problem 1 ->  Roof Camping
solution -> put invisible barriers ar remove static ladders

problem 2 -> not enough custom maps
solution -> there's plenty of them , just download them and put them in rotation removing all the other shitmaps.
or make a poll to choose the favourite maps like some admin did with the na server.

Totally agree with Ujin and Blackmilk on first page.
I really miss some of the townmaps or other custom maps (where is the cool caravan ambush map or the one with forest and cliff, where people tended to suicide jump when they were last 2vs15? )

Riot in swadia castle is awesome :P

Another map I miss is the cave map. You died in hell flames if you fell down from the battle area ;D. It was great fun

If ladders where removed it wouldnt be soo annoying playing 24/7 village maps like we do now.

To what Ujin said yes i also miss the old custom maps be it giant city´s or caravan under attack ect ec.... we had some reallly worked out custom maps dunno why we dont play em anymore..

Maybe archers had their way with QMD an simply just killed any map where they cant put a ladder and become immune to melee..

Just a wild guess...  :?
I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

tzar, these maps vanished before qmd was introduced :rolleyes:

And stop saying that all archers are roofcamping bundle of stickss. There are also archers who prefer not standing on a roof. I for myself only go onto a roof when there are about 10-15 horses on the other team

I'm with Gisbert. I prefer having my feet on the ground, or on very reachable roofs. If a teammate intentionally destroys the ladder to a roof I'm on I am inclined to TK said teammate, but due to being so darn polite I just jump down while cursing at him for being a twat.

I'd like to see some custom plains maps put in. Not the shitty random plains which produces gigantic hills half the time. But some custom made ones would be nice.

The village maps are truly awful. There are only a handful of good ones that I can remember. Most are surrounded by hills/on a hill, have to many campable roofs and are just an excuse to run blindly at each other and hope your team prevails. I honestly don't know why there are so many in rotation.

QUALITY over QUANTITY please. There are near 100 maps in the rotation right? 50 of which are village maps. 11 custom maps. That's not really very many. I'd argue to remove a huge number of the village maps and start putting in some better custom maps.

For reference on current rotation:
Made some changes to the rotation, here is the current one:

It's much shorter, containing the  50 rebalanced native villages that are ready + 9 native battle maps + 11 custom maps. The only maps repeating are random plains, ruins and field by the river, they each appear 4 times in the rotation.

This contains the current rotation...but without the numbers  :P

I wonder how often the server maps are reset, with all those maps you'd think you would see something different everyday, but it's not the case, MORE PLAINS... :evil:
