You're very welcome elmokki. I was going to wait and see if there were any further reports of problems, fix them, and then append it to your riverlands map thread.

It took me over 15 hours to fix everything.......Nothing compared to creating a map, I know ... I wish I had artistic skills...
Huh, 15 hours? I don't think I spent more than 5 making the map, but that definately shows with the phantom provinces and lacking connections etc. Those are the most boring part and I've generally just tried to get them finished as quickly as possible. I've tried to be more careful with them lately, but then again a 200+ province wraparound isn't something I'm planning to do again anytime soon.

And no, it doesn't really require any artistic skill to draw some continents and borders and slap in graphics someone else has drawn.
