Descent [256x256]

Inspired by Thousand Needles area from a certain mmorpg, and the changes it went through. Never really played that game but I still think about this design sometimes, thought it might be worthwile to bring it to Timberborn. Your on a trail, and your beaver tribe found itself stuck on mountain top. From the top you can see bountiful valley below. Doesn't seem that far, gonna be ez to reach it for sure. There is a small overgrown patch of land below, surrounded by rapid waters, but they are just as dangerous as they are beneficial. There is plenty of trees on the top of the mountains, but might be challenging to get to them. Seems like humans started some sort of last ditch effort nearby to create massive water reservoir between the stone needles. They are all gone now. Tested on hard mode until cycle 21. Not gonna lie, I didnt respect the waters and I suffered a wipe I didnt thought possible that far into the game with relatively stable pop, because of a general mistake in strategy. Beginning is about making tough tactical choices about how to best utilize limited land you have for best reults. Plenty of trees on the mountain top where you start, but they wont last for long. Hope samone has fun with it. /edit: rerun the map and made it way past initial testing to a point where it's stable. It's hard, but doable. By Razis Honorable mention in community map contest 2. Our happy customers: delicrow - "After playing for a few hours and cycles, I agree with the other commentor this map has an unusual challenge, and its the pure volume of the water and how precisely it flows across the map, which forces you to use a different approach than I ever had to use in any vanilla map. Overall its immediately one of my favorites, and I am excited to expand further into the map." AlexSimon - "the card pleasantly surprised me with its unusualness - I advise everyone to try it and I would like to see it as a winner in the competition" Map difficulty: ◆︎ ◆︎ ◆︎ ◆︎ ◆︎ My other maps: Brea
