I tried to correct the white dots, but on my photoshop files I couldn't noticed them. I saved it now as a TIFF-file and I didn't see the dots in them.

you can find these 'larger' files here:

While the map is in BETA Play, there are a couple of administrative tasks that are required of the mapmaker(s) in addition to the initial gameplay testing:

1. Please ensure that the first post of the thread contains all the necessary information to help future visitors to the development thread; it's particularly important to ensure the most recent images are there, along with any helpful guides (such as gameplay quirks/nuances or the location/size of any starting neutrals etc.)
2. Please update the Map Information Portal with details of your map
3. Finally, it is the responsibility of the mapmaker(s) to ensure that they respond to further feedback in a timely and constructive manner.

Is that a sign of quality, mapsimplicity or not enough people interested in commenting about it ?
good job.
