List of things the foundry wants (for more input)

I am not new to the foundry as I do add my input to maps that are in beta. I am ignorant to most of the other things associated with the foundry. Is there a list of things the foundry is looking for as items they want more input from players on?

Just curios

Thanks

Personally, I'd like more skilled players with experience of various game types to wander in earlier in the development. Especially for maps in gameplay development (the threads with red dots). Gameplay feedback is something that has always been the most lacking in the foundry - we have tons of people with graphical skill, but not too many who can just walk in to a map thread and analyze all the aspects of the gameplay.

As a player of high quality HA, one thing I would love to see you do is get more into the drafting room and the main foundry to have a look at the game play issues. This goes for all players. The more input players give, the better the games and in the end, less work when in beta (if your suggestions work out).

Things to look for -
Are the legends clear.
Do the bonuses look OK.
Is there a pathway that should be deleted or added for better games.
Is the image itself clear on what can be done?

Really, just about any type of input given on game play would be great. Even if you think a map should go in a different direction with game play, say so.

natty has a question on GP right now that needs input...

See, lots of maps (these are just 3 of around 30) that could have a look over.
