Forest Settlers

Some trees are invulnerable and can't be cut/harvested.
The enemy AI spawned right next to me after some time.
Builder has the same icon as the Follower. Was very confusing at first. Though they were the same unit. Farmer also has the same icon. Hue change of the model looks bad.
Only Scholar can be used on Villagers. Trying Wizard afterwards always uses Scholar.
Villagers and Women are rather a nuisance to manage. Hard to see, randomly appearing.

Overall needs polish, maybe some more factions and stuff going on.

Approved.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

Ran a few alpha tests in multiplayer and made a lot of edits based on people's feedback. (added a lot of descriptions)
As for this list, the invulnerable trees are intended to make up battleground obstacles.
Enemy AI doesn't do anything in multiplayer. Initial spawn has been changed. Farmer/Builder icons will be done in future.
Scholar/Wizard training fixed. Women can now breed with your hero, soldiers and other villagers (including children due to popular demand)
Undead can now capture structures, each type having a different purpose. Endgame undead are very strong.
Lastly, there's a choice per player per game to pick a pagan religion. (Nordic - Ranged, Celtic - Druid, Slavic - Mages, Baltic - Melee)
