4hundred 6 years ago Any chance we could arrange a vote based series of maps for MM 1v1?.. I find often maps repeating that are not too great, and near never classic 1v1 maps. we all have our tastes but i still think the maps are not correct. Not sure how this could be done. +1 / -0
4hundred 6 years ago My biggest gripe is when i play it's mostly these maps: La Isla Bonita v1.1 Adansonia v4.1 Crubick Plains v1.2 They look the same and play kinda similar. La usla is a ffa map to me, and crubic is annoying. Adansonia is bareable. +0 / -0
GoogleFrog 6 years ago Here is the list, for reference: http://zero-k.info/Maps?mapSupportLevel=3&size=Any&sea=Any&hills=Any&elongated=Any&assymetrical=Any&special=0&isTeams=Any&is1v1=true&ffa=Any&chicken=Any&isDownloadable=1&needsTagging=false&search= Current maps Here are the current maps. Here are the maps that I like enough to keep in the pool. They also represent a reasonably wide variety of games: Fairyland Intersection Hide and Seek Trojan Hills Titan Duel These maps have nothing particularly wrong with them. Perhaps they could be switched out for similar maps for the sake of variety: Badlands Barren Vittra Wanderlust Eye of Horus - It is a bit metal heavy. Lonely Oasis - Too many hard boundaries. Adansonia - Probably keep one of Adansonia and Lonely Oasis. I think I prefer Adansonia. Red Comet Avalanche Living Lands Obsidian Isle of Grief I'd remove these maps: Valles Marineris - Often ends up as an unintersting economy victory. La Isla Bonita - Often ends up as an unintersting economy victory. Crubick Plains - Often ends up as an unintersting economy victory. Onyx Cauldron - Annoying coastlines. Into Battle - RPS in the startboxes. Visually uninteresting. Replacements Here are some suggestions. Some little seen maps that I would like to see more of: Calayo Tandem Craters Archers Valley Desert Plateaus Some high economy maps: Desert Needle Small Iceland Bandit Plains Finns Revenge Red comet style maps: Dune Patrol IncultaV2 Alien Desert Some small maps: Cooper Hill Geyser Plains Altair Crossing Iced Coffee Quicksilver Aquatic Divide Tartarus Desert Cliffs Zion Frozen Planet Icy Shell +0 / -0
4hundred 6 years ago For lack of a better way to do this ill just mark, Keep, remove, undecided (1-3). IMHO Current maps. Fairyland - K Intersection - U Hide and Seek - U Trojan Hills - U Titan Duel - K Badlands - K Barren - U Vittra - K Wanderlust - K Eye of Horus - K Lonely Oasis - R Adansonia - K Red Comet - K Avalanche - U Living Lands - K Obsidian - U Isle of Grief - K Valles Marineris - K La Isla Bonita - R Crubick Plains - R Onyx Cauldron - U Into Battle - K with that i mostly agree with the cycle. Requested maps: Ravaged !! Fields of Isis IsisDelta Zed 2 lowland divide drab Aquatic divide +0 / -0
Skasi 6 years ago Personally I'd like to see things like Tabula, Tangerine, Heartbreaker, Scorpio battleground or even Bluebend, Archer's valley and rysia, but I understand that they're all probably considered too metal heavy. AquariusCrossing and Terra are probably small and low-econ enough and also look like they'd add quite a bit of variety to the matchmaking map pool. For comet type maps I'd suggest green comet. +1 / -0
Aquanim 6 years ago (edited 6 years ago) AFAIK green comet is neither symmetric nor balanced. I don't know that I'm requesting it as such but I would consider TandemCraters. The map most conspicuous by its absence from the current 1v1 map pool IMO is Ravaged by a large margin. I can understand there are some reasons for it though. +2 / -0
