Travelling through the barren lands is treacherous. On well-prepared adventurers make it through. Do you have what it takes?

Some of the results are really great! There are a few main issues when it comes to creating maps with it:

The max resolution right now is 1024x1024, which is passable for a small battlemaps like random encounters, but not for larger settings
Little control over the specifics of the map--even when given detailed prompts it won't include many.
Many that it makes don't make sense. Roads + rivers starting/ending randomly. Too much clutter. No exits/entrances for the map.
Usually lacks a focal point for the map. The "Vary (Region)" feature that came out recently it helpful for adding it, but even this is finnicky.

I enjoy playing around with it, but it is not like you can press a button and have a good working map by any means.
