where would you put the resources on this map?

im actually bad at making multiplayer maps so i want to know where you guys would put the ore and tech buildings on this map.

Everyone needs a bit by their start position id Imagine, then areas further in where they may have to fight to dominate the orefield. So im suggesting small pockets in the interior.

Initial thoughts:

• I would put ore in the lowlands to increase the susceptibility of the harvesters.  Holding the high ground in the middle acts as a strategy without rewarding the high-ground with money as well. 
• Considering this map, I would try to put tech buildings where they aren't strategically beneficial to build off of, but does create mini-battles.

Looks good,  the map isn't an island then? so the seas connect, that would allow for more naval conflict.

nope. that reminds me that i should take out the shipyard options right away. 

heres what it looks like right now. i didnt want to put all the resources on the lower section since i get the feeling that would just tempt people into rhinospam faggotry. i dunno if ill keep the ore patches exactly like that or not

Oh ok I understand, well looks fine to me. Are there any issues with un-harvestable ore patches, ie too close to cliff edges or trees? I generally have to go over my patches as I almost always over spread my ore to the map edge or tree-line.

nope. i didnt put much ore on the map at all so there was plenty of empty space
