Thats the thing though, they are poor because something has been missing. By combining the maps together they bring a completely new game to the boards.greenoaks wrote:do the 6 map pack maps cover all of mainland USA ?
No they do not. Adding some new territs would be good and also make this one unique and not a copy.

Alaska is not a part of the main land area of the USA.

Fine, it is not connected to the main part of the USA, but it is no less part of the USA. I should be included if this goes ahead. Hawaii is arguable on whether it should be included.

I'm a huge fan of basic gameplay maps. Not everyone is going to like them, just like not everyone likes the Feudal style maps, or large maps, or small maps. I'd rather see comments based on whether or not a map will work based on game play, whether it could be spruced up to make it more aesthetically pleasing, than to simply say "too similar to something else, I don't want another one!"

in fact since you mentioned Feudal, it's also worth mentioning that ALL 6 maps in this pack get less than half of the number of daily games that Feudal does. and all this considering the fact that they benefit from the popularity of the USA name and that they're a lot newer. so, yeah, even when it comes to gameplay all these maps can be considered poor. and imagine how little playtime they would get if they were maps of Gabon, Burkina Faso, Albania and Uzbekistan just to name a few countries with very few CC players.

There is also a much smaller pool of 'Feudal-style' maps than basic style maps, so that argument is a little faulty.
Over all, I think people would welcome this map, and I can see a large number of tournaments and clan games around an established theme like this.
