My favourite map would probably have to be Alfhein. Other then it being fairly easy to defend in, the several Relics scattered all across the map encourage exploration and add a certain unpredictability to the map, as you never know what a Relic does until you find it, and thus as you gather more Relics it encourages you to play your civilization in a way would wouldnt normally do. Although, I find it ironic how the Norse usually struggle a bit on this map, despite this map being based around Norse mythology, in virtue of this map high defensive potential as well as the fact that the Hersis is a pretty slow hero that aint all that good for scouting or getting Relics .
My least favourite would have to be Islands, as I am not a fan of naval warfare, what Islands more or less forces you to do.

Alfeim for me as well. The lighting is nice, it's relatively small, not too open but just narrow enough to emphasize defensive points. I'm a big fan of relics too, the more the better. The hunt is basic, no gators or packs of lions, maybe a couple wolves at best.
Least favorite would be Valley Of Kings. Just a slow map with annoying migdols everywhere guarding all the gold. Nothing really happens until heroic age. Not a very rewarding map. I do like the fact that allies are grouped together though, which is why I like Megalopolis, but it's still not my favorite.

Yeah, Alfheim has the best light settings <3 ... tundra however some of the best textures and those nice rock piles. From the campaign missions the first atlantean campaign looks kinda best to me with the tundra theme.
So I guess my favorite remains Tundra after all, even though I like the Ghostlake and Sea of Worms theme very much too.
On the dislike side every map on which you can't reach your opponent by land. And after that probably Anatolia or Mediterranian.
I hate lighting on alfheim.. always switch it to default favourite: mediterrenean least favourite: alfheim (low hunt variant in particular)/also tundra on ee (it just looks terrible on ee)
