I would like to share something I tried, to my satisfaction. Using a MPQ Editor I was able to adjust the "rmg" file in the "gs" folder so as to eliminate the amount of water that was generated. Now, creating 128x128 maps through the random map generator gives a lot more land for the random placement of items with very good effect. Just throw in some "villages" & you have a very playable map minus a lot of work. However, the lack of trees/fauna & mountain terrain makes the maps a bit less pleasing to the eye...but, one can add these things if one desires, though they are not necessary for game play.
I will add, for anyone interested in doing this, here is my adjustment: the original # was 4, after some experimenting...3 worked great for my purposes.
