It is designed for 2x1 game, and the top player(who is one against 2) gets bonuses.

Map is totally problematic, basing from the starter decks of each player roles, Player X who will randomly be placed on the top(the guarded) gets more time to gather resources quickly and gear up with no hassle while the 2 players below ends up getting bombarded to each other.
I was expecting this map is a 2x1 still it is a FFA, this is bad even though you plan to make it a BOSS raid like style. Player X at the top won't last if the 2 players were made to be teamed or forced to cooperate on a FFA scale.
The idea of each altered object editors of the game is a bit overpowered the paladin is way more stronger than the hero so spamming them along with full geared air units can claim any ground with no remorse.
For now I recommend you to read proper tutorials about balancing, terrain making, and the do's and don'ts of map making.

Could you please put it more simple? Probably in form of a to-do list? I'm having trouble figuring out the exact problems about the map.
And you can't spam gryphon riders or dragons, they are just too expensive.

It is simple, and its quite obvious why it doesn't suffice game play mechanics, though there are good tutorials about game planning and such here.
