I very much like this map so far, it has a great variety and good placement of monsters, the terrain/paths required to navigate to get to other elevations is really well done, and the hidden surprises are very cool. Also, it's a huge forest map, and I tend to enjoy those. The only thing that I haven't been able to figure out so far are the rope nodes... as in: where the heck does one find a rope to use them? If there's one on the map to scavenge, or if it's somewhere on an NPC vendor, I can't find it. Fortunately there are other ways for a character to get to the upper rope spots(a few of which are resting points), so at least a bit of player creativity can make up for any inability to find that pesky rope.
To whoever made this map:

bravo.
(As an unrelated aside, I finally figured out how to trigger the highwaymen encounter on Tradeway North, also very cool)
