Carrock needs a minimap update for the ford on the bottom, and maybe it still requires a few tweaks because I have the feeling FoD (especially Isengard) is very strong on this map against FoL. Other than that, great map.
Carnen is fairly good as well, balanced and simple. I expected to see it played more often because it generally is very symmetrical.
Andrast is one of my least favorite maps of this tourney, but that is probably because it reminds me of Foi so much - 6 warg creeps, 8 settlements, 2 outposts, castles as starting points. It also is hard to harass FoD as FoL because FoD usually knows your pathway and can counter it fairly easy. I havn't played this map enough to call it balanced or unbalanced though.
Drùwaith Iaur I see a little bit as the problem child of the pack - it really is a cool map but there's only one way to your opponent and once you shut that path, your enemy is trapped. ICT and I thought about a (more obvious) second path through the top or maybe even a mountain pass between the 2 castles.
But I think all of these maps are pretty good (especially visually!) and it's awesome that we could use these maps for the tournament. Since I'm not really the right person to call maps balanced or unbalanced in my current shape, I'd appreciate input from other players. So common guys !
