The official eu1/eu2 "this map sucks/I want this map" thread

If no one stops me, I am going to revise the map cycle on eu1/eu2 next weekend, as there are some strange villages in there.
If you find a map you would like to see removed, get me it's name and a reason why it sucks (screenshot gives bonus points, if its a village, you can use http://eelio.pagesperso-orange.fr/ to get a nice picture). Just telling me to remove that village on that hill won't do the trick, as there are 110 villages, so please provide a name. If you dont want to lose your modifier, you can start mb:wb a second time and look at the server browser to see the name of the map.

If you want a map added, provide screenshots, links to download etc, but I won't add fantasy (flying fortress stuff), symmetrical maps (like the NA-bridge map) or other imbalanced/strange maps.



The removal list so far (if you see a map you want to keep, give me a reason, or fix it when it just needs to be fixed). Will be changed according to the poll:

    Unbalanced:
    • Uzgha, it's a village siege, not battle. Looks nice, but not balanced at all
    • Aldelen, unbalanced sides, provides too much camping
    • Amashke, unbalanced sides, provides too much camping


    Broken spawns:
    • Ibiran, the spawns are next to each others.
    • Jayek, the spawns are next to each others. Or change spawns.
    • Elberl, spawns are next to each others. Could be nice map if spawns are changed.
    • Ismirala, unbalanced spawn again
    • Saren
    • tshibtin

    Dull, boring, or not really battle material
    • Gisim, shitty huge mountain! Spawn change could fix this though.
    • Jamiche, very open and flat field in front of village
    • Dugan, very open and flat field in front of village
    • Habba, same as Dugan
    • Dusturil. One team starts in village, the other under a giant hill. Very boring.

    The add list so far:

    -That one awesome ruins map I saw on eu4, if you have the name/link/permission, please tell me

    Thranduil
    -Bariyye
    -Blue Bells & Beech Trees
    -Burning of the Ships
    -RuIn
    -Santa's Castle

    Nasturtium
    -Ambushed

    Chagan_Arslan
    -River delta
    -Tilting at windmills



    Lets hope that list gets a little bit longer until next weekend  :wink:

Official as in "I got access to the map cycle and if no one stops me I do it"

Also, feel free to submit village maps with fixed spawns, if only thats the problem.

I always see everyone complaining about nearly only village maps on the servers, if you don't bring suggestions until the weekend, it will never change!  :(

Less "lul I iz put ladd0rz and kampz villge" maps.

More random plains/etc maps.

That's it.  :wink:

(almost) Every village map is unbalanced imo, for this I'd prefer the villages to be removed by a different key : the unique/interesting/different ones should stay and those that are so much similar to each other and boring should be removed. also those villages with extremely steep hills should be removed imo.

I agree with the list, but Uzgha village is imo nice - there is no village like this one and it brings nice variety into the game. I also don't think its so unbalanced as people think. Scaling the walls is easy there from all the sides and defenders on roof often get into crossfire. I'd keep this one :o)

aye and +1 for christo - more open fields please

i also prefer NA servers map rotation that is way faster. on eu the 5:4 matches take ages and the map gets often boring very quickly, especially when you know there are going to be 3 more rounds at least of just this map that you hate.... i'm down for faster map rotation.

Gisim, shitty huge mountain! Spawn change could fix this though.

We were defending that village several times on Strat battles, it's a killer unless you know how to do it  8-).  But I agree - shitty huge mountain!

Added a poll, as I feel the same for Uzgha, might not be balanced, but still fun to play, if you don't need to keep that x5 all the time.

As usual, people will constantly bitch and moan in-game. Someone decides to do something about it and there's silence.

Afraid?

Field battles would be cool though. I miss them.
