Nice map :)
Played today and enjoyed :D

some suggestions:
- more objects (rocks, mushrooms etc)
- more swamps? :D
- coal to dirt transitions look bad atm
- bottom loc is too open?

Thanks, I'll try to improve the map. But I need more opinions :)

Iron mountain near loc 1 needs elevating (59:14 area is completely flat!).
You should remove that dead tree at 47:122 (near big gold mountain at loc 2), beacuse woodcutter won't cut it and it looks ugly if you build gold mine there. Same situation at loc 1.

I'm not sure about cactuses and palm trees on a swamp... Also lava doesn't fit in this theme. If you're making swamp theme, stick to it.

Beisdes these flaws, map looks pretty good, especially swamps in the middle are nice :). I'm gonna give you more feedback after I play it.

Also, if you're updating your map, you might just edit your first post (put new link/attachment there), and make a post about update (without a link/attachment), so it's clear which version is good.

Looks better now.
I'd replace lava with swamp and deserts with dirt ;)

The last version is really good. I hope this will be included in the next release. Maybe it's a little too easy to camp and horses are probably useless but balance looks very well done. Very important on 2p maps. The insane amount of details could cause some problems with the delivery though, but I'm not sure how to fix this without removing them. Mountains look good but maybe some more elevation and tile variation? Tile x73 y80 should be fixed btw.
All in all, good job!

Thanks. Anyway I need test games to see how the balance is.
I updated the map. Newest version is in repository ;)

This map is in "unsure" list. Maybe add it - we don't have enough 1v1 maps? :P

Quantity < Quality. I don't believe that we should add a map based on how many maps of the respective type are available.

I think, that quality of this map is good enough for Remake (after fixing few sharp mountain edges). Also, the gameplay is very nice, I had fun on it! :). Having way too less 1v1 maps, I think it would be a good decision, to add one more, which has different gameplay and theme than other 1v1 maps.

True, but bringing one 1vs1 map that is "fun to play" and is "quite balanced" but it only has 80% of points for the beauty, compared to a 8p map with a 100% beauty factor. I would say that I would rather like to see one more 1vs1 map instead of the 96th 4vs4 map :D If you know what I mean :mrgreen:

My post was not intended to imply that Swampland is of poor quality or that it shouldn't be added. I mean exactly what I said: Let's not decide on adding maps just because we lack them.
