Map: Archipelago Sea

This map is inspired to a real place; if you live in Turku, you may recognize the islands of ruissalo, hirvensalo, satava and kakskerta as the blue starting point, and aland, hogskar, and lumparland (not to scale) for the red. Everything else is made up. Nevertheless, I made it balanced: every player has exactly 19 big spaces, 50ish (they are difficult to count) medium spaces and 20ish small spaces, 50 stones, 54 coals, 26 granite, 63 iron, and 19 gold. So you can use it to play with your friends.

This is a very technical map, and by "technical" I mean "difficult". Small islands are inefficient to produce wood, and expansion is difficult. you have to keep making woodcutters to clear the trees, then dismantle then and make military buidings to take the land, then you dismantle those, cut the roads and see where you can make a large building, and all the time you try to not lock yourself. But it is difficult equally for everyone, and if you enjoy an extra challenge in adapting to an unfriendly environment then you should like this map.

The AI is incapable of playing this map to any real degree. it cannot cope with small spaces, and it regularly mmakes smaller buildings on the big slots. it generallly only manage to make two or three farrms, and sometimes not even a battle arena.
