Post by big_bada »

I think this is the ranked map pool. Could be mistaken tho. It doesnā€™t appear like we will get a map pool like aoe2 imo.

This is the standard mapset, does it use these maps?

Dakota
Colorado
Fertile Crescent
Mexico
Borneo
Florida
Saguenay
Kamchatka
Central Plain
Mongolia
Korea
Punjab
Baja California
Hokkaido

There is no way Indonesia is a ranked map.

The ranked map pool seems to have changed. Gran Chaco is in it too, I got it today.

Why is the map pool a secret... Can someone datamine the info? Do we need a colaborative thread to keep track of the map pool?

They switched it to the competitive map set I think. Tho idk why Indonesia.

Araucania went from too few resources to shit tons of resources (way too many). 1v1 spawn has enough food for a 3v3 lol.

Does this feel right? I think if I remember correctly it is just the competitive map set. No non-TP maps. All RE maps on this list have had a resource rebalance.

Alaska
Andes Upper
Araucania
Arctic Territories
Baja California
Borneo
Cascade Range
Central Plain
Colorado
Dakota
Deccan
Fertile Crescent
Florida
Gran Chaco
Hokkaido
Himalayas
Indonesia
Kamchatka
Korea
Manchuria
Malaysia
Mexico
Mongolia
New England
Ozarks
Pampas Sierras
Parallel Rivers
Patagonia
Punjab
Saguenay
Siberia
Yukon

I think all the map sets are simple in the RandMaps folder and have the extension .set

But itā€™s not obvious which is for QS. Nor is it obvious how/when/why QS maps change.

Yeah. You're right. I loaded the game up and it is not clear. I think with the insider info I have I'm pretty sure QS uses the competitive mapset for 1v1. I am not sure if it uses the Team Random set for team QS.

I realized shortly after telling people to look at code that not everyone is code literate. For those of you who haven't yet entered the rabbit whole of programming, pic attached for the map set (sorted alphabetically). This was mined from the .set files

Yes you read this correctly. No Yukon (And patagonia for that matter) is not a typo. This is probably a slight error in the implementation of sets. It was a technique used in the TAD mapsets to give extra weight to the TAD maps. They had each vanilla/twc map entered twice and all TAD maps entered thrice which made them proportionally more likely to occur. Yukon thus has a 2/36 chance to occur in American Random while the other maps should all have 1/36. The more you know. I think I'm going to invest in yukon strats :hmm: :hmm:
