Heh, silly me. I misread the post I responded to as being about the common criticism of the game being difficult to navigate before you get the compass spell and overhead view. "Higher levels" can be read two different ways. :-)

I still agree, though. The map spell was a mistake, and I'll have to keep that in mind as I design the new game.
