Patreon Poll: Upcoming Theme!

Hey all!

A quick one today - we haven't done a Patreon Poll in a while to determine a future upcoming theme!

This one's a bit less conceptual than some of our other polls where we've floated some pretty out-there and unusual themes. Today we just know which you'd rather see more in the near future - more Forests maps to continue growing this ever-popular biome,...

Hey all!
