Notes:
-Trees are in respective to the base size on ally maps except ones rated 'Small' or 'Very Small'. E.g although Narrow has a fair few trees, it would be rated 'Medium' for tree amount due to the size of the bases and the need to farm and share with your ally.
-Where information is left out, it's not applicable. E.g no 'Teams' information on a 1v1. If there are no 'Heads' listed, then there are no heads in the map.
-Game length are averages based on personal experience with the maps, depending on your style of play these may decrease/increase
-The digit in brackets after each head spell highlights the number of occurences. E.g The Earthquake (6) head on Bifrost grants six Earthquakes
