Way too much water==how do i set the game to reduce the water tiles?

from Stardock Forums

Like the title says way too much water that is taking up valuable real estate--what files do i need to change to cut down on the water tiles?

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

 

Edit: Just noticed i put this in the wrong forum--can a mod move this to the modding forum please?

Edit CoreMaps.xml.  Specifically the bit which goes

 

    <WaterPercentageMin>20</WaterPercentageMin>

    <WaterPercentageMax>40</WaterPercentageMax>

 

Need to do it for each map size.  They all have different percentages...

Good idea to back up the original file first.  Or make a changed file in ...\Documents\My Games\FallenEnchantress\Mods
