Don't we have enough of random plains/desert maps?

[Haragh]

So tonight I was playing on EU Server 1 and there were typical desert maps with few houses where archers camped on the roof and cavalry run around the map.
After few hours came one good map. Winter forest map and there were not any houses to camp.. just lots of trees and small hills. Me and my friend were thinking: "Yes, finally great map!" Then admin polled map change on the first round for random plains.. Cool.. more cavalry rape and arrow in the knee. Thanks.

It would be nice to have more variance on maps. It's just stupid that every map is almost the same. And of course some of those little different maps have been deactivated from the rotation.
Why every map has to be some open plains were it's easy for archers to shoot and cavalry to run around? Maybe more true village maps and forests?

i am missing a lot of great maps from the old rotations... imo we should have a healthy balance of real planes without houses/camp spots,  semi planes with houses and true village maps.

Can you ever have enough???


But yeah there are actually a crapload of great, user-developed maps that were available before, primarily on unofficial servers as official servers seem to just rotate the single-player maps through a cycle.  Dont understand why we dont have 30-40 of these greta maps added in, especially since you can upvote and downvote maps in-game now.  Might as well add all the maps and let the  players decide by voting in-game.

To many village maps. That's the problem. But the equal problem is that random plains usually produce crappy hilly maps. We need more community made maps, some good open plains ones, some town maps but also maps that have a mixture. Most of the village maps are pretty horrific.

Problem isn't archers or cav, but map rotation that allows them to rape. Most of maps are made for roofcamping and/or cavrape.

True dat!

There are many great maps which somehow disappeared from regular map rotation.
example:
Nord village from musttiky - i played there maybe only 2 times in last two months and its great balanced map for infantry and archers(still playable for cav) with unreachable roofs!

Playing on one really flat plain map per a day can be refreshing, too.
Now is map rotation pretty dull, almost all village maps are roofcamp fest. Ruin maps on other hand are quite good.

Probs keep people interested as well if maps were better quality, rather than the shit heap they generally are now.

Pfft, cav can't rape if archers and inf cooperate.  But it seems like a badge of honor not to cooperate.  Everyone on his own is easy prey for the cav sharks.  2 pikes or bamboo spears and 2 archers is enough to scare away almost all cav.  Cav never operate as a unit either.

the plains and desert part is to reflect on our equipment base. Which is all arabian/turkish or russian armours. So the maps needed are mostly desert for the arabs and turks and the plains map are for the russians.

battle servers, random plain/steppe(would be cool to add desert too) maps  only
no village, city, ruin or any other kind of shitmap
best solution
