All MME-style templates must be purged!

Do we have any template with Limited Full Distribution? I can't discern.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think:

Discovery - http://md-ladder.cloudapp.net/template?templateId=940664

Earthsea - http://md-ladder.cloudapp.net/template?templateId=940662

Elitist Africa - http://md-ladder.cloudapp.net/template?templateId=944620

Georgia Army Cap - http://md-ladder.cloudapp.net/template?templateId=945791

Maybe it's my fault, but by "Limited Full Distribution" I meant the distribution option where the total number of territories available to pick equals 2 times the initial number of territories each player receives.

Yeah it's probably my fault.

So none of the templates you mention exemplifies the distribution option I have in mind.

But this one (Great Lakes) does: https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=9132887

There are 16 territories. Each player receives 8. This allows you to know the starting territories of your enemy.

So, do we have any such template on the MDL? If not, I'd suggest to include one. Great Lakes might be a good option, for instance.

there are none lfd temps on the mdl your right

Confused FLD, thought it was more broadly defined than just 2x the number of picks.

I would doubt in Land of Aus (Australia). It has very unbalanced bonuses, which are not separated by different colors. Superbonus system is just to be ignored, as it is hard to see and hardly possible to get.

Only 10 responses so far(AG, THE AWESOME OTTERYCAT, Muli, MotD, Edge, krunx, LeQuébécois_Benoit, Njord, Wakanarai, MoD) which is quite disappointing :|

I'll close the poll in 48 hours.

Sorry about my submission :P

I didn't read your explanation carefully enough! lol

Did mine not go through? I definitely submitted one!

Make sure you pick the "None" option after you have chosen all the templates you wish to remove. This will "submit" your vote.

Yeah that almost got me as well

My guess: There are MDL players who are okay with having what's being provided to them, because they have a confidence in the way things are arranged (on the MDL) and because they feel they lack a sort of a critical understanding of the templates that'd let them suggest some changes.

I'm one of them. And it's a fair guess to think that there may be other players who share these thoughts.

The point: Don't get disappointed. Having 10 responses doesn't imply that noone cares about making improvements in the MDL.

So, how's it going?

The guys are talking among each other. I'll report back once they finish :p

You not used to guys tacking to each other? Oh yeah, those whom you master, dont talk :P

Reading just now, but I put myself in the Ƨillynamenace category.

REALLY apreciating your work, enjoyng the ladder a lot, but feeling to puny to even think about modifications. :-)

Thank you to everyone who weighed in with their suggestions. A template panel of 8 players has discussed all of the suggestions and decided to make the following changes.

For detailed comments from the panel, see - https://goo.gl/uwv6js

Here is my opinion on Phobia and EA&O:

Phobia is played as SR in CL. EA&O is played with SR in rt-ladder. I know some do prefer WR, but in general it is a very bad idea to have such changes in the template, as not all will notify them. I would prefer to remove these templates and add in new ones.

Please don't ruin blacksea with super bonuses :( It's fine as it is imo
