Do you think they fit this pool, well enough, though? They're both rather unusual.

I'm more inkleined to add Shit Island than Manshit. The former does seem to play more normally than the latter, and to boast greater civilization viability. What are your issues with it?Hazza54321 wrote:Its very cute that youre thinking about me .
However soldier the map is called shit island so I wouldn’t consider it to be reliable.

Moving on, removing Klondike seems reasonable, given the fact that it's basically High Plains without the natural resources, and with a perpendicular Route. Civilization viability seems more limited, on that map.
Removing Cascade Range seems less reasonable, given the fact that it has lots of food, while less hunts. What's your problem with the map, in this context?
However much I like the map (a lot), removing Thar Desert from the set is making more and more sense to me. Civilization viability seems too low, on that map.
I think you're right about Herald Island, when it comes to how it plays. I'm especially hesitant to add Manchac, in particular. As an aside, I think that map would be even more playable if the circle-plateaux and tree-lines were less obstructive, overall.

I'm sorry. I got caught up in Hazza's web of lies. I couldn't call either one that, but Herald might fit the bill for this inclusive set.IAmSoldieR wrote:I'm confused, Herald Island is the name according to the ESOC maps page. And those are both standard maps..
Civilization viability seems greater on Cascade Range, than on Thar Desert, despite the former also being unusual in a few ways. I think this is due to the resource distribution of food and wood, of the latter, which seems to result in more limited viability of less aggressive civilizations, on the map (also a result of Klondike's). I think the dunes is missing this particular point.Kaiserklein wrote:zoom wrote:I understand. I didn't mean to misrepresent your view.

Yeah Klondike is one of the least standard maps imo.
About cascade and thar, well, you get more hunts in your base on thar than on cascade. Sure you don't have berries, but berries are a bit of a last resort for many civs anyway. Also thar has more gold close to tc. In fact, cascade range happens to be the esoc map with the least gold overall, by quite a margin. It also has the least hunts overall. Now you can arguably add the level 1 treasures and the 2 ponds to the list of non standard stuff on this map. I'd say all that makes cascade at least as non standard as thar. I suspect people consider thar as very non standard mostly because of the dunes tbh.
And I agree with soldier both manchac and herald island are quite standard. It's true the manchac swamps are unusual, and the 3rd/4th goldmines are quite far (low gold map overall), but from my experience it plays out pretty standard because of average res in base and average TP line.

Agree on wabakimi, don't think dhaka is at a comparable level. maybe i just don't have as competitive of a mindset as you do for what "standard maps" should includeKaiserklein wrote:Can we please not have wabakimi in this map set as it's the opposite of standard? And same for dhaka

To me, if you green up a in a match up on "standard maps", you should more or less be able to win it no matter the map. Of course not all match ups will be fair, but it shouldn't be unwinnable. And dhaka has a lot of unwinnable match ups because of the pond.harcha wrote:Agree on wabakimi, don't think dhaka is at a comparable level. maybe i just don't have as competitive of a mindset as you do for what "standard maps" should includeKaiserklein wrote:Can we please not have wabakimi in this map set as it's the opposite of standard?

an alternative i propose to removing wabakimi is adding Winter Wonderland to standard map pool. i think we all need some more presents in our lives.

i just think that the design on dhaka is awesome/unique and it would be a shame to put the map to rest. what exactly do you think makes it unbalanced?Kaiserklein wrote:To me, if you green up a in a match up on "standard maps", you should more or less be able to win it no matter the map.

Even no TP maps are more playable for almost any civ than dhaka. Especially since we're going to rebalance TPs.

i consider the walled choke an alternative to a longer rush distance. the 4 TP is a bit annoying imo so i can agree thereKaiserklein wrote:I'm not saying the map can't be interesting. We could still have it in tourneys sometimes.
I'm saying it's not standard. We're talking about the "standard maps" set. I think we can both see why a map with super short rush distance, a choke that's walled every single game, a huge pond in the middle controlling everything, 4 TPs, isn't standard.
