Do you primarily use the large map or small? [poll]

[mibi]

I thought it was time to being this poll up again.

So do you use the large map, or the small map, as a default when playing.

[niMic]

I always use the large. My monitor is too big for there to be any point to using the small map.

[demonfork]

I've never used the large map & my monitor is 29"

[angola]

I always use the small map, though sometimes if I'm going for the kill on maps like World 2.1 I'll use the big map to make sure of a certain route.

[sherkaner]

Large, I don't understand why anyone would choose the small one. It annoys me every time I have to play for someone else.

[demonfork]

I would bet that freestyle players play on the small map and seq players play on the large map.

[Serbia]

Always the small, most maps are too big to play large on my laptop.

[pmchugh]

I would bet that freestyle players play on the small map and seq players play on the large map.

Not true for me, i never play on the big map I jsut got used to the small ones and now the big map looks inflated.

[Skittles!]

I like the small ones because they look so harmless.

[karelpietertje]

indeed.
I don't use the big map because in most cases (bytheway still on some big maps) the map jumps down so irritatingly after a click

[darkangelsguy205]

small all the way

[jesusfreak16]

Small. My moniter isn't big enough for large

[Robinette]

There's a Big map???



jk... i play on a MacBook, so i use the small map

[Scott-Land]

I've always played on the small map, even pre-freestyle. Although on occasion I do use the large one in some of the new maps to better gauge the attack routes.

Large is too large and it jumps, have to scroll to see it in it's entirety. I'm making my large Chicago map as small as I can get away with. Something like 700x instead of the standard 800x.

Im Irish. I compensate by playing on the biggest maps.

The affect of map size greatly depends upon the type of game, but typically the bigger the better, because it means more oportunities to come back from one bad turn.

I actually find the medium sized maps to be the most one sided, but that as you get into the large ones, that it gets balanced out, because the impact of turn one, is geometrically less significant. Typically on world 2.1 for example, as player 2, I will start with 11 armies, instead of 12, which is far more even than starting with 5 instead of 6, or worse 3 instead of 4.

Without a doubt, a first turn can end any game on any map with the right drop and dice, but I conversely find it easier to recover on the big maps. Either way, even if the odds are equally distributed, the larger maps make it seem more fair, and seem more fun, which is reason enough to play them.

If I win on doodle, or lose, I havent done much or made many decisions along the way, on the big ones, I at least get to pretend im making a difference, regardless of whatever reality there is.

Way to understand the question totally wrong.

Indeed. I use the small one, because I play the large maps....for reasons well illustrated....and therefore keep it on small map because the large map makes the large maps too big, and I dont play enough small ones to make it worth it.

[AndyDufresne]

I almost always primarily only use the small. Of the "Map options" available on the gameboard---like Color Codes and Large/Small maps, I'm pretty sure I use color codes more frequently than I do the large map even.

This is about playing the game while looking at the map as a big map or a small map...
you know... those links next to toggling colour codes on or off
your Irish blood certainly shows

thought I'd rub it in

(or I didn't realize there was a second page to this thread and I thought your post on page 1 was the last one )

[JOHNNYROCKET24]

I use the small map so I scroll less

[Timminz]

Size matters.

[edsdad]

Depends whether or not I can find my stupid glasses.If I find them the small map,If I can't, bigger the better.Terrible thing ,getting older.

Pity you missed the point and the way you started, no compensation ever needed...
