in order to create a world wide tiles (for a basemap) in acceaptable zoom level one must have a huge hd (see in this post). but, most of the world is sea...

so i want to create x levels of the whole world (x is small say 5-10) and then y levels of only the mainland (y is big say 20) and by that save allot of cpu time for the tile creatiion and hd space for saving unneeded tiles.

i use tilemill to create tiles and you can only define a bounding box rectangle.

can anyone recommend a solution (or maybe a different approach?)

thanks!

edit: the tiles are created from osm data
