So I got a map set up on Big Fields farm, but if you follow me on the Giants Forum, then you know that I've been plagued with problems. The other issue I face is that there's a nice, new map available and recently I came back across Dahl whilst looking for some other mods.
Here's the thoughts thus far;
Big Fields Pros- •Set up the map from scratch •Large, American style fields •24 hours into this building this •Small download size
Big Fields Cons- •Roads and town have a very Euro feel •Sell points are mostly bunched in the middle •Train is only on the outside perimeter
Dahl Ranch Pros- •Based in Montana, convenient to my other blog •Again, relatively small download size •Large Fields
Dahl Ranch Cons- •Limited number of fields •Unknown base slot count
Dahl Ranch Neutral- •Map is heavily geared toward animal husbandry (Specifically cow and sheep) which could work for or against a new story line
Lazy Acres Pros- •New map •Additional crops •American feel •Large fields
Lazy Acres Cons- •Larger download size •Unknown base slot count •More crops means more machines, more slots used.
So there you all have it. If you have more pros or cons, personal opinions or other observations, please share. And don't forget to vote as I will be watching that closely. If you reccomend or advise against a certain map, please also tell me a little about why. Thanks.

I can't be of much help here. i'd pick dahl based on this because of the animals. about lazy acres on the mode where you start with all equipment and placables slot count is 1000 plus. on start from scratch around 350 if i remember correct from mrsealyp's map tour, well the small part that i watched since i am not really interested in the map. With download size you also have to include all the required placables from lone oak which are quite big if i remember correctly.

I wish I could help but idk the first thing about any of those maps.. surprisingly for an american who has spent plenty of time on a few types of farms (mainly just horse and arable) I don't usually like american maps.. I want to.. they feel like home.. they just bore the dog biscuits out of me... I blame all my hours over the road... maybe if I hadn't driven a million miles of highway with the only thing to see being fields dotted with the occasional cluster of trees (welcome to the central united states ladies and gents).. The only times in 19 I have legit fallen asleep playing (when it wasn't the morphines fault) was doing stuff like harvesting on Stone Valley... I mowed a path straight (more of a long gradual curve) thru the middle of my field

The Lone Oak placeables don't worry me too much, the only one they list that I don't have is the sell points.

I don't blame you Jessi, i strongly dislike playing on dutch maps. I've seen plenty of the dutch countryside in real life.
