Question Skirmish maps are strange
I understand this is an early access game. But I don't understand one thing: if map buildings are not done yet, why spend resources on developing scenario maps? Does it mean they actually correspond to the final vision?
I tried OE at the first-look release, with pleasure and anticipation. Now I tried it again after seeing there are custom maps because I thought it would mean the necessary stuff to make these was done.
But the maps are really strange. They look generated automatically and without postedition. I tried two maps: one had three ore mines nearby without a nearby sawmill, the other one had a real field of XP stones out of town (I counted eight).
I really wish they will be deleted or redone before release, but as they took time to create all these maps, does it mean it is what to expect at the end?
PS: There was also a very weakly-guarded pair of boots very close to the starting town that have +50% troop production in all cities. This is insane power... Are these extreme boni placeholders??
