Very high level of detail. An open plain like this should have a bit more structures btw.

nah. detailing is good, but not high.

It also doesn't need structures. It's a temperate map with forest as team. One small village is ebough
This is a good map though. Not a turtle map and many tactics are open. I would consider this one as a featured map. Only 2 thing could be fixed:
1. the naval yards disabled. If player 2 is able to basewalk from the derrick to the water and there builds a siege ship, player 1 is dead. So just disables the naval yards. The second thing is that the water tiles overlap. While not a real problem, it should be fixed due it looks unprofessional.

Maybe also some more texture is wished, but that's not a must. The basic of this map is very good and it would be an excellent map to play online Smile

The minimap is attractive, although I didn't had time to play it.

When posting screenshots, try to value the cool parts of the map instead of your base Wink

(and use higher screen resolutions if possible).

I only checked it in FA2. I will play it later when I have the time, but I know already that's it a good map Smile

. 10/10 from me when the water is fixed, naval yards are disabled and the texture is a bit better Smile

Ok. I disbled naval yards, put some more textures on (not much tho), and (sorry if i sound a little noobish) but i didnt get wut u meant by the water tiles are overlaping truefeel, but i did make the shores seem a little less boxy.

Go into the framework mode and look to the water. You'll see the water tiles (not the shore tiles) are overlapping (you'll see that most of them will have broken numbers). There's a special tile set to fix this; it's in the terrain/ground drop menu. Use that.

Now something that doesn't really has to do with the map, but the water itself. In the future, when you're making maps with medium to large water places, you use the normal way to paint water, BUT in framework mode and you should lay the water cells down next to eachother and that they don't overlap. overlapping water doesn't make errors and glitches, but it should be done to let the map look neat and professional; that little extra effort to make it look tidy gives the impression that you really made work of the map. Now with or without the fixed water, it's a fine map. It just that little extra.

yes, it's like that. Thougth it's still not completely done. The numbers in the water cells near the shore tiles and the edge of the map are still broken. There are 1x1 cell water tiles (you find them in the water tileset in the ground/terrain drop menu.

Ok, it's fine now Smile

I like this map alot; and excellent map. There's really nothing IMO that could be enhanced on it on the moment; maybe some anti-cheat tags to let the people be assured that they can always play fair a nice.
