You're absolutely right. When I build a map, I do it the way I like it, but as a creator it's not always easy to find the right balance, because you don't play your own map blindly.
That's why I appreciate your replays .
A different view of my own creation lets me answer quite a few questions.

Thanks. I have 900h in the game and 150h in DK1, so I have a good understanding of the game, or at least I believe so :) Difficulty is very subjective and depends on the player. My advice is make what you like and don't try to please everybody, it's impossible. I've made a couple of maps myself and I know they're not for everyone but I don't really care, I know some people love them and that's enough. Cheers.

Guess this run was the blueprint for this mission, really fast and structured.
Maybe I shouldn't have lowered the difficulty...
You're really good at the game.
I like your tactics, also in your other videos.
Big thanks for playing and uploading the replay. I really appreciate it.
Thumbs up and happy swatting.

Really good map with nice details and some replayability. Here's one of my attempts at it : https://youtu.be/R8Jvsg69Lnw On to the next one.
