Default Wrap-around maps suck

I have a hard time navigating around them. They are so inconvenient. I don't see why they exist.

Because different people have different tastes?

Perhaps also to simulate a non-flat world? Sort of like a globe?

I prefer non-wrapping maps also. You know you can turn that off. Its just one line that says #wraparound.

It allows map to be designed "without edges" (which can facilitate game balance for multi-player games), and is an interesting feature which you can easily just not use if you don't want to. I tend to prefer maps with edges too, in general, but it's an interesting feature.

Oh, so all I need to do was just erase that line? LOL.
