Hey great map so far!
Had to restart the game a few times, however, because of these errors:

120 is labeled plains
167 is labeled plains
121 is labeled sea

I have never done this before, but what I did was open up the map file and look where things looked ok to me and just copied that in. So I erased the "0" at 120 and replaced that with a "4" -- seems to work so far. I hope this is correct?? Can it have repercussions on other things? Well I hope I didnt break it.
thanks much once again
best to you

Awesome map! I'm looking forward to playing many games on it.

I, too was curious about province 120. Is it supposed to be underwater or more like a floodplains?

Crud! I guess I was not as thorough as I should have been in my testing! Thanks a lot, tinkthank. I will edit the file and send Kristoffer yet another update. In the future I will try to get the maps more thorughly playtested before putting them Online.

120 is supposed to be a water province.

What's weird is that in the file I have, 120 and 167 were wrong as tinkthank has noted, but 121 is marked correctly. I can't figure it out.

I'll hold off on sending Kristoffer another update for another day, in case any more errors are detected. Please let me know!

That's correct, they are non-navigable. I know it's a little weird -- especially since on this map water nations can't cross rivers just like land-based nations -- but I was more comfortable with it that way. I love Targa's maps and the way he uses rivers, but my bias is against the water nations -- they're too scary to have popping up unexpectedly in one's back yard!

I know I'm not the only one who's glad for the way you did rivers. On that one map (Karan), several of us have discussed the way the rivers give aquatic nations easy access to almost any area of the land masses. I won't go so far as to say that it's unbalancing, but it certainly is disturbing.
