I've done a similar maps link on the database page (not published yet) and wanted to run this past you guys first.
Note this not a measure of complexity.
It is grouping maps having similar gameplay based on its tags.
Each group contains a list of maps which are described as having similar gameplay. No map can be in 2 groups.
1. AOR2, Fedual War
2.AOR1, AOR3, New World, Poker Club
3.City Mogul, Operation Drug War, WWII Gazala
4.Oasis, Europe 1914, Holy Roman Empire
5.Waterloo, WWII Ardennes
6. Pear Harbor, Arms Race, Greater China, WWII Western Front, WWII Europe
7. Supermax Prison Riot, Berlin 1961
8. Battle of Actium, Duck and Cover
9. Europa, Great Lakes, Imperium Romanum, Italy, NYC, Scotland, USApocalypse
10. Age of Merchants, American Civil War, Egypt: Valley of the Kings, Halloween Hollows, Madness, War Of The Triple Alliance

20. Africa, Archipelago, Arctic, Brazil, Charleston, France, Iberia, North America, South America, US Senate, WWII Australia
21. Alexander's Empire, Classic Shapes, CCU, Citadel, Crossword, Extreme Global Warming, Iceland
Some of these probably need moving around but the idea is that if the tags are well defined enough , then it is possible
to subdivide the maps into groups with similar gameplay tags.
Comments , moving maps around, questions all welcome.
