Gandalf, about the tower map wraparound, couldn't you just manually edit the connections between the top and bottom provinces so they're connected? I haven't done any mapping but I had the impression that province connections were editable, and there would only be a few provinces that needed to be tweaked.

Yes, that would be very easy to do. Good catch on your part.
And when I run batches of tower maps I see ones which have a small ocean covering the bottom and the top which would make it even easier. Maybe 5 or 6 connections to make.
Unfortunately the game pukes if you do anything in those provinces where it has to try and paint an arrow all the way across the map. OUCH. In fact it seems to hate drawing arrows that go off of the screen to far at all.
Other map efforts have had the problem also. Such as creating "dungeons" on the side of the map which can be entered thru "caves" elsewhere. Or map-created portals which go long distances. I havent figured out the maximum length of an arrow but Im guessing that its different for everyones machine. It might also be dependent on the pixels of the map. Really large higher resolution maps might make it work harder.
