I like Enacia's maps. They have REALLY improved over time, and I have enjoyed seeing the progression. I hope you don't stop reviewing them simply because you've reviewed the author several times. I mean, OWL and Miyagi both release many maps, but nothing would stop you from reviewing those, and we all know it (nor would we want you to)!

"There all bending over for me" " hello boyz"
Oh bonbon, i think i just cracked a rib when you said that. Love it :D
Ecanias maps are really nice to look at, maybe a "bit" to nice for me personally. Awesome detailing, but they dont look like anyone has lived there..like ever. He should make a golf course map, maybe with a rollercoaster lol! Or maybe a theme park? na..im getting away from cities now. Great looking map! Great review..with a ship crash, a rocket, with some hello boyz humour rolled in!

This map is an absolute piece of art. What a delight to watch this review. and you are a very funny man, Mr BonBon .... I will call your funny remars: BonBanter from now on.... you are very good at Bonbanter!
I almost spit my coffee on my screen when I saw the cruise ship clipping, but on a map like this one, that is super high in detailing, and very complex ... something just has to slip trough.
Allin all - a very good map - you gave it a fair mark, and I am pleased to see it got your seal of approval.

What a great review, thanks a lot Bonbon, I spent a lot of time looking at that bridge, but its magic, some ships just have a radar to find those pillars LOL....

Holy cow, this is one busy map! Those rail tunnels are crazy. :D This is a map for Elves with railroad and cars.

I would have rewarded Ecania three stars for detail: 1) the signs in the middle of the road make it both ugly and it will cause accidents as it is both distracts and perhaps the signs are too low on the road as cars crash into them, and 2) the bridges are not always even nor are the roads at even height, and 3) it looked as though one of the bridges went down on elevation - a slight bump in the design if you will. It still earns the Seal of Approval in a classical Ecania type of map, however Paradox should really run a contest of a few categories to see who is the king of all in asset design and map making over a course of a year - could Ecania win against Flux?

I want to be like ecania when I grow up. This one is actually more playable to me than WONJU.

I know it's all a matter of personal preference, but I genuinely do not like maps like this. There's clearly no problem with the quality of the work. But it's just so boring. Flat as a pool table so there's no worries about where to build. "Thou shall build thine farm within the grid I have provided". Tunnels just for the sake of having tunnels. Not to mention castle ruins and lighthouses that may not jive with the mythos you want to create for your town. I much prefer maps with obstacles that cause your city to grow organically around them and that allow you to grow your city as you see fit rather than forcing you to meld with the cartographer's motiff. As an art piece it definitely has aesthetics. As a game map it doesn't inspire me.

Also, I would have knocked some points off for a few of the interchange ramps being on the steep side. I'm picky about my roads. That's actually what's holding up my first map build. I keep scolding myself about the shoddy network and redoing things. I hate working for me... I'm such a bastard.
