The guys at Ensemble Studios have been at it again on the map front. This time they have come up with a new random map called Sherwood Forest. This map has lots of trees as you can imagine, though the trees are spaced out so they dont really provide much cover, and make it hard to lumber:

Imagine a map where your town is surrounded by forests, and yet you can still walk freely through them. In Sherwood Forest, you won't find the standard large clump of trees. Instead you will find them scattered everywhere across the map. There are still many great places to place a lumber camp, as some areas tend to be denser in forest than others, but you may find yourself relocating your woodcutters a little more often. The trick I used for this map was not to place very much forest terrain at all. Instead, much like the trees that start nearby your town center every game, I placed them as objects, and by the hundreds.
