Black Forest Nomad v01

Description
The title should make this quite obvious, if not then it's the map Black Forest with a Nomad style to it, hence the title. Nomad is basically a map style that you start without a town centre, so you have a chance to decide your base location.

The idea to this map is for new and old players who prefer to play Black Forest mostly to get a chance to play some Nomad in a map setting they are familiar with.

The only changes I've done to this Black Forest is remove the town centre, replace the Scout with a Militia unit so scouting is slightly slower and slightly adjust the Wolves/Jaguars spawn positions and amounts. Right now, they're a good distance away and one for each player (instead of three), plus the extra random one. I will keep an eye on this and see if it causes any issues, but I think it should be fine, in order to keep players seperated, the risk of going too far should be a factor.

Any comments or feedback is welcome, and remember if you like it, share it so we can play more than just Black Forest every day!

I recommend playing this on Normal speed with Explored, because primarily Black Forest is played with explored and all competitive/standard games are played using Normal speed.

Don't think of this as trying to be a true Nomad, but a more fun way of playing Black Forest, in my opinion as it makes a little less more predictable and opens up different methods of playing it. :-)

I like the idea of a Black Forest Nomad. However it's not really a true "nomad" map in that all your villagers start in basically the same area. To make it a true nomad would require significant reworking of the script (replacing player lands with non-player lands, changing resource placement, etc.) and might not be worth the effort.
