i play mostly doubles, so my favorite maps are based on maps that are
fun for team play... furthermore, i dislike all the conquest maps, as everyone uses pretty
much the same strategy. i don't play 1v1 very often, too much luck. and of course i play
mostly sequential/no spoils (because freestyle is just a cheat fest). with that in mind, here
is my list of my 3 favorite maps and a quick reason why...

world 2.1 - still the best map to slug it out with strategy
age of merchants - DiM changed the concept of maps on the site with this one
bamboo jack - a very simple and fun map that most people don't seem to grasp!!

there are many others that i enjoy to play for various reason. but when i go to start a game with a partner, these are the ones that immediately pop into my head...-0

p.s.-qwert has some beautiful maps, and i wish i could have included the Soviet Union map in the list, but it said three!!

I agree with Owen...of course most of the doubles games are with me so that makes sense.

Maps 4-6 however have to be:

4. Soviet Union
5. Arctic- I rarely win on it, but just think it is cool
6. Civil War-nothing is better than playing CC with a little GnR in the background.

it is kind of interesting that we both like soviet and arctic... you really love civil war, and we rarely
play it, and i'm not quite sure why we don't. it is a fun map, maybe i just had some bad luck while
learning it... great choices... arctic is so much fun, you think you have someone crushed, and then
you lose in 2 rounds... ha!-0

No. 3 Europe

The 48 regions can be nicely split for 3, 4, 6 & 8 players. It's beautiful designed. Only bad thing are some of the names. The BeNeLux is called Belgium, Former Yugoslavia is called Croatia and also Estonia & Slovakia are names that could be better.

No. 2 World 2.1

I guess it's the ultimate map for world-conquering. Lot's of regions and bonuses which make it a superb map for more player games.

No. 1 Saint Patricks Day

Strange enough my best map. It took me up to Colonel and the No. 1 spot at the Top 10 Individual Map Ranks. And of course everybody loves those Leprechauns, especially the one with the pint of Guinness. It's a shame the map is closed, otherwise I would be Conqueror now. :lol:
