@Mikxy Thanks! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the challenge. The flow during normal/badtide should be the same in theory since the game doesn't offer independent controls to mapmakers.
To get started in hard mode (it is possible to win) my advice would be to really focus on collecting water from the back of the castle. You can't have too many pumps! Also, ignore the water source in the middle of the castle, the flow is so small it is basically useless.
Next, create irrigation behind (left and right) of the district center, with water dumps. Beware of the toxic areas during badtides!
Keep your population small to minimise water and food requirements. You can grow your population later, once you're able to get out of the castle.
The river source has plenty of fresh water flow but you'll need to do work to make it accessible and useful to the rest of the map. All other water nodes (except for the large round tower) are more of an obstruction than anything else.
Good luck!

thnaks you for this map,
but yeah badtides are so difficult to manage in hard mode.
are some sources flow more important in badtides than normal?
any advice how to manage it?

@HIEHER Laut der Beschreibung (entschuldigen Sie, dass sie nur auf Englisch ist) haben Sie Recht, dieser Wasserknoten und andere verhalten sich tatsächlich anders, als Sie vielleicht erwarten. Diese Karte unterscheidet sich sehr von allen anderen, die ich gesehen habe, als ich diese erstellt habe. Viele der Wasserquellen haben eine sehr, sehr langsame Fließgeschwindigkeit. Das ist beabsichtigt. Die Absicht war, andere Arten von Herausforderungen zu schaffen als die üblichen, die man in diesem Spiel findet. Ich empfehle Ihnen dringend, die Beschreibung zu übersetzen und zu lesen, um die Herausforderung besser zu verstehen. Viel Glück und viel Spaß!

bei dieser Karte, stimmt was nicht mit der Wasserquelle etwas nicht
nach einer Dürre läuft das Becken nicht mehr voll

@Spooky_Paw indeed it does, it is just eye candy and useless for anything else. During badtide, it actually becomes a nuisance so beware ,)

the water in the middle is pretty much gone by the first drought... shame. i liked the map otherwise

@Joker, Thank you :D

The best map ever

Thanks for playing and thanks for sharing your journey! I'll be checking the video out later this afternoon.

Well, i kinda finished playing this map. Kinda because the game is open ended, so anyone chooses their own definition of when to finish it.

It was an interesting map, with interesting features. My beavers are happy and have plenty of food, water and resources to go by, and have bots as well.

And i played in hard mode on this map. Have to say, i fell for the illusion too. On the second drought in the beginning, half of my beavers died of thirst. I managed to recover and never looked back.

You can check out my sort of grand finale with the Wonder here: https://youtu.be/DRX2joedrLU

On to the next map.

@Duffman, it doesn't, it simply sits there in the pond, irrigates the ground around it, and gradually evaporates :)

Where does the water go in the front water source?

Super Map, vraiment beaucoup de plaisir dessus pour la gestion des eaux :)
Great Map, have a lot of fun playing with ! the water(s) management is insane :)

tres sympa

Seems like a really interesting map.

Very cool map!

用地层高度功能，可以看到很多隐藏的水源点，前期多储水

also idk how to edit on steam but what if there a better one like this, ohhhh your building idea would be amasing for medevil cities. i got ideasss

i just not9ice this new map. i never play it and now i wanna try it.

Fantastic map! Love the theme and the challenging badwater management

Good luck! Keep an eye out for hidden traps and treasure

Let the challenge begin.
