Okay, so we're looking for new League maps.

[Felix45]

ratings count for nothing.

Blanci, it isn't enough for a map to not be obviously busted. There are 5 000 playable maps on AWBW. Yes, it's playable. It's also very ugly, and, I suspect, not much fun.

Blanci I agree with rast here. I dont care if the map is ugly, but I hate the centre. The centre propertys are too bunched up toghther.

[psycho guy]

that map has visibility issues

it would increase the time it takes for me to move by a factor of 2 at least

[blanci1]

ok there might be something unstable or racey with the centre... thats a valid point ... but ugliness? thats just nonsensical to argue about that , and i do think that the rating of over 7/10 in 7 ratings DOES indicate it is not particularly ugly, at least not to most people. Clearly ratings from newbs cant be reliable for gameplay, but they can be reliable for measuring beauty or ugliness, since its a purely subjective statistical concept independant of playing skill.

rast do you think those 7 ratings were from people who think it was ugly? ok i accept you think its ugly but why cant you accept others think the opposite. Do we only consider maps which you personally find beautiful?

Now you say you suspect its not much fun... suspect .... you havent played it. Again you are not giving me any credit for my opinion and experience .... i have played the map twice and it was fun. And im playing now against sulla and it is fun again ... there may be a centre property problem ... though not for me at least not yet. Its debateable. But theres lots of debateable maps .... ok so it may need more test games ... but it doesnt need dismissing out of hand, especially when its being recomended by someone other than its creator !

imo this map has some originality and its worth considering carefully.

Blanci, I submit to you four reasons why that map will not be in the leauges:



Each one of those areas suffers from severe terraining issues, and they make the map ugly.

[funwes]

Why didn't you just circle the whole map?

[nerd-boy]

Because that's not very specific.

Better to highlight 4 individual faults than one overarching one.

Do we even have to discuss? It's pretty obvious that the map is just ugly

You are just being ridiculous by claiming a map is ugly when other people think it is beautiful.
Also there is nothing wrong gameplaywise with an area of desert(region 1) as i have been trying to explain in many places.
And I already said the sea plays only a decorative role (areas 2, 3 and 4). Its not a problem.... like a painting with a big thick frame .... the painting can still be fine. In fact one of my opponents wasted time and lost the game opening pipe and trying to use the sea .... theres nothing wrong with some useless features on a map .... its quite realistic.

lol this isn't gonna turn into that opponent search topic is it?

I notice some similarities.

The lack of aforementioned common sense being one.

The map is horrible, I don't see any reason for it to be in the leagues

[blanci1]

Thats a nice picture rast .... kind of illustrates what we are talking about.
Surely everyone doesnt thinks shes ugly ?
