Seriously, who designed such a stupid map that whoever gets Aoria or Borum usually wins

A lot of maps you can say the same! "Lucky" drops and dice can over run even the bravest hearts!? What you are experiencing is called the downs, as in ups & downs!?

I know there are tons of maps that have uneven drops and suck for 1vs1 play

but if you drop aoria, within 2 rounds you can be dropping 10. If you are in most of the other areas, it takes a minimum of 4 rounds to get the same bonus.

Should never have been let out of the foundry with the massive deploy imbalances that can happen.

Agreed!

I love pearl harbor as the most balanced map. Luck is such a big factor that it balances skill inbalances. It is therefore the best map.

All Your Bases is far and away the best map, dork.

by **Kevi** on Sun Oct 28, 2018 8:56 am

Stalingrad is cool

by **Dukasaur** on Sun Oct 28, 2018 9:38 am

Northwest Passage.

by **rockfist** on Sun Oct 28, 2018 1:12 pm

WWII Poland is the dumbest map.

That and All your Base are the only 2 maps I still avoid. I know All your Base is simple I just only play it once every year and I never do it right.

If the first player doesn't go on an insane bombarding run, stalingrad is one of my favorite maps

AOR2 is just fine. It's AOR1 that sucks complete fully suction ass. Maybe that was just assumed.

What's the history there, if any CC nerds are still reading. Was AOR1 made, it kinna sucked, made AOR2, it was kinna awesome, so AOR3 was made for those who wanted to get weird? Or were they all made around the same time

I love Northwest Passage. It's a great map.

All Your Base is probably okay, but I've never really gotten the hang of it. I've even had people babysit me through it and I still don't get it.

Ltrain....Dim, who was a good friend but gone now I believe, made those all at the same time if I recall. He just has ideas for differing play. I actually like aor I but, assuming all the players know the map, it is pretty much all about the drop. He also did age of merchants which can be similar.

All yo bases is my fave map. Love it, especially in say triples or quads. If youd like to learn it, happy to do a one v one and go step by step.

I'm just a huge sci-fi fan so it appeals....lol

Ah cool thanks I was wondering. And like Duka said, I've been tutored on it i just didnt get part of the end game scenario. Something about the bonus and the movement at the end doesn't add up. I'm sure I'm missing something

Age of merchants isn't played enough. Used to have it as a home map years ago but that team fell apart. thanks for reminding me!

Age of Merchants used to be a common map in clan wars and it became so well known that it just phased out. It can also be drop dependent.

by **xroads** on Mon Nov 05, 2018 8:37 am

I love age of merchants, just not 1 vs 1

by **Silly Knig-it** on Mon Nov 05, 2018 12:27 pm

Age of Merchants is still one of my go to 1v1 maps. The drop can get really make a difference or not. I like setting it up poly - ???. It seems to take away that drop advantage if there is one.
