Basically I don't think anyone wants to play a conquest game and have to conquer a 100 square map. That makes no sense. But what if we did a 1000 square maps but squares could be grouped in provinces allowing for groupings that won't be visible to the user but will allow the game to give irregularly shapped groups. So each grid square can have an image say a castle or forest, be a part of a faction and also a member of a province. Should allow for interesting maps though they will take a while to make well. But that is why we have an xml saving map maker in the first place.
