I'm having trouble with the shadows in the scene getting distorted. They seem to wrap around the polygon faces. Any advice? These are two screen shots side by side to show you:

This is caused by
a) The problematic geometry of the ground. It seems like some random polygons without any order. Ideally, you would have some kind of grid with square polygons of the same size and right angles. You could also try to Optimize the ground and see if it's better.
b) low lightmap resolution. Try turning it up for larger polygons (max. lightmap resolution)
