Large standard maps

Postby The Neon Peon on Thu Sep 18, 2008 5:40 pm

I would like to see some more large, standard gameplay maps, like World 2.1 and The Iron Curtain (still in the foundry). If you look at this thread you will see that most of our maps right now are in the 40 - 50 range, and then several sneak up into the 50s, then very few go past that, one example would be U.S. Senate (65) and North America (60). This is especially seen in the more standard and less complex maps.

We have plenty of small maps, large/complex maps, and a ton of medium sized maps, but those are the only two that are large, yet have nox complex gameplay. I am not trying to say we should change all our maps to large maps, but about 3/4th of our maps are medium sized maps with normal gameplay, and then all but one of the large maps have really weird gameplay. We need to diversify into other regions, and I would say that this is one good path, seeing as the small maps (doodle and Luxembourg) play pretty much the same strategy (need to update my sig, so please do not mention that).

I think our foundry has been moving in this direction lately: Iron Curtain, World War II Europe, Zodiac map (a little odd gameplay though), and I just want to encourage this movement.

So well done map makers, you are the deep down core of what makes this site so good.

The point being that most large maps do not have classic-style gameplay...
