Petalbay (Map)

Petalbay CP v1.1 (Map)

there's different levels of height in the water, boat half dissapears in the water and then pops up again in a higher sea level lol.
and I'm not talking about deep/shallow water.
on reforged the water is so dark that it would be fucking scary to sail in that sea lol.

checked it again in classic, and yeah magic sea? it defies laws of physics.

Pretty overpowered to find the Boots of Speed in the nearest green camp and use it in early game with heroes with starting Fast movement speed.
Little starting base building space.
Altered melee stuff in the shipyard.
Ships can get through certain doodads like the volcanoes.

Right now, it's not melee ready considering the altered changes. Overall the map looks nice but building space is narrow and ship strategies can exploit this in a bad way.

Simple.
