Dear Friends:
Some people, including myself, felt we ended up with not enough variety in maps in CCC 43.
In this thread please post, your favorite maps for a CCC type competition for given events/eras.
For openera,
a) What's best map for Duels 1v1? b) What's best for teamers in each era: Ancient, Classical, Rennaissance, Industrial, Modern, Future. c) What's best for Ironman? d) What's best for OCC: Ancient, Classical, Rennaissance, Industrial starts? e) What's best for team "battle" style matches?
We will take these results and perhaps turn it into a poll it there isn't a clear consensus. This information will help guide map selection for CCC 45.
Please give your preferences and the reasons for them whenever possible. Thank you.
Best, SPM

A) Mirror B) Ancient -- TBG Classical -- TBG Medieval -- Inland Sea Renaissance -- Inland Sea Industrial -- Ring Modern -- TBG Future -- Inland Sea C) Ring D) OCC should be only 1 event, a teamer, 2v2, on HB_TBG, rotating era every CCC from Ancient through Renaissance starts E) All teamers are more or less team battles, don't really understand what you're asking here.

A) Mirror B) Ancient -- TBG Classical -- TBG Medieval -- Inland Sea Renaissance -- Inland Sea Industrial -- Ring Modern -- TBG Future -- Inland Sea C) I'm not a big player of epic games, but I would think Ring or Wheel. D) There should only be one OCC: a teamer. The best map for it is HB_TBG set to toroidal world wrap so that nobody gets screwed on land points. E) It depends entirely on the era and number of players in the game. I also wonder what other type of teamer there is.

Hub for Ironman
2 Large Continents 1 per team for a 3 v 3 Future
Oh and lose The Random Random its too much of a lottery event IMO

2 Large Continents 1 per team for a 3 v 3 Future Why? Having two unconnected landmasses in future was a nightmare. Inland Sea is great because it allows land and naval fighting. Then why have I won 11 of the 13 random/random games I've played, including one where I was on a continent alone with two members of the other team? I don't mean to toot my own horn (and Zvon certainly also deserves a ton of credit), but it's definitely not all luck.

a) Must be mirrior - but as moin says vanilla would proally work alot better - Also if possible maybe have it so you always start with food @ fat cross.
b)
i) Ancient - TBG, im starting to get rather bored of this map myself, but its a classic and still pretty popular - I would NEVER reccomend this on anything less then stadard tho. ii) Classical - This has to be big enough to stop charriot/impi/etc rushes on somone that does not have a resource or a chance to get one. I think blanced works well on this. iii) Medi - I think blanced is very nice on this, pretty of fun and seems popular, well on weekends anyway. iv) Ren - Like it or loathe it ren inlandsea is abit of a classic and it does support the era quite well.
c) Ironman - I think epics would work great on custom made maps, this would only take about an hour to make.
d) OCC can be any era ancient to ren IMO, on a HB map. But like most in here i dont see the sense in 2 OCC events? 1 is more then enough.

The most common Ladder game of the moment is OCC so why cant we have 3 OCCs one on Each day of the at least leave the number at 2 or make a poll about it

c) pangaea or fractal sounds the best map for ironman, wheel, hub and rings are so boring and get so much desert for most players..
d)how about a random era for the OCC? it can be fun imo. otherwise, an epic OCC from anc to space sounds good and can be really interesting.

A) Mirror B) Ancient -- TBG (TvB) Classical -- TBG (TvB) Medieval -- Inland Sea Renaissance -- Inland Sea Industrial -- Ring Modern -- TBG (TvB) Future -- Inland Sea C) Ring D) OCC should be only 1 event, a teamer, 2v2, on HB_TBG, rotating era every CCC from Ancient through Renaissance starts. E) All teamers are battles between teams. That's kind of the defination of team events...
And as for fractal; having 3 members of one team start on a mega continent while the 3 members of the other team start of nutsty little rocks with no water on them isn;t fun, and pretty goddamn unbalanced.

I think OCC 2v2 should be played on mirror map as the starting land is really really important. Yesterday we did a 2v2 and my teammates get a f**k*** bad land : no food... The game was lost since the first turn. No chance to win at point and no chance to won on tech as he didn't have a good land to make cottage neither GP.
If someone could make a mirror HB/C4F map it would be great.
Not me ^^ Hoppefully for you there is not much water map in CCC...

please no ring for ironman Would favor some players far too much over some other players, in terms of positioning of players, get noob neighbours you win, same as Inland Sea(just worse here). I don't mind bad land or bad start, but the map should allow for more combat paths and directions to attack, or alternatively play a hub like map where its even for all sorta speaking. Hub, pangeae, wrapped Inland sea, Lakes, wheel, fractal, balanced. Depends I guess what kinda game you want it to be. Random could be good too And stop whining about bad land, it's supposed to be a bit random. Not good start for everyone. For teamers: Ancient, I think wrapped Inland sea, lakes, tbg, pangeae, balanced are good maps Classical, Classic same maps basically. Rennaissance, here good maps: Ring, Inland sea(wrapped or not), TBG, pangeae. I'd think some change could be in order from inland sea. Maybe go with pangeae here? Allows for some better boat action + more fronts to attack from. Wheel is an ok choise too. Industrial Same maps as rene. Dunno bout modern/future, they just suck so map can't improve it:)

Hi folks,
I'm Penny from LKT, and most likely to play the Ironman next CCC.
Just a short notice to let you know that after practicing several times with players from different clans, we all agreed that the HUB map is way better with the TROPICAL setting on.
Is still think HUB is the best solution as a map, and I'm sure people who don"t like it because of the amount of desert will appreciate it with the tropical setting turned on.
Oh yeah and BTW, I prefer Inland Sea for the Medieval 3v3.
See ya all,
Penny
