Because we all know this game is about manly heroic sword duels in congested maps done over and over to the point of nausea (nord town makes me throw up...many of those other overplayed maps make me sick too (don't know the names)). I quit another game I used to play because every time I went to play (really not exaggerating) they were playing THE SAME overplayed mind numbing repetitive congested urban map.  One way to ruin a game is play the same maps OVER AND OVER. But you can't argue with some people. Some don't want diversity.
De_Dust2 anyone?

Not saying it's a bad map but for gods sake I haven't even SEEN half of the native maps in multiplayer. Only time I saw them was when I went on them myself alone just to see what they looked like.

This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

The problem with those native city maps is that they were designed with much smaller player counts in mind.

This is very true. They're fine so long as you have less than 50 players on the map at a time. Anything more than that and it gets a bit crowded.

There are a couple which do well with large numbers of players. Field by the River, Snowy Village, Castle 2, but most of them were made for 20 man teams in mind.
So with PT >10 stones become simple too effective

Looking at those posts stating 'no'

They're mostly NA players, being too paranoid and conscious about personal kill counts instead of overall immersion and teamwork victories.

I'd like to participate such large scale battle instead of some street brawls, and if those organized battles occur more frequent in flat, open plains, then I have my vote for Yes, more open plain maps.

but it is also true that in a lot of infantrie favored maps, cav can't even play and in cav favored maps all classes can play how they should be played
Exactly what I was thinking.
+1 for you Berethorn. :D

It would be nice if the random plain maps were actually plain instead of hilly.
But yes, I want more plain maps. I really dislike hilly maps. No matter if I play on foot or on horse.

and a hilly setting wouldn't be picked by warlords to march to war, so pretty unlogic that they are in the game anyway :wink:

actually, NA players are probably saying "no" because we have enough cav friendly maps as is.

Well the poll is at a considerable majority and says otherwise.

Oh, the NA side of cRPG will always love their closed-in city maps that favor huddled crushthroughs and chokepoints. I should know... I'm one of the NA. But I'm still 100% for the open field maps. Good prep for strateugs, and a good way to actually bring some teamplay to the NA side of cRPG. There are like... 1-2 factions in NA who actually play as a group. I see many more in EU.

It does represent the proportion of cav player, yesterday on percores server we had more cav player than melee !!!
If you want flat cav map go play on the shogunate server if it's still  there, it's only flat cav map.

Reroling cav next gen on my archer and melee, tired of playing pikeman all the time or shooting mainly horses.
