It’s probably some kind of magic tree that would be cleverly explained away with “look at” text.

Yeah, the issue with maps is the AI wants to add a bunch of random things to your map that you don’t want, and it’s hard to specify what you do want…
It seems easier to just make it more blank terrain (trees, mountains, etc.), and then add the details. The MI Melee Island map only has little lights to show locations, so that’s very doable.
