Some maps are 1v1 maps, pretty bad for team,
manchac, klondike, tibet, thar desert not that good for da team bois

there are lot of maps are actually good for teamming like jabel musa, manchuria,
it would be cool if we'll see siberia or RE maps like that

1v1 maps have food problems for 2v2, it is not opti ( not optimus prime ), we should not play map that aren't in ruleset team ( ESOC TEAM MAPS )

"""" viewtopic.php?f=158&t=13475 """ link team maps ,it should be these cards

Manchac does actually look pretty awful in 2v2 (just checked). All of the resources spawn on the left side of the map, so if you're the player spawning on the right you're kinda screwed.

Other than that I don't see what's wrong with the other maps for team games except that people dislike playing on them?

Thar desert: It's already in the team map pool.
Klondike, Tibet: Both these maps have interesting designs with probability of lot of interesting strategies.
We tried for RE maps but we don't have UI for them.

You have the option to select a less food dependent civilization if food is the problem, learn to adapt to situation. Remember game starts right when you enter from civilization picking to the combination of civilization and not just on maps.

Well Tibet and Klondike are just terrible for teamplays
Then cast the recs ?
Siberia, Himma are just 100x better than Klondike or tibet really

Again, I can't really see what is wrong with those maps other than you just disliking them.

Sign Ups will strictly close at 18:30 gmt Friday for this tournament. As there is lot of work such as matching RNG players, removing second player from each team to make brackets, and other stuff no late signups will be allowed. So please make sure if you are interested you sign up in time. Thank you!
