thx a lo Lobotimes for you insight and thoughts... and i can relate. This Map is one of my older ones and i "cut back" on trees on slopes in my last ~20 maps and all maps in the future. I still think some are needed for optices but only a few*! I promise :P

I have about 2k hours on Timberborn, so I went in looking for a challenge, and this map delivered. Played on Folktails medium. Almost lost a colony due to flooding trying to clear out the ravine.

The only thing I'd say to the map creator is something that I've been seeing a lot with recent maps; placing trees onto single blocks up and down a cliffside. This map is chock full of dead oak and birch trees all up and down the cliff sides. Trying to clear them out without dev-tools is a nightmare, and it's a trend I'd hope will go away. It makes the map look nice, but it's a real annoyance to play on, especially when you're struggling to keep the last 10 beavers alive and you need to terraform the cliffside to make more carrot farms and there's a forest of dead birch trees all on single blocks up and down the ravine blocking you from doing so. I just end up using dev tools to remove them, as I can't stand using 20-30 wood/planks to build ladders to get rid of a tree worth 1 or 2 wood.

I continue to take my hat off to everyone who plays this crazy map of mine.:D
nice one james i wish you luck for your colonie and thx for the comment.

Currently playing with Folktails on Normal difficulty and I absolutely love it. I especially admire how nuanced the water phychysics have been put to use. Placing one levee too many can screw up my entire colony. 💪👍

I have no idea how golktails will fare on hard mode but I'll figure it out soon enough.

i will do one more test run in the future with folktails and take a look. thx for the comment. Sometimes a challenge is what we need :D

the first one (don't know the name in english). I retry the map with the second one (iron theet?) and it seems far easier (but still hard). I don't complain, it's nice to see this challenge

Its designed to be hard. But not for one specific faction. Whitch one did you play?

a really hard map. Following wich collony you choose, you will probably die
