Looking at the vote count, a lot of people have to get the *bleep* out.

by **TalynStarburst** on Sun Jan 09, 2011 12:49 am

Monsters for sure for me..
others worth mentioning that i love are

Christmas (going to miss it until next year!)
Dawn of Ages
Woodboro
Lunar War

can tell i like the complex maps.

I voted Japan, but I noticed Hive was missing

Stalingrad - a masterpiece. Close 2nd to Napoleonic Europe.

by **Raskholnikov** on Sun Jan 09, 2011 7:21 pm

Well I am really humbled to see how many of you all like Napoleonic Europe. I still have the first draft, drawn by hand, on a piece of paper, and am amazed what Kab and ender managed to do with it to arrive at the final version. Biased or not, my vote goes to it - but I must say that, from an artistic point of view, I truly love Japan - its simplicity, balance and fidelity to its theme are a model of design and execution. However, from a purely creative point of view, Dawn of Ages is truly a work of art - its hand-drawn black ink on old parchment is simply masterful, and so is it adaptation of various folk legends into a coherent whole.

All in all, rather than just one map, my vote for this year goes to Kab as 2010's outstanding mapmaker - and given his King's Court and Fall of Roman Empire, it will be hard to supplant him in 2011... Thanks for everything Kab! Working with you was both a pleasure and a privilege...

Their are 4 maps on here that are favorites. All for different reason. How about you give us more than 1 vote.

by **HighlanderAttack** on Sun Jan 09, 2011 9:04 pm

I agree with more votes

My two were:

Monsters
Woodboro

I like many of the other ones but these two were my favorites

Voted woodboro but I could've went with Nordic countries or the world cup map or lunar war.

It was a great year in the foundry, I'm looking forward to what 2011 will bring with some quality betas already out there.

I had to vote for Napoleonic Europe.
Honorable mention to 13 Colonies, Stalingrad (still haven't figured that one out) Thyseneal, Nordic Countries, and Christmas.

dawn of Ages

by **ws1** on Mon Jan 10, 2011 7:16 pm

None of the above

by **fumandomuerte** on Tue Jan 11, 2011 3:06 am

If I was to decide in terms of the gameplay no doubt I'll pick Stalingrad.
Graphically I'd have to declare a tie among at least 5 maps (like Flanders, Cyprus, Napoleonic, etc.).
Great production last year. Even though I still miss WidowMakers and Qwert

by **roadhawg** on Tue Jan 11, 2011 3:54 am

I have started playing Fractured America and the panel says thumbs up =D>

by **grifftron** on Tue Jan 11, 2011 5:23 am

Lunar war hands down!

More like the best map that is and is to come baby!

Napoleonic Europe 1812

by **DubWarrior** on Thu Jan 13, 2011 7:45 am

Remarkable much popularity of the Napoleontic map. I like the theme but never really get the map, should play a bit more on it than. Was a very nice year and fun to have an own map in this top (Flanders 1302)

I loved for gameplay Nordic, woodboro and Dawn of ages. Graphically i like South America, Celtics (yes, finally hand drawn maps!), Mexico and Japan, but my favorite is a great map in any way, Fractured America. Love the graphics, the gameplay, objectives, even the storyline. Thumbs up!!!
