Too bad, I like the aesthetics of the map, and I also like siege maps that have a timer-open unbreakable gate (as opposed to insta open breakable doors) near the flag which is critical to win/loss.

Yes, it's not actually the entry points but the script that makes people spawn at weird places. It has do with the how close/far from the flag people are, and the amount of friendlies/enemies close by (which is why it happens, on some maps, that attackers spawn inside of castles/bases). I will be removing the map soonish, since this issue is not resolvable with the current map design ('siege script' does not like heights and S shapes either).

This always seemed crazy to me. The one question I can never think of a decent answer to is, why did the taleworlds team decide to use a convulted points system based on living players current position, flag location and height rather than say... Just making entry points 0-31 attacker spawns and 32-64 defender spawns? Like every other multiplayer game ever.

The siege script actually makes it impossible to have certain spawn layouts for castles. You can't have attackers spawning 360 degrees around the castle without some spawning inside for example.
Maybe you are not bad, but you are a boring person. Well, that's the end of the matter.

Fixed your quote so it applies to the haphazard coding of the entire game.

Even just making maps is an exercise in hilarity.  Map names, filenames, terrains, random vegetation, and background scene are all inconveniently stored completely separately from map files themselves in two separate configuration files.

Stonehammer is worse than before now....instead of gate at start we now have a gate in the middle which is very hard to destroy due to defenders constantly jumping on you :rolleyes:

One of the map called Ambushed or something like that can cause a massive fps drop to most players. (Go in game and ask if people has this problem, most has). Forest lake is ok but that ambush map can cause massive lag spikes. Its not just me, ask people in game to see the truth.

I wouldnt say its worse, but its just the same.  All attackers take the same route and 95% of all fighting takes place in a 20x20 area near flag.  Map is terrible.

Ironmine really needs to be removed from the server. It is unplayable for cav and very unbalanced. Not to mention how easy it is to camp.

Please remove immediately. Thanks.

Ironmine is fine, for cav too.
/Fact from a cav.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

Never seen any real problems with Ironmine on EU. Most people seem to enjoy it.

I have a request for the map that was once used in the rotation. I can't recall the name, but it was a Sarranid harbour town, one team started at the docks, the other in the town. It was all buildings and access to rooftops, also one big tower in the middle.

You mean the one with the large wooden bowls full of dyes?

Also, please remove Spring flood, its such a poor map for everyone, just results in stupid ranged camp fests on the bridge

All I see is cav complaining. Map is fine. Swadian town maps are decent for cav as well. It's not an open field, that doesn't mean it's bad, it's another sort of map.
