maps on NA 1... whine

Hey I like the server, but most of the maps are vilage in a bowl / on a plateau # 34 with steep terrain.

I miss some old classics like the maze map. Please more urban maps I can ambush cavalry from behind a wall.

Less roof camp / archer hill maps!

A balance between open and more enclosed maps would be nice to give each type of player an equal arena which plays to their strengths. As it is now, with SP village maps, cavalry and ranged, particularly archers, are quite coddled.

There is a wealth of community-made maps, but a serious lack of interest on the subject of managing the map rotation in the top admin circle of things. If Shik does not want to do it, he should nominate someone who has the knowledge/ motivation to do it for him. As of now, the maps on NA 1 are pretty abominable. They are boring, uninspired native village maps with MP spawns stuck in. No offense to whomever thought that was a fun idea for 80% of the map rotation, but it's not fun. Is anyone willing to step up to the plate?

Yeah, I'm really missing the ATS map pack now. I've had enough of Random Steppe and Random Village C. It'd be fantastic if at least some of the ATS maps were integrated.

I dont care if they are cav maps, archer maps, or infantry maps i just wish we would get rid of these huge farking terrain diffrences.  It makes no sense to build a village on such sharp terrain diffrences.  You start chasing down someone on foot then suddenly you hit a downslope and you start walking.  Worst are the maps that take a full minute just to walk from spawn to meet an enemy not because its a huge map, but simply because you spawn at the foot of a damn mountain and they are on the other side spawning in a village.

Now im also not saying all maps should be perfectly flat, but what im saying is we need more maps that have less of a terrain diffrential between the lowest, highest, and average points of the map.

I think so, i'll shoot him a txt. Pretty sure we were up to 500 maps before the end. Not all of them ATS....so someone would have to go through them.

We could use more maps for the EU servers as well, so if you get the old NA map pack, please make it public or send me a PM.

Fully agree with OP - map variation right now is terrible and all the good old maps are missing.

I already made a suggestion for a classic I am missing very much in a different thread (http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,17597.0.html), but there are also tons of other good ones.



Airith probably does.

Ecko, you are alive! Are you still playing?  :D
For while the fire in the heart of a single Remnant still burns... can Stratia truly have fallen?
