ISSUE EXPERIENCED
The black forest map can give one side all the ponds and the only set of 6 boars.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
- Less than 25% of the time / matches I play (RARELY)
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:
- Generate a lot of maps in 4v4.
- See if any of them give all the ponds to one team, as well as putting the group of 6 boar in an uncontestable zone.
EXPECTED RESULT
Food sources should be evenly distributed or at least equally contestable between the two teams.

Thats how BF is suppose to be, it doesnt need to be perfect. Thats the idea of it. It is same as if you would complain why nomad is not a “perfect” square map with exactly equal res at exact points. Please dont try to post such topics that are not needed. Thanks.

No, the one team isn’t supposed to have all the 4000 or so extra food. Nomad is nomad, team start map is team start map.

Yet another one. Three stones buried, including my starting stone.

Not the worst one ever but
On this one there were 18 extra boar on one side and 3 on the other. 6k extra food vs 1k extra food.
Reminder to the dev… this still not fixed. how hard can it be just replace it with rage forest. 2 seconds fix

Easy fix is just to just the rage forest map gen, which fix many of the BF issues and makes it more balanced and fun to play. There is also a RF tournament coming. Good time to promote that tournament as well to use the RF version!

I am okay with some maps being a bit more unbalanced it is the charm of blackforest and should be left as is.
if you prefer balanced blackforest type you can always make your own RMS map and submit it for tournament play and the devs might even pick it up for map rotation as official map in future
that’s why I never play blackforest on ranked
