There are several new maps with serious design flaws, but this Michi map is certainly one of the ‘best’ haha!
The problem with the map is that the forest is very dense, making a regular battle practically impossible.
The only viable option is to create a wonder; in fact, that’s the only strategy.
The flaw in this map is that since you need to chop wood in three directions and it takes a long time to achieve this goal, victory by sacred point is nullified because it’s impossible to access all 3 sacred points in time. So when someone creates a wonder, it becomes uncontested because victory by sacred point is almost impossible.
Therefore, what I would recommend to the developers is to create only 1 sacred point for domination; this would encourage players to chop wood and open paths on the map. Or reduce the volume of the forest that divides the map.
In the game I played, our team captured the sacred tower and completed the wonder in 25 minutes. I even deleted my towers to help the enemy team get closer to the wonder!
