What is your favorite new map of 2010?

I can't believe Fractured America has more votes than Stalingrad. Also, Thyseneal has just one vote. Poor Bison King...

Mexico has only 2 votes (neither of them mine), so the race for last place could be close

I can't believe Fractured America has more votes than Stalingrad.

Either can I! So I am honored to be able to be in 3rd for my first map on CC

[natty dread]

If I add together all the votes for my maps, I can barely take 4th place

Well, the poll has finished, and it looks like Napoleonic Europe has come out on top.

I have taken the liberty of sorting the poll results in order of votes:

show: What is your favorite new map of 2010

I have also taken the liberty of producing some alternative stats, which are based on a crude measure based on the total number of games and the date of quench:

show: Average number of games per day

Interesting, huh?

Hell yeah, 13 Colonies is up towards the top!! But then again, it's been around since January 2010 and maybe developed a following. But look where Napoleonic Europe is and hits been around a lot less longer. But over all, it seems the limited edition maps are quite popular.

A limited edition of anything is often quite popular, and the World Cup map was used for a tournament, so that would boost its numbers a bit.

Excluding the Ltd Edition maps, it's interesting that there is a slight skew towards the most recent Beta maps... sadly it's not possible to get a picture of which maps were most popular over the past couple of months as the gamefinder search doesn't let you filter results by date.

It's definitely intersting to see which maps receive the most play - although there will again be a slight skew towards smaller maps or those which take less time to play.

It would be really nice to work out some formulae to assess map popularity (but that's a topic for another thread)...
