Heavenfall helpfully noted in the DLC thread that:

"I believe you can turn on normal spawns of resources and monsters by changing <SpecialMap>1</SpecialMap> into <SpecialMap>0</SpecialMap> in the map file."

I'm about to start a fresh game with 1.10 loaded, and I'd like to use one of the DLC handcrafted maps. But I'd also like to have dense monsters and max random events (haven't seen many yet). But, if I alter the special map setting as outlined above, will it over-ride the hand placed lairs, NPC's, and features? Anybody know?

Thanks!

Edit: Well, it appears that the large Anthy's map is the only one using the Special Map 1 setting. At least, the Wildlands and Curgen's Maps are set to zero. Still, if anyone does know what impact reverting to SpecialMap 0 would have on Anthys, I'd be interested in the answer. I'm planning on revisiting that map with normalized wildlands, if nothing else.
