Hi! For maps: Tap on any of the Expand signs and it will show the square expansion areas overlaid on your Isles. Tap on one of those squares and a box will pop up with an 'ask friends' button. Tap that button and your list of neighbors will appear. Check off the boxes next to who ever you want to send a map request to, then tap the Send button at the very bottom of the list. (I think it says Send- if not, it's something similar)

Stormie, the first name on the list, is a bot from Storm8, not a real person. I've noticed the request process goes more smoothly if you send a request to Stormie first, and by itself. After that one request is sent, start the process over again (tap Expand, tap an expansion square, tap 'ask friends,' start checking names...) If you check a bunch of neighbors and Stormie at the same time, the boxes will randomly un-check themselves and oftentimes an error message saying your requests were not sent will pop up. If you Stormie first, that doesn't happen. :)

There is no way to send gold requests. Probably the best thing to do is find three 'gold friends' with whom you exchange gold every day. Check out the neighbors page (http://dragon-story.wikia.com/wiki/Neighbors) and put up a post saying you are looking for a couple friends to exchange gold with everyday. The Storm 8 forum has a friends page, too: (https://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?98583-Dragon-Story-May-July-2017). Or, you can use the in-game message wall to talk to your neighbors to see if they are interested/available to do a daily exchange. Good luck to you!
