I played your map and it looks fine, but 2 AI nations seemed to be very weak from the beginning and when I arrived the remaining one had not much to resist my armies.
But only played one quick game yet, so it might not say much.

You may try upping the AI. The AI has a hard time dealing with one crucial element of the map, it does not use sailing.

When playing against the AI, here are the nations to play from easiest to hardest.

Easiest Vanheim
Easy Niefelheim, Ctis
Hardest Ulm

In multiplayer games the above should not hold true because Human players will take advantage of certain elements of the map that the AI cannot.

EDIT: Wanted to add, thanks for trying the map and the great feedback

Another game that has a really, truly beautiful map editor is Lords of Magic: Special Edition. One of the nicest fantasy strategy games that ever came down the pike.

Unfortunately, it didn't get the fan-base or Dev attention it deserved, but it had many features that I still remember with great fondness.

Would be an excellent source for another nostalgia-mod, Foodstamp, hint-hint

I remember seeing Lords of Magic on the store shelves. But at the time, I didn't really have the budget for pricey computer games.

If the game is abandonware now, I may have a look at it and see what kind of maps I can do.

It only cost me 9,95, with patches included. You might still possibly be able to find it as a discount computer game in a mall or something. If you do, it's worth picking up-the only problem I had with it was I couldn't find a way to mod items.
