Obviously I like First World, and have enjoyed my test games using it.

That said, the more I play it the more I find dubious borders and provinces that are scaled a tad small. As it was my first map attempt, I didn't realize the importance of saving a master copy of the map, with separate layers

My only real option, then, would be to stretch them image and hope the quality doesn't drop too far, and edit the .map file to ensure the in-game borders more closely resemble those that I've drawn. (I've been putting my spare time into working on new, hopefully more polished maps, which has kept me from trying this out.)

Still, it's a perfectly serviceable map, with problems that are really just cosmetic.

A question, Valerius: Is construction 8 empty of items? I understand you left some high level unique non-craftable items in for random events, but is there anything else?

Also, have you tweaked astral sites at all? Or am I just having poor luck? In a play through with an astral pretender I ended up finding only 2 non-capital sites after probing the my two-thirds of the map. These accounted for 2 pearls as opposed to the 60 or 70 gems I was pulling in (without having searched for any death, and only minor looks into water and fire).
