Title: Randomize map list more often please

Would be nice if once a week the map list/rotation was randomized so we don't always play the same maps in a row.  Right now there's a few different 3-4 map runs where it's all super enclosed (non-cav) maps.  Would be nice to just get a randomized map list every week or two to change things up slightly.

In theory, the rotations should be randomized after server restart. But as to how that actually works, I have no idea. Anyway, NA servers went from neglected step child to the only ones you can play with, so I randomized the lists on NA1-2.

Jacko, are you saying you have more access to the NA servers now?

I might make some maps :)

It's probably that he has the same access as always. He can make changes as he sees fit, but none of these changes will take effect until the servers are restarted, which - last I checked - he doesn't have the access level to do. Though if that has changed - hallelujah!

The servers reset every day at 5 or 6 am.

Are you saying you just randomized them (yesterday) or they were randomized not too long ago?

I know they've been randomized (the rotation, and even adding more old maps back into the rotation) a few times in the last 6 months, I just wish the list was randomized more often.

Thanks for looking at this :D

I haven't noticed a pattern within the rotation for a while, but I don't play as much as I used to so that could be it.

Unless the map rotation was changed in the last 2 days it's been the same for a month or longer (it seems like) but I think a week or two ago they added a bunch of old "ATS" maps to the rotation.  But I noticed that the rest of the maps still come around in the same order.

The only reason I noticed this pattern is that there's a bad stretch 2 or 3 times in the map rotation where 3 or 4 maps in a row are really "terrible" (enclosed) maps that cavalry is basically useless on.
