Btw, the map you chose looks awesome. It looks like the generator even put a choke point island towards the middle. Great map.

It takes forever for me to finish a map.

I literally spend days just generating maps until I find ones that look cool. Then I go in an photoshop it up (usually add few straits) then edit it so all the water and land provinces that looks like they should be connected are. Then I go though and flag all the land provinces that only border 3 or less other land provinces and sea provinces that border 2 or less sea provinces as "no start". Then I make sure that all the mountain blocking makes sense, removing a lot of connections that shouldn't be there. This time around I marked some of the Border Mountains as normal Mountains.

Tweaking the map is a long process for me, I hope everyone likes it.
