I don't mind spacing things, but traveling right now is boring... needs 
more maps, i guess :)
Or random encounters, stuff like that.

Sorry, but for me Scorn to Navar takes quite some time. Blame my 
not-too-fast computer, but following the road (there are some places you 
must use it, iirc, since there are uncrossable mountains) is just a 
pain. I still didn't go to Navar, but went to DragonNest by following 
the road till world_111_116 then going south. Going to that 111x116 map 
already takes 5 mins, and i'm not sure how far Navar is after that 
(though if that's coherent with smallworld maps, it should be 5 more 
mins at least).
