Really great map, thank you. I really love the natural flow of the terrain, and the different sections of ridge and plateau make districts a smart choice. Water blocks everywhere has been fun, and fighting badtides was a different challenge than with other maps. There's also early, easy access to plenty of arable land, which allows for a quick growth early game

The most challenging part of my run (on custom, between normal -- hard) is there's not a natural area to build a water reservoir for long droughts. As the droughts are getting longer, I've started a panic-built levee on top of the water source on the ridge to try to keep water for longer. It's been a fun challenge of the map and has kept it from feeling too easy

The 1 tile trees everywhere have been a bit of a drag; I'm playing with the ladder mod which makes things simpler, but clear trees off of a slope is a drag

Overall, fantastic work and I look forward to your next maps! Thank you!!!

This is my favourite map for sure, but it's not as easy it looks, what with all the bad water sources around. There's room to experiment, and the progression along the map, as well as the careful placements all make this map shine brighter than any other for me. Thanks for making it :D

This map belongs in the base game as a difficult entry I truly struggled on hard mode and that made it fun because it often gets easy too fast and then it is just creative building without a challenge anymore. This map changes that and this. Great job and I hope you win!

thx a lot for all the downloads and the comments!
@madaodoge: I did put fewer trees then i normally do. :D And yea some water sources are supposed to be extreme. Because of the contest with water physics i hyped it up for those maps. Gz for the Hard route! I did only normal :)

Played Iron Teeth on hard. The map is not easy to play, and it was fun!

My only complain is there are too many trees on inaccessible cliffs (on 1x1 tile). You need to build scaffolding to reach it for removal if the space is needed, mostly for aqueduct support. Similar for ruins. I eventually gave up scavenging ruins and just use mine. The ruins makes good decoration anyway.

FYI some water sources in this map are absurdly strong. A single water source requires 4 unit wide waterfall for non-overflowing flow. Be careful!

dear lord. this map is super cool looking, buy there is just no way I could play this with badtides turned on. water sources everywhere.

This looks super interesting! Well done man. I'll have to give this a try at some point.

really challenging and interesting map. lots of complicated ways to expand, where you are rewarded from careful engineering.
