How big this idea actually is!

its rather easy to load the gmaps to see the actual size of GK's overall world. Main is a little bigger yes, but I do not think it would be to hard to fix this. The kingdom islands could use a few extra water tiles anyways.

Main.gmap is 40 x 40 levels
all other kingdom gmaps 32 x 32

A few water tiles around the edges wouldnt be so hard, its actually just down to the fact of saving a few levels into an expanded gmap.

**Number Crunching
Each kingdom is missing 576 levels around its current gmap
because.. 32 + 8 is adding up to 4 new water tiles on all 4 sides.
40x40 = 1600
32x32 = 1024
1600 - 1024 = 576
576 x 5 kingdom gmaps 2880
and then 5 gmap updates for those kingdoms would bring it up to 2885 files being added atleast

Then theres the completion of the 3x3 inner ring which would be another 3 gmaps.. if your counting thats 1600 level files each... 4800 levels

..K enough gibberish.. actual numbers

an actual 3x3 grid area would mean this to GK
5(32*32) = 5120 levels renamed
5((40*40)-(32*32)) -> 5(1600-1024) = 576
576 levels being added... to each kingdom...
5(1024+576) = 8000 levels being checked/updated
3(1600) additional levels being added
-> TOTAL 12,800

This might take some time, maybe we should have some patience...
In reality, its just tedious work to start fixing the minor bugs and other issues.

**footnote, 5x5 would take an additional 25,600 levels and 16 gmaps being added.
