Baltic Coast Islands

Description
This map represents the terrain of the forested baltic islands off the coast of Estonia and Finland.

The extremely flat pine forests of the Baltic states meets the rocky coast of the shallow seas. This area is extremely poor in mineral resources, but the flat landscape makes for easy construction and agriculture. Your state borders the Latvian and Russian SSRs, and also maintains trading ports with the non-soviet nations of Finland and Sweden. Trade will be essential to your development, as the poor shale oil and iron sand deposits will take a great effort to develop.

cool map, but there are no resources, wood makes no money and there are too many stones to farm, intresting concept I suppose

Could you release unpopulated versions of your maps? I think they are among the best in the workshop but I'd rather have a map with 0 starting population, 0 infrastructure, too

This map seems less difficult and more unplayable. Having next to no resources to force reliance on agriculture is an awesome concept, but the rocks everywhere ruin it. The only resources available are wood and gravel, and that's not enough to run a whole game off of. Good for an unambitious early start game, but not for anything else.

if this map had a un populated version it would be poggers

The little bits of invisible rocks everywhere makes farming impossible. why bother making these clear bits of lands for farms if i cant actually use them? makes the map pretty much pointless

There's way too many random invisible rocks which make farming a lot harder. Is that intentional?

Thank you for this map. I really enjoyed playing it, especially now that helicopters can help with island hopping. Typically I like a bit of elevation change, but it works. This map is great for shipping.

Though, there are two things that bothered me a bit:
1. I agree with @Duke Flapjack. Gravel is essential and the only place it can be found is along the shoreline. One must extend the shoreline a little to obtain gravel. I managed, but it just seems a bit odd that there isn't any gravel source available inland.

2. There appears to be a dusting of stone all over the map. Not enough for a gravel quarry, but enough to make it difficult to place farm fields. I'm guessing this is the point, but personally I just find it annoying.

Thanks. Best map I have played. Certainly most challenging.

Great map with limited resources. Good challenge.
