Here's an edited version that makes the whole river navigable by removing the fords near the starting positions.

Thanks I think your criteria are a bit too harsh. Forest Valley didn't met your criteria also, if i understand correctly, because lots of natural barriers and one (or two) choke points. And i guess most of the currently shipped maps doesn't met your criteria. In the end it's all about personal taste. Personally i start playing a map without looking at it in the editor first and discover the map with each military site. So with my style of playing it is not important for me if the map is "open" or has chokepoints or natural barriers. More important for me is the look and feel during discovering.

They only describe a style that's not well provided by the official maps.
Having another look, you may be right. It's probably not as open as it looks at first sight.
That's kind of the point.

I've added/exchanged so far:
I didn't played those maps, so i am not sure about them. Anyone vote for any of them?

I've looked at all of them in the editor, and I don't think we should add any of them at this point. Let's concentrate on the ones already in the PR, because we have very little time until the hard freeze. The starting positions on Rocky Mountains are very uneven. The Wood only needs testing, but it's a large and slow map. Terra has at least one serious problem with the ambiguous port spaces at Panama. The gold distribution looks strange too.

I think we can rely on the comments to the maps and trust the players Fight simulator for Widelands:

Just noticed that the AI doesn't work well with the map Plateau … Probably because coal spots are not easy to reach. Fight simulator for Widelands:

And I've just realised what evil trick that map plays on players. You have to conquer the mineable fields around the island from inside, but you have to build long roads on the outside to be able to mine them. Clever, but very evil, especially for the poor AI, who will never figure this out. This must be mentioned in the Edited: 2024-03-09, 23:09
