shading needed , and fix it? you are better of restarting ... as you would only do double work

First of all, I'm new here myself but I think this belongs in a different forum.
I downloaded the map and, well... when you said you had polygon problems you weren't kidding. The way you've set up the polys on that hill not only creates way too many than you need, but it will also make any sort of decent shading almost completely impossible. Your scenery choices aren't too great either. Try playing a little with size and different shades. I can't think of any way to "fix" the polygons aside from starting over. You might want to look at some mapping tutorials.
I went ahead and spent a couple minutes remaking your map to help give you some idea of how you might arrange the polygons (I used almost 100 less polygons than your map). By the way, I used Polyworks to make it but you could do the same thing with mapmaker.

This is exactly why you should use polyworks, it automatically snaps the polys together, no more poly problems.

use polyworks, and connect all your polygon corners together, and you won't need a tutorial. it just comes second nature after a couple minutes.
