Henry, we in Tiberian Dawn (TD) thought that you were a notorious smurf (a very good player that pretends to be a newbie and thus unbalances games). I'm sorry about that. If you came back to TD you'd be made most welcome. We give new players tips and some players will give tutorials in 1v1 games etc.

No map will make it into the official map pool that has advanced rule sets on them due to the chance of them breaking after every client update. I attempted to avoid all map versions with advanced rules for that reason. A check will reveal if any slipped through. The map Letters from Lexington was ...

Sire wrote: I do vastly prefer this list than the one currently on the playtest, but if I could make two suggestions, they would be.

1. Break of Day (4 Player Map)
2. East vs West 3 (3 v 3)
Thanks Sire, I've put East vs West 3 back into the list.

On the contrary, I for one appreciate the initiative taken and effort made by dtluna, and I have told him that. I also told him that I was working, along with others, on an alternative map pool. I don't understand the basis for your dismay. This thread is about community engagement, not a rejection ...

I don't think that's how the selection worked. One infrequent player (dtluna) made a selection, which was adjusted by SoScared and some of the devs. The overhaul of the official map pool was discussed here: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/pull/12798 That demonstrates the selection wasn't simply bas...

Replacing the official TD map pool

I present a selection of maps intended to replace the official TD map pool (replacing the maps in the playtest). I chose this list in collaboration with a few regular TD players and it's still open to discussion. I have attached archives (both .zip and .tar.gz) containing the correct version of each...

@AoA, I appreciate the work you do for TD. With regards to adopting the RA mechanic of external engineer capture... Engineers are already used in TD. I use them quite often and so do others. In addition to their expense, I think that the main reasons that they aren't used more are: they are vulnerab...
