Quotethis map is: old!!!

I'd rather say: this map isn't finished.

- Title is missing
- Opening text is missing
- Text for both artifacts is missing
- The intensity of all 3 emitters is 1, so the river will never overflow and building a few collectors will be enough. Have you ever played it yourself?

But hey, the map works, so I approved it. I just won't bother playing it....

    Though the comments may seem a bit harsh, take them as constructive feedback.  If you play some of the more popular custom maps, you will find the best ones tend to be the ones where the author has taken care of the little thing like Title and Opening Text.

    If an author takes care of the little things, then it's a good indication that they have put effort into making a balanced game-play, and have test-played the map numerous times to be sure it's the best they are able to make.

    No one expects your maps to be perfect every time.  With thousands of custom maps to choose from, you do want you maps to have the best chance of being played.  To do that you have to take the extra steps and pay attention to detail.
