I think population desnities were only raised to get a feel for how much the scaling needed to be factored by.

I don't think this is a big one - adjusting the scale is all anyone's suggesting - if it does not matter to you, ignore it. After all DP never identified the scale of a hex and the number shave been a little nebulous ever since.

Anyone looked at the Uz, (or Trollpak) or Griffin Mountain or Borderlands maps to get an idea of how consistent scale issues are?
