I thought the mongol empire map would be more popular than it is

I like the look of it but it's a tough one to play for me (don't like the lack of small bonuses).

..using it for my homegames in 1v1 tournaments. The best small CC map!
Guiscard is an awesome mapmaker.
I just think he´s ready to make a larger map, and I hope he will modify his roman empire map (using as many countries as possible and dropping the slightly catholic theme) to satisfy my wet dreams.
I bet it would be a bullet on this list, though I don´t dare to comment more in that thread since most ppl seem to want to keep it simple and generic.

DiM, you may as well start your own CTM thread so you can change the topic and such.

I thought this would be useful. Its a rank of which maps are most being played (active games). Ranked by number of pages listed. Each page is 100 games, except for the final page which could be from 1-100 games. . Hopefully this will help us create better maps in the future.

[cairnswk]

so is anyone continuing with these updates anymore?

[hulmey]

i would help sum1 keep them going. A two man team is the best thing coz its not always possible to be consistent.

Also think it would help to sticky the thing and i have asked Andy for it to be stickied but got no reply!! Although i think the best place to post it would be in general discussions so that people who never enter the map foundry can view it as well

Hulmey, thats a good idea about it being in the General discussion....
there could also be a link to maps in development with it so that we could encourage GD posters to visit the forum and assist with discussion more.

[AndyDufresne]

IF you are interested, I suggest starting over...a topic in the GD. Explain what it is you are doing, how everything is calculated, and what shown means. We can then close and lock this topic for reference to via the new Topic. We can also look into stickying it if it seems popular in the GD.

I agree with this idea. It would be nice to have some more eyes looking over the new maps. Plus, we all as map makers and foundry regulars, might be overlooking or ignoring things that general players want or need.
