My first functioning sandbox!

Tell me what you think about it... I don't know if I did everything on the world map correctly, and I'd just like some ideas on how to improve it. Gimme some feedback, please!

Hi Darkdragoness,
My first functioning sandbox!

Tell me what you think about it... I don't know if I did everything on the world map correctly, and I'd just like some ideas on how to improve it. Gimme some feedback, please!
Hey, I just noticed this :)
Good going

After playing a bit...
Here are a few things I noticed..and am submitting to you a slightly revised, suggested copy

1. Basalt Quarry -- I couldn't get the laborers to pull statues out of the quarry
** I believe it is to close to the hill..when placing quarries that have to be able to pull it out, I usually make sure they have plenty of room to do this
sample file: I moved the quarry

2. Map Level Cities -- you had them checked as Active for all sites
** this means they have already been opened
sample file: I unchecked Active except for the enemy site - which you have correctly done. I added an activation statement to open them with.

3. Palace Preset -- in the player area, I noticed you started the palace with 50 bricks and 500 food...
** If the palace is preset on the map you wont have those resources.
sample file: I just deleted the palace and allow the player to place it

4. Dark :( -- Even during the day, on my screen the dark grass made it almost impossible for me to see what was going on..made my streets look blue
sample file: I just used the grass icon on the terrain area and repainted it
** I also used the grass-to-mud icon around the edges of the river just a personal thing
** I also used the mud icon under some of the resources just to make them stand out a little clearer on the map

5. Flood Plain -- Now I am not positive on this
** your flood plain wasnt the standard paint tool, I am uncertain if this has any effect, but...
sample file: I repainted the flood plain and part of the river bed with the flood plain icon under terrain

6. Resources - everything seemed to work
** I might add some other resources around just ... but up to you
** I wonder to maintain 30 papyrus upkeep ... you might need more papryus around
sample file: nothing done

7. Scenario start time -- you had week 16
** I know the tutorial suggests this but
sample file: I changed it to week 8.. again a personal thing... week 8 is harvest time...allows them a little more time to look around
Plus - it starts them out in the daylight not night time

8. Granite Quarry -- you had no use for it
-- I dont know if you are/were planning to add more sites..but you had nothing that it could be used for
Sample file: I added propaganda value of 3.00 to Domascus
** if you look at the prop build and prop description I added comments there
** Once its defeated you will be able to build a granite/stele monument then

** for Rahtoh I also added Active statement and Inactive statement to it

Again, only my suggestions ... LOL my first map is much the same
