Dang..... that's epic.

@Everyone: I won't be doing any size larger than 16 for sure (I've got a decent gaming pc and 19 would end up being overkill).

So I decided to do slightly smaller maps and still make it larger.
So instead of one 17 map with all the regions in it, I'll do four different maps which are size 14-15. Easier on everybody, and I'll get more space for it :P

From what I'm reading most people can play a fourteen to fifteen size map (play not build) without trees and it's fine (minimal trees) so I'll go fifteen and try to keep forest's to a minimum 8-)
