You know- I had so much in mind before ultimately scraping most of the content. Not only because of the deadline but because I had doubts about having everything beworking flawlessly and being polished. But the world map was one thing I didn't want to leave out - so thank you for noticing it!
Sounds like a weird bug, I also did encounter it once but didn't give it much attention, I should probably make a fail system around that going in the polishing stage. Thanks for telling me and playing the game!
