Sweet map! If you're ever inclined to improve the visuals, the steeper cliffs would definately benefit from a different texture to the flat ground.

It'd prolly be enough if the cliffs had a different detailtexture than the flat sand. But afaik Sprung's GPU can't handle that stuff currently.

Resource accessibility exclusion is a pretty boring way to do that; also, maps that do that exist (Tartarus).

penoid reclaim sounds good.

Not sure.
Tartarus is only map i know that even has climber-only mexes. But it is too small and center-centered to be much about mapcontrol and expanding.
All other maps with rescource-accessibility-diversity are islands in water.
When those maps were made mods had different hover-factory, it was more expensive (almost T2). With hovers as startfactory there is situation that other landfactories can not challenge the mexes on islands at all.
(Like the two islands on FinnsRevenge)

But on this map a mex or geo on top the hills would not be completly 'out of the game', other factories can still destroy them.
It might also give a use to terraform that is not lifting crabes or sinking coms or blocking something. Terraforming long bridge to expand to an 2-mex islands is not feasible, but short ramps is something that might happen in some matches.


I like that the featuredefs and their spawning are not the often seen copypaste fail!

The ramp from the larger light-green area directly to the sea is bot-only. All others are veh pathable.

How about extending the desert here?

Dessert or shallow water there could be interesting. Shallow water would make those paths suboptimal for non-amphs, but still viable.
Another thing you could do is make island there with shallow water paths leading to them. Then you would use more of the available space.

Could you extend the desert and make the new raiding path vehicle pathable? Then vehicles would have two approaches as well.

"Dumping ground"?
