This is what I think a SH2 Kingmaker map is supposed to look like...
A Classic battle map, hence the name
There's plenty of river scenes, a waterfall, a dark evil swamp, and a few mountains. There is no story. Build your castle as you like, in a picturesque envronment. In other words, lots of eye-candy.
One thing, however.
Due to space constraints, the AI who build big castles (Barclay especially) do not like to do anything in some places. I reccommend you don't put AI in the top left estate either, because the estate is strategically split by two rivers, and the AI don't seem to grasp the tactical advantage of having a meadow with space for a keep and other vital buildings surrounded by rivers, with a large meadow for farming, hunting and other less important buildings across the river.
Please review this map?
It my first map, so don't be too harsh.
Oh, and don't mark me down for story, I don't have one because there isn't one. This is the best story you get: "Kill your enemy in a world designed to look pretty. THE END."
Oh, here a picture: Copy this adress to adress bar and hit "go"

Thanks. Review much appreciated.
That was the one problem I encountered when I play tested as well-I just didn't put in enough space. But if you learn anything from this map, you'll learn to build compact, I think.
