Dunes Varicolor in Overland Schley Symbols not changing color
@OwlishlyTaboo - You and Ralf posted at the same time. Ralf's update will solve the varicolour issue.
As for the export problems I think you may need to adjust your settings a bit.
There appears to be some horizontal banding going on. Type EXPORTSETMPPP and hit return. You will see a number in the command line at the bottom that is probably 4 million (4000000). Type 40000000 (40 million) and hit enter again. That will greatly increase the width of each band and make those stripes less likely to happen.
When you export your map using Save as... pick the type of export and then click the Options button. These settings seem to do quite well at most maps, giving you a map that is 3000 px on the longest side.

CC3+ Going back to the basics-Dungeon
It looks pretty good, though there do seem to be a few artefacts of something not quite right around that join between the cave and the rooms beyond it.
Check that you haven't doubled up on the walls anywhere. That is the most common cause for windows and doors not cutting the wall as expected. If there are two walls the door/window will only cut one of them and then be hidden by the other.
Use List from the Info menu on a piece of suspect wall to find out how many walls are really there.

Looking good :)
You still have a lot of nodes in that coastline and land shape. If the map starts to get a bit slow as you continue to add more stuff, you might find it easier to run SIMPLIFY again on both those things with a slightly larger value than before. You would be surprised just how much of that frilly detail isn't really necessary at continental scale.
