Need a challenging map.

[Johan S Rzymski]

Anybody know of a good map which is challenging. Starting off owning no fields and very little to nothing starting fleet, money can be normal. The map I have enjoyed playing is spectacle island which you have to clear fields first, but had a lot of equipment to start with. I like the look of stappenbach 17 but the starting fleet is way to much. To easy to sell off.

Kinda like a map where I can start with virtually nothing apart from maybe a pick up and maybe a chainsaw, and clearing fields from trees.

why dont you start a map you like, save it and then edit the save game by removing every piece of equipment you dont need and remove all fields you own.
That way you dont have to sell them (and get a ton of money).
This way you will have the amount of equipment you like.
To be honnest, it will always be to much or to little so this way it would be exectly right.

No need to even modify savegame file actually. Just buy and sell equipment until you get to the right amount of savings. If using seasons just do it with animals.

Thanks guys for your responses, all fantastic. Abandoned Forest sounds great. Also I have trolled youtube for map reviews watched around 10hrs of various maps to find what i am looking for.

Now I have already clocked up nearly 50hrs just on Spectacle Island, love the idea of clearing fields and your yard. I wanted somethng simular with a hard start such as no fields owned, very little cash, very little starting fleet. Finding a happy medium was hard.

Now so far I have found the following that interest me in a challenging start.

1. Fichtelberg (older map)
Start with NO FIELDS & NO HARVESTER
£400,000 starting money (normal mode)
2 tractors, front loader & attachments and few other bits like water tanker/siloking/seeder
A good start with very little to crack on with, be wise with the cash as £400k soon goes.

2. Rathlin Island
Start with NOTHING but a little tractor and £20,000 (normal mode) and that's it.
Great start love the idea. Need to find all gold nuggets. £1m from nothing soon goes buying
fields, a harvester, all tools like tippers, plows, seeders, headers etc. A Challenge.

3. World Challenge (as mentioned above)
Start with next to NOTHING with one field, a pick-up and a water tanker.
Oh and interestingly a small tomato and lettuce patch. And lettuce for fish.
£20,000 (normal mode) starting cash and you need £90k to repair the bridge to get to your
only owned field. Loads of foresty, road building around your farm (ground modification
mod) and creating new fields. Awesome start.

4. Abandoned Forest (as mentioned above)
Start with NO FIELDS, NO TRACTORS/HARVESTERS
Fleet - a pick-up, cultivator,seeder,fertilizer,water tanker, front loader & attachments.
£20,000 starting money (normal mode)
All fields need clearing of trees once purchased. Awesome challenge.

5. O'Brien Farm (hard mode only)
Start with NO FIELDS
£200,000, start with a Pick-up and a tipper trailer only!
Perfect challenge.

Well I am going to have hours of fun playing around with these maps. Tactics & Strategy.

Hey, your my kind of player. Didnt think there were anyone like you out there, only money glitchers and lazy cityfolks. ha ha ha. Nice list, i will check it out.

download the 'Bank of Haagenstadt' mod, and it will allow you to sell off all your fields at the beginning of a game, as you can do with your equipment. It allows you to lease fields as well as buying them.. and to get rid of all that money you end up with, you could buy/sell something to lose money, or invest in a couple of power-generating windmills to give you a little bit of passive income.

as for a challenging map in and of itself, take a look at Pleasant Valley V3.x ... loads of extra crops to grow, tonnes of production factories which are buyable, some of which need to be built first, and on top of that, a reputation system.

I'm into challenging 'start with nothing' maps as well - currently playing World Challenge. I edited the file to lose ownership of the one field - so I have some land clearing (and borrowing) to do before I can farm anything.
