thanks for the graph Moros.
I'm now starting to fix & improve my old maps rather than making new ones. (still have 1 new coming too)

i made 4 maps and i am not in the list
the big world map
Asia map
detailed world map
brazil(detailed)

Keep up the good work Moros

Very interesting graph. It would be interesting to see all map makers and those averages (probably would have to link to that image, not post it directly).

Then you could see who could really use some tips.

I'd love to see a bell curve of the average map rating for all published maps (take maker out of the equation all together). Then you could see if we have a large number of bad maps or good maps, or a standard deviation.

Thats a little iffy Chris beacouse what people as a good map could be someone elses bad map. But you could use ratings to determin that but still a little iffy

Well, there are different reasons why something is rated bad or good. Something might be well made (no errors), but just have no depth to it (like duel).

Doesn't really matter why, I'd just be curious to see if we have a glut of 'bad' maps, regardless of why they are considered bad. It just means there are a bunch of maps most people don't want to play taking up space.

Here you go!


Interesting! It's good to see that there are more good than bad maps. But it could also be that Warlight players don't like to give maps a bad rating.
Also, this graph only shows about 4/5th of all maps, but I think it's close enough.

Interesting graphs. Glad to see that this isnt in the dustbin yet.

Who will be the first with the perfect 5.0 score? The perfect 1.0 had already been reached by this map: http://warlight.net/Map.aspx?ID=3981

http://warlight.net/Map.aspx?ID=5537

It got 4.73 in August 2, but now 3.97...

how do you rate maps?

When you play a map click rate map/review map button at end of game. It will be on the top left of your screen where the commands go.

Thanks Moros. I am glad to see the bulk are rated well. Though rating is completely arbitrary and everyone has different standards.

Yep...

Can you make new version of the mapbuilders graph? the most recent version is updated June 16 (2 months ago).

Once I have the time I will.

The distribution of ratings could also be caused by some people only rating the maps they really like, and are indifferent on other maps or couldn't be bothered to rate them. That is certainly the case with me.

^Agreed. I think the only maps that I've actually rated have been maps that I really enjoyed playing on, like Africa, British Isles, and most of the Featured Maps.
