Custom EP Map-sets

Post by zoom »

Hai!

With the significant help of developer-at-large Eaglemut, I've made a couple of custom EP map-sets that I believe are popular, and whose inclusion in the patch is uncertain at this time.

In order to make these map-sets available for unrated play, simply download and put them in your user directory's RMF folder (C:\Users\Username\Documents\My Games\Age of Empires 3\RMF). Please note that this is not your installation directory's RMF folder. Please be advised that these will only function on EP, while showing up on any patch. Finally, also please take the poll and give your opinion on whether one or both of these sets should be included in the patch.

ESOC Competitive Maps (AKA 'ESOC Super-Standard-TP-Maps') – a map-set featuring the most standard of ESOC maps with a trade route, making for an uncompromisingly balanced and consistent gameplay experience, especially suited for competitive play:

UIx ESOC Adirondacks
UIx ESOC Arizona
UIx ESOC Arkansas
UIx ESOC Baja California
UIx ESOC Colorado
UIx ESOC Great Basin
UIx ESOC High Plains
UIx ESOC Hudson Bay
UIx ESOC Kamchatka
UIx ESOC Manchuria
UIx ESOC Mendocino

ESOC Standard Maps – a map-set featuring relatively standard ESOC maps, striking a compromise between balance and variety:

UIx ESOC Adirondacks
UIx ESOC Alaska
UIx ESOC Arizona
UIx ESOC Arkansas
UIx ESOC Baja California
UIx ESOC Bengal
UIx ESOC Cascade Range
UIx ESOC Colorado
UIx ESOC Fertile Crescent
UIx ESOC Florida
UIx ESOC Gran Chaco
UIx ESOC Great Basin
UIx ESOC High plains
UIx ESOC Hudson Bay
UIx ESOC Jebel Musa
UIx ESOC Kamchatka
UIx ESOC Klondike
UIx ESOC Manchuria
UIx ESOC Mendocino
UIx ESOC Pampas Sierras
UIx ESOC Tassili

There should be a "both" option.

I voted for both, so there's no need to add a «both» option.

Jebel Musa should be totally removed.

I don't agree with this - it isn't "standard" because of the weird chokes which cause silly pathing. It's a bit of a niche map imo. However I'd still just play ESOC maps as I don't agree balance is purely around being able to build tps.

I consider it one of the least standard ESOC maps, on account of its chokes, pathing and Lakota naive Americans.
