Strange Interaction Between Taming List "Distance" and Map Sizes.

[Akeno017]

So I was playing with a Modmap called Valhalla, and was curious to see the size of the map compared to the usual Official repertoire.

To do this I spawned a Lystro at the furthest corner of each map, and creative mode flew to the corner of the next edge, taking the distance in Km rounded to the nearest 100m.

The Results as follows:
Island: 6,800m
Crystal Isles: 12,700m
Ragnarok: 13,000m
Valhalla: 12,800m

These values seem rather strange to me (Considering CI is supposed to be larger then Rag?) so I thought I'd share to see if anyone else can explain it. Perhaps the taming list is just buggy at this distance.

The devs explained the sizes of the maps in square kilometers and said that rag was 144 sq km and that CI is 150 sq km. No idea about the taming distance discrepancy but they may be counting the underwater area and applying it to the surface size to count it as a cumulatively larger map.

Yeah - surface area - so like the floating islands with land underneath count double ....
