When boat goes far away from dry land people can screem something like "Oh, no! I can see Kraken(or Cthulhu) there! we must return" and if boat continue to sail there can be one of these cases:

  1. boat crew will kill capitan and return to the port(you cant do anything)
  2. boat crew will kill capitan and become a pirates(or change their fraction)
  3. Kraken(or Cthulhu) will kill everybody in the boat.
  4. something else.

One way I've seen map borders handled, which I like, is to have the map edges extend into infinity, only with some fogginess or alpha applied so that the user knows it is the map border. Things on the map border are then reflected outside the map. If you have mountains on the map border, you see mountains extending to infinity. If you have an ocean, you see ocean extending to infinity, etc.

Of course that still leaves an "edge" to the map, but at least it's one that matches the terrains.
