OK, I know already I'm not going to win Map of the Week or anything like that. But I do know that the only way to seriously improve is to get constructive criticism on it. This map is my best to date; please give me some tips on improvement, and I'll work on my skills.
Description: During your travels through Arabia, your scouts report that a nearby region is ideal for settlement. Tired from travel, your people convince you to choose a settlement. But where? On the fertile but resource-barren riverbanks? Or in the desert by an oasis, where water allows for scant food -- and wildlife? Or will you settle on the highlands, where there truly is no food but an abundance of resources? Or will you be bold enough to settle on the sandy beach? And most importantly: Who else has the same idea?
looks interesting I will download and leave some ideas on how to make this better.

Wow. I never expected to get such high ratings. And this was my first true attempt at a map! Thanks, you guys. :)
Oh, I know I should have eye candy. I'm not able to do very much for eye candy just yet, I'm really practicing on it. I'll get to work on that and see about an idea for another map. :)
Yeah, the AI doesn't know what to do. I found that in playtests, there was no hope for any AI on the highlands (unless it was the Sultan, but we all know how hard it is to beat him... not at all). In the oasis... well, the preset castles ruin the AI there. Really the only place the AI has hope is a riverbank or the coast, but even then the preset castles are the undoing of the AI.
So yeah, no AI support. But if you say it's a good MP map I'm happy. :)
