King of the Hill map

[LeJardindEpicure]

Hello everyone i'm trying to make a new multiplayer map based on this concept (see picture below)

The idea of the map is the player (team 1 and team 2) spawns east and west of the map in an arc of circle with the usual (food, a bit of wood, bit of iron and stone but not much). In the middle of the map there is a huge mountain with a plateau at the top (enough to place civ center + fortress) with treasures and huge amount of iron/stone. To climb into the mountain (still think of it) you have two spiralings paths that climbs along the cliffs. North and right of the map are creeks with huge amount of fishs and wood, you can access them by the coast or narrow pass between moutain. You can also rejoin the spiralling paths from north and right.

 

LOW EFFORT DRAWING

On the "artistic side", i was thinking of an mediterraneean landscape (like in the game Arma III as seen below) with lots of rocks, maritime pine on the coast, oaks closer to the moutain and normal pine as we climb the mountain + lots of rock.

 

I've already made map edition before (in the game Arma III never in 0AD) so i know its challenging (plus i can spend 1 hour adjusting a bush position). 

 

First, do you think it is feasible and do you think it could be interesting gameplaywise ?

Second, is there a mapmaking discord i can join / people willing to collaborate i can speak to ?

 

Thank you very much,

I'm not the most qualified person to talk about maps, but yes, it's entirely possible, and furthermore, it's possible to create scripts to validate win conditions on the maps. Regarding Discord, I'm unfamiliar with it.

I'm not sure if it's interesting, but it's possible; this is one of the maps I'm creating.

The starting position and the lakes are similar to "Pyrenean Sierra". Maybe you can base your map on that.
