I don't remember what it's called, could have been an ATS map. But I can describe it. Big fort in the middle of this large map of snow/ice (very blue appearing) One side gets to the fort by crossing a wrecked ship, the other must go through a large moat of water to reach the fort. It's a pretty sweet map, fairly flat in most places, but it's nice because cav for the most part is secluded from the middle area, giving the infantry and range that area to fight (primarily) and the cav mainly run the outskirts of the map.
We always referred to it as the Blue Cake map, so hopefully this rings a bell and someone can remember what the name of it was.
I know which map you mean now, but I do not just need a name, I need a download link to actually be able to review and perhaps implement the map. Knowing the name might allow you to find it, but with a small game like Warband that might still prove difficult. So if you really want a map you are going to have to find the download link yourself. Now that we are talking about ATS maps, I believe they had a fairly large map pack which contained a lot of horrible maps, but also a bunch of good ones, of which some are on the server. I thought they also modified the Native maps to make them better for cRPG and I have been looking for that version of Port Assault with an extra route on the side, which might have been theirs. If someone is able to find a download link for the ATS Map Pack or contact info of someone that could have, please PM me. I'll then have a look at the entire pack to see what I can salvage.
What? Blue Icee castle was still on the server somewhere? I thought it was removed over a year ago.
The only instance where I saw it was when I logged on the Chinese server for half an hour out of curiousity.
I have no idea why this hasn't been the case for months. Years even(?). When admins ask the server "what map should I change this to" the answer is arena 99% of the time.
As said earlier, Arena is too small for anything above 50 players and is filled with campable spots like the towers and corridors. If someone feels like making a map like Arena but then more fit for cRPG, as in larger and less camping spots and slightly more protected spawns, it should be extremely easy. Especially when using current Arena as a working platform. Perhaps a good first mapping endeavour for someone new? Mapping is fairly easy and straightforward, don't be afraid to try it.
Also, my experience on EU servers is that admins and votes usually change the map to Ruins, which is a map that caters to all.
