From what iv seen in the warband community the mappers and modders in general arnt anywhere near as creative as ones in other games.
In any call of duty or valve game there has been hundreds of different types of maps, everyone seems to want to stick to the medieval style on here. Mappers in other games dont stick to the same thing... so why do it on here?
It does get abit boring playing plains and villages all the time id love it if a server just had new and different maps on it.
Well, yeah, cause guess what: they fit into the style.
Do you think in medieval times it looked different everywhere or what? People were not that developed, world was not that crowded, so the style of the maps fits this. I can do with them bigger city maps (the one with underground passage is qutie cool actually). But dont do any maps ported from other games. As ginger stated, even i fucking played CS, i know some of the maps by looks and just couldnt get over playing crpg on a stuff that reminds me of CS...
