What i suggest now is that if the majority of people think that the cow island (with the background story) sucks, to tell really loud to dana and don't ask him to waste time. But please don't consider the graphics, but the whole idea/gameplay.
Anyway, no reason to not revert back and move into a different direction.

yes there are, and they except anything.

All of a sudden you have a theme and a reason for the cow to be portrayed. It's the setting of a war, a war amongst bats. No different from Poland being portrayed in a world war themed map.

Dana if you try making a cow island, I think you should consider my idea! Making a cow island is much sillier than just a cow on a piece of paper without back story! Keep the cow with all the meat on and make a back story of vampire bats attacking it! (vampire bats feed mostly on cows so it's a natural setting)

Vampire bats don't cut cows into beef cuts...

the main problem i (and others) have with this map is that is based on an arbitrary ordinary generic thing like a cow (a piano, a keyboard, a pig, brain, etc). so no matter how you disguise it, it will be the generic thing we hated in the first place and it will open the path for all other generic things that were tried and abandoned over the years.

That is a map that didn't go through the foundry process. The way I see it, it's not a "real" CC map.
But presumably the people who are saying "cow" is unacceptable are the same people who approved/made "christmas" correct? Why the double standard?
funny you should say that. fact is the same people that are objecting to this map being made are also constantly protesting towards secretly made maps (like the christmas map)

So who approved the Christmas map? Maybe I should go through them instead of the foundry
