What happened ?

We used to have so many decent maps which were very detailed or looked interesting or were very well balanced. City clusterfun maps/open fields/ mix of both . Now 90% of the time it's a random village while the rest 10 % is occasional custom maps or random plains (and some of RP maps are full of climbing hills).

I don't have any personal preferences when it comes to open field maps/city maps etc, i like all kinds of maps as long as the rotation is balanced and doesn't just puke out all the villages we have in Strat.

As far as i remember back in the days one of the admins (or more, Leiknir was one i think) was specifically responsible for map rotations , does anyone work on it now ? Either way, in my opinon it can be changed for the better.

But then again, this may be my subjective point of view and everything is fine. What is your opinion , people ?

Personally, too many random plain maps, and not enough custom maps, I love mustikki's maps.

I'd love more plains (NOT hills, PLAINS dammit...) because they kind of enforce teamplay and the old decent maps we used to have....

Too many? I barely see any :(

Yes, too many village maps.. (although they are not random..)

Also, random plains can be great or terrible depending on how random.
IMO if it is possible to influence the parameters creating them it should be like this for random plains:

10% really superflat maps  (This can be fun believe it or not)
60% flattish but slightly hilly maps   (Provides some cover in forests etc)
20% moar hilly maps (Good hills, bit campy but not excessive)
10% mountainous (Very campy maps)

Also the size should not often go to large.. that's just too large, especially when it is few players.
Medium size should be max I'd say.

One map related comment:

Whoever made the "Swadian city under siege" or whatever map..

Also, villages suck, great open field maps rule.

If someone will go "lol hiding behind a shieldwall is lame and boring then wait for flags", he is a ranged elitist douchebag, who is secretly bragging about not being able to abuse roof hugging during one map out of all the typical village-roofhug maps.

And mostly, never played during the old days, when there were actual shield wall clashes that were almost oscar worthy, in a scale of epicness. Everyone had his own role, even archers, yes.

I don't mind plains-maps. Those random hill-maps though.... YUCK! Disgusting!

There really are NO worse maps than when both teams have a friggin mountain to start on, with a valley in between.

too many random plain maps

Say what, i don't think there is enough random plains, it's just village after village after village, and not only that, it's the same god damn villages everyday, how many maps we got in rotation, 7 ?
