I am gong to answer this a little different than what I think you are looking for. I have only worked a few maps so I don't feel qualified to pick a map given the number I have not tried. However, the qualities of a great map for me are:
The abilty to remove obstacles that are in the way. That one stupid light post that is at the corner of an intersection that my semi helper always hits, or to replace that one bridge that is too narrow.
The abilility to change, make roads. To fix that one sharp turn intersection that every helper gets stuck on and cant seem to make the turn.

I like all of Giants maps in FS22. I believe they are really getting better at increasing realism in them. If I had to order them. I’d go with

1. Elm Creek
2. Zielonka
3. Silverrun
4. Erlengrat
4. Haut Beyleron
5. Horsch Agrovation

Maybe because I’m American but I really love Elm Creek. Horsch isn’t a bad map it just needs updated to allow you to buy all of the grass land around it

Wow. I’m a first love type of guy. I would have to say Goldcrest Valley is my favorite. Followed closely with Sosnovka, Erlengrat, Estancia Lapacho. Aside from Erlengrat, all the first maps I played were FS17. All of those FS17 maps had unique atmospheres and and layouts. I think Sosnovka had the best atmosphere. Just the color palette and feel of this run down agricultural area really resonated with me. The bright colors of Estancia was also a welcome change.

You are only naming 1 giants map. The rest aren't giants maps :lol:

The question was: which (of the 6)giants map is your favorite?

So which of those 6:
Elmcreek
Zielonka
Silverrun
Erlengrat
Haut Beyleron
Horsch Agrovation

They were all originally maps from Giants that have been converted for 22 by modders.

If Silverrun had a little bit more space to create farms/farmland that would been my favorite.
So little bit more flat areas to create fields.

So I must say Elmcreek then *thumbsup*

I guess you are talking about my reply, maybe quote people so they know what you are referring to with your reply.

But to answer you: I understand, but they are not giants map now in fs22. So maybe the OP should've asked the question differently then if he means "which previous giants map is your favorite?"

Then let's ask the OP what he means.

Do you mean FS22 maps only? Or all previous giants maps as well??

Sorry. When I started writing the post, yours was the last post.

I wasn't sure that they meant maps in 22 or just all Giants maps. Many people recall fondly their first Giants map. For myself it was Westbridge Hills in FS 2013.

I'm not sure now as well, I thought he meant FS22 Giants maps. So I asked him to clarify/specify the question.

No hard feelings, just some misunderstanding/confusion I think :hi:

Sosnovka is maybe my favourite, but also enjoyed my time on Erlengrat in FS19 and FS22.
The FS22 Horsch map is very good too, but mostly suitable for big equipment and I like to use the smaller stuff.
I just started on Zielonka, it's looks very nice and this could be my Sosnovka replacement for FS22.

The three I've spent the most hours in are Sosnovka, Elm Creek and Zielonka. I think Silverrun Forest is a visually great map but since I don't enjoy forestry I don't play it.
