the problem with how busy the map is, is not really a problem at all. you could construct a sprite that is really just a blob of sprites and use that. i will make a few for the plains and swamps and post a new screen. it won't be perfect, i have to do a little updating of the code that puts in the sprites before it will be, so you will probably see some stuff sticking out into the water, but it's an issue that's slated to be handled.

as far as the brightness goes, like i keep saying, you can change the colors an sprites to whatever you like
