I still see nothing wrong with trees. Kab did verious attempts, no one of them please everyone. The foundry rules say that all mapmakers should respond to concerns raised. Kab did this. I'm not asking to push the map through the foundry system because I want to play it, if you don't believe this check how many games I played on KC. I think Kab is the first who knows I don't like so much the gameplay of this type of maps, but sorry if I look at the map I still say that is one of the most pretty maps we have in development and I see the Kab's point of view with the trees. Yes you can think they look like shit, I could say they look like balls or fishing sinkers, but everyone here understood they are trees and call them trees.
So the point is that the current discussion is just matter of opinions. And when it's matter of opinions the CAs should have to ask only one thing, Is this map up to the current standards? If the answer is yes and there are really no graphics issues...then I don't see why not to give a stamp and waste time.
About the comparision with nordic countries, I said you more than in a single occasion that make a comparision between maps is a bad thing and always a wrong thing, each single mapmakeing development is a unique thing. Just all them has to follow the same rules.
Said that, if when this map will be online people will say us: Hey there's some bunny shit on this map, the trees are terrible who stamped this one?, then in that moment I will take my hat off to you saying "I was wrong, you were right".
I bet it won't happen because, as said, right now we're discussing just about a thing that is matter of opinion, it's like say that you think leonardo is better than michelangelo and I'm saying the opposite, who is right?
If you want to make a comparision (lol - yes i'm making a comparision after saying you to not make one!), the current discussion is the same you have about impassables on your london map thread that honestly is a totally nonsense.
