	After multiple testrounds, you should have a good working map. If you like to 'organic-ize' your map, you can/must do it now. If you make it too organic, the pathfinding and passable slopes could be distorted, and you don't want that! So you can heighten or lower certain parts, or even throw in a noize overlay, but be '''SURE''' that you check if the map still plays okay!<br>		After multiple testrounds, you should have a good working map.

	If you have most of these things, you can start thinking about the map you want to make. It is very smart to make sketches of your map, before creating it. Try to design the map, so that in your 'mind' it could play well. Think of possible problems as porcing probabilities, turtling, strategic important places, but also metal layouts, geo-vent locations, and maybe even feature-placement.
