Alright, I did my due diligence to search to see if this has been suggested before and couldn't find anything. Maybe one of you experts on the forum may be able to dig something up....
Concise description:
Some how, list or display the difficulty/complexity of a map on the map icon or in the name, or otherwise some place noticeable for players to to see.
Specifics/Details:
-Maps vary in difficulty as far as complex bonus/rules/victory stipulations. Use a simple measure to denote the degree of complexity of a map.
-Rank the maps 1-4 or 1-5 (1 being the basic risk style of gameplay, 5 being the most difficult)
-Map rank can be a searchable field in the game finder to filter games on particular maps
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
I have heard some chatter about how new players may be turned off from the site because of difficult maps and farming that may come with that. This is an idea to clue in new members and current members alike about how tricky a map may be. This can help the decision process for choosing a game and can also potentially be used to assist in creating a degree of difficulty in tournament games.
This is an incomplete idea, just something that I though of on the way to work and wanted to put it out on the forums.
I am open to suggestions on how to expand this idea. And criticism as well.
