  IMO, the numbers could be less accurate (more round numbers), but please leave 
the numbers roughly as is

  Basically, right now, as said, 1 space = 1 mile.  Thus, those signs describe 
how many spaces the towns are from you.  IMO, this is a good thing, especially 
for now players (how far do I hav to walk to get to navar?)

  Changing to obscure units IMO doesn't add anything - it either results in 
players having to go to google to figure out how many furlongs in a mile, conver 
that, and then know how far the town is apart.

  I think for ease of use, the numbers as shown on the signs should represent 
number of spaces.  If we want to call them some other unit, I don't mind, but I 
don't want them changed to some value and then have new players lost because 
they traveled 75 spaces in the right direction and didn't find anything.  Things 
are already obscure enough - no reason to make them harder for new players.
