Maybe we can delete this post since there is a similar which is better - For maps, i see a huge mistake which affects the gameplay . It is extremely important how you set ressurces. In 80% of the maps there is just gold iron coal everywhere. it doesnt even matter if you play or not only thing is to send your geologues and finish. In my opinion it should be this way: The beginning you find like 30 coal / iron in total, not more and then on strategicial positions there are more, iron could be easier to find, cause its more necessary and gold much rather. gold is a material, a raw material - some maps there is just gold everywhere or gold 30% which destroys a lot of developing / strategies and thinkful players. . For tips, try the following parameters: 50% Coal 30% Stone 15% Iron 5% Gold anything else leeds to massive gold overflow Edited: 2020-02-16, 22:05

And I love that
Go ahead and make such a map, if you want. Or better don't: There might be already maps like that. There are much more maps online than needed. You are able to create much more valuable content: Videos.
Gold is important for the mode "collectors", I had already huge fun with that mode. Wanted to save the world, then I got widetracked Top Quote |

personal preferences in playing widelands are as widespread as there are players I believe. Therefore one can't generally speak of a mistake. I strongly believe every mapmaker has his own thoughts and preferences what to achieve with a map.
bullying people who add content to this game in such a harsh way is not acceptable in my eyes.
exactly. this is your opinion, nothing more and nothing less. Top Quote |

I'm not that familiar with our official maps - do we have one where resources are a bit scarce like described by OP? It would add variety to what we offer by default if we had such a map. Busy indexing nil values Top Quote |

I'm not an expert for maps with low resources ( I prefer maps with huge resources), but it's definitely common on official maps that resources are not so easy to get. On many maps you need to invest a lot of resources to reach gold and/or iron, and on "Fellowships" you need to use charcoal burners and so on.

Yes, Widelands is good At the other hand, there exist some unofficial maps with a very high quality which is higher than most official maps. Who decides which maps become official and which are not supported anymore? Wanted to save the world, then I got widetracked Top Quote |

If you wish to curate some maps to get some new ones in the game, I think that's a great idea Busy indexing nil values Top Quote |
