You can look at these on the create game screen.


If there are any maps you dont like, let me know. I haven't played many of them, I'm just going by appearances.

There are 14 listed here, none of which were used in season 1.

281
291
65
325
419
400
361
365
74
397
54
70
60
331

I think I've played almost half of these, and I remember them as fun. Of the maps I havn't played, nr 60 is the onlyone I'm not sure about. Since it only has 9 markets. But it'll probably be worth trying once on each variant.

I have no problem with these maps

I don't think any of them are broken

good play / bad play >>> good luck / bad luck >>> map variety
will balance out and we will all have fun playing

400 and 281 are too similar
361 and 325 aren't favorites, but playable.
54 I think is too big for 2 player.

Other maps to consider for 2 player, multi-variant that I don't think have been used:

367
251
228
208
193
160
132

I think your comments are valid, though a little overfocused on play in a no variant scenario. 228 is far more interesting in variant 1 or 2. (Same goes for 193)

great, my message is sent to hell, that's a really nice error message... I really hate this forum sometimes.

Can't believe I spent all that time replying to this thread and it's just lost, I'd rather play Bus for an eternity sometimes.... lol.

just hit back and refresh usually works for me

Right then.

Is there a preference for symmetrical, or non-symmetrical? I've still not played many games compared to a lot of people here, but enough to make some suggestions:

182 - had a decent enough 2p game with nmichaelk
254 - played 2p fun game earlier in my time here, not sure if you would deem it suitable
303 - another cluster or something similar?
387 - was an animal rush 3p, not sure about suitability

Of course, every map plays differently on the variants, so there's always some interesting differences each time.

Of those suggested:

325 - worked nicely 3p, don't know about 2p
361 - fun 2p game I had with Shizzane
400 - I had the pleasure of being beaten on here, and I agree it's a nice enough 2p challenge
419 - as above, and it's a non-symmetricaly map, but it actually felt like the game was decided quite early on in terms of land placement, anyone else played this one?

I also wondered if some of the maps from the 3 player small map tournament we had recently would work, I quite liked 138, certainly with 2p in mind.

Sorry IBX, I haven't played any of your suggested maps and I don't have enough experience yet to know what to make of maps I haven't played.

Although, 354 looks interesting...

Oh, and map 65 did actually get used in the first league when the draw went 'south' and a couple of games were on a different map in round 4 for some reason. Just to be picky.
