This seems to be the known bug with smooth heightfields. Try
"double_illuminate" with the Hf, this should remove the black spots. If this
does not work, you may want to try to make an Isosurface out of your
image_map. This might be to slow (depends on the necessary max_gradient),
but IIRC there are no such problems wih isosurfaces. Interpolate the
image_map by "interpolate 4" (I think method 2 does not work well in this
context). This should remove those black-spot-artefactlines, too.

In it's current state, your afganistan does not look at all as pre-war, to
the opposite it looks like same nukeular-war :-) BTW, are you sure you got
the scale right? I can't imagine any reasonabele scaled buildings and people
in conjunction with those hills/mountains.

I hope, you'll achieve what you are trying!
