Mappool in new Version
Posted: Tue Mar 23, 2021 1:25 am
Hi.
I noticed that many of the official maps got nuked, and I can't really see a good reason to do so.
It was nice to have a medium pool of maps that are more or less well balanced for a fast game online - most of the custom maps either lack visual style or strategic depth, and especially Tabula Rasa, Vihaan Lunta, Puddles redux and Six below Zero were among my favorite maps (I do mostly 2v2). I did play them almost every evening.
Some of the new maps seem either rather gimmicky or unbalanced (played the "Europe" thing as a custom map once and found it a rather odd experience) or to be aimed at bigger parties - so they aren't a substitute for the maps that are lost.
This would be only a bit annoying if it would be possible to play Custom Maps on dedicated Servers and play the "lost maps" this way, but the ability to download maps from the resource center is gone. Is this how it should be?
Thanks for the great game, though!
