New map is kinda missing something

I understand how you wanted to create the new map in points of readability, etc, but after all I saw about the new map, I thought sth was missing. I watched a comparison video of the new map and the actual SR and I think I found my problem.

Don't get me wrong, the new one looks nice. But the old one felt homey, thanks to a few details:

  • the catgoatthingey laying around
  • the waterplants in the river/at drake/at baron
  • overall looks like the bushes looked way more wild on the old map, but that could just be me
  • blue lightcrystals in the blue jungle/base, purple lightcrystals on the purple side
  • a lot of fires, I mean... A LOT OF FIRES.
  • the signs...
  • the pots and campfires (again fires) at junglecamps

All these things gave the old map something.

Though the new map looks better in style and everything its missing pieces like these. Looks great graphical but a bit unloved. I like what you did to the purple side jungle, the cracks around Red, the runestones around Blue

I just feel like the blue side jungle (I like all the shrooms around Gromp but the rest is missing sth for me), the river area (Barons and Dragons pits look kinda plain aswell as the river overall) and the lanes, aswell as the bases could need a bit of detail-like love (maybe some animals like the catgoat, theres plenty of boring wall where sth could be added)

The signs of habitation were removed because they didn't fit the new map, It's supposed to look un inhabited because there are no longer any even remotely sentient monsters,
