The issues with any map that uses castle walls, even my modification of Flooded Temple, is that they will favor flying way more than usual, and that Ranged armies are already really good on any map, so giving them the chance to get a double height bonus is playing with some very hot fire. The particular issues that I wanted to solve with the original Flooded Temple v2, are that the top of the map is very bumpy, which makes it hard to place double spacers, and that the path up to the top lacked 2 hex, level ground, road pathing, which made it even harder for them to get to top. So my changes were aimed at making it easier for Double spaced figures to make it to the top of the map. I dream of the day where a competitive map using Castle walls will be balanced, and fun to play on with both, all melee, and all range, still accommodate double spacers.

Thanks for the insight, if I end up playing on it I'll let you know how it goes.

Wow, that's very high praise. I now know what cartographer I'm making a map from next. Taking into account value and quality my top five in no particular order are Gamebear, Mad Wookie, Dignan, Typhoon2222 and Robber. I'd be impressed if someone broke into that echelon.
