MP map descriptions

This means most of the written descriptions have become redundant, since you can see most of the information from the preview (such as suggested teams) I have therefore started writing descriptions for maps which did not have one, in the style of The Dark Lord's descriptions for his maps:
Warfare in the Wilderness: Fight your way through these untamed and uninhabited lands where even courageous adventurers have not yet been.
Enter the Heat: The rivers have dried up and the only water in the region is a small oasis. You need the water to save your city, but others lurk to take the oasis for themselves. Unfortunately there is not enough for everyone...
Across the Desert: Pursue your enemies across the wide open desert
Ambushed: Prepare your massive army for an epic battle in an open valley.
Atoll: Encircle your enemies around the lagoon in the middle of a sandy island.
Battle for Coal: Scouts have discovered a rich coal seam. The one who captures it shall reap the rewards.
Battle in the Ruined City: Maneuver your soldiers around the ruins of a city and use the obstacles to your advantage
Blood River: Build your Empire, equip your army, and let the rivers run red with blood
Borderlands: The border between four countries is a dangerous and wild place with much fertile land and valueable resources to fight over.
Of course if the author already provided a description I've used that.
While I'm at it I'm standardising the author credit, so it says: "Made by XXX" at the end of the description, or "Original map from Knights and Merchants The Shattered Kingdom" if it is an original.
Now the reason that I'm posting about it here is because I'd like your help: My creativeness for titles began to dwindle and my time is probably better spent programming than thinking up descriptions. So please post descriptions for maps here in a similar style to the examples and we'll use them. Doesn't matter if your grammar isn't perfect, I can fix it up. Remember that the players will be looking at the minimap, so there is no need to describe features of the map such as "teams start of opposite sides of the rivers".
If you are the author of any of these maps, I would obviously prefer you to write the description than anyone else.
Here is the list of maps we need descriptions for:
All of the descriptions have been written! Thanks to everyone who helped.
I will remove the maps from this list when descriptions are created.
