2v2 map, 1&4vs2&3.

A bit of playtesting has been done.
Feedback is welcome.

I hope you understand, that as the size of the map decreases, the harder and harder it becomes to balance such a map, even to the point where balance isn't possible.

I think this map fits into that category.

A couple notes --

- The northeast and southwest are very heavily forested, but I feel this is overdone. Elves will dominate those frontiers.

- I have no idea which players start where.

- Gryphons can take the middle two water-villages with relative ease on the first time, without any immediate competition.

- Typically, mountains are not placed next to villages of any variety due to the fact that dwarves, moreso than any other faction, benefits heavily from this and can pressure that particular village without any drawbacks. Forests are of less concern, because elves are not as resilient as dwarves.

- If you can, you might want to increase the village count slightly. This is to make sure that games are not decided merely by the first conflict that occurs. (Suffering many losses would be hard to regain because income is severely limited.)

Keep up the good work.
