be drawing them on the map if I had done it that way and the project would never have gotten finished.
Besides, the current tga file is easier to modify now. If you want a map with fewer provinces, just fill in the white pixels and put new ones where you want them and you'll get a whole different map. In fact, I might be inclined to do one if time permits and there is interest for one.
The reason why this one is so huge is that I'm a fan of gigantic maps myself, and of the Forgotten Realms as well, so it was rather natural to go for an epic map.
