maybe having it on map of the week will spotlight it for the plagiarism it is? idk lol

I'm voting for Black Sea Region and East Mediterranean. I prefer it to Tale of Four Cities. Tale of Four Cities is way too big and the super-bonuses create a snowball effect, whereas Black Sea is in the 200-400 territory sweet spot for all kinds of game modes and the lack of super-bonuses keeps you on your toes.

The only other map I would consider voting for is Star Wars but honestly Black Sea takes the take in my opinion. Also 1416 is a great guy if you get to know him, simply misunderstood. He got dogpiled for taking inspiration from a map that didn't play well for medium-sized games, improved the game play, and honed it in on a region that is neglected as far as WarLight maps go.

Oh my Fizzer, who nominated the Squiggles map? Well, atleast we can get rid of it already, so it won't bother us in future Map of the Weeks.

Please, for the love of God, don't vote for Squiggles.

Please don't. It's a completely unoriginal mirror image of https://www.warlight.net/Map/16045-Tale-Four-Cities. He doesn't deserve any sort of recognition for it.

guys, it's Map of the Week, noone really cares about it. might as well vote for the "squiggle" map just to get it off the picks permanently, as that's how MOTW works.

Furthermore, it's a pretty transformative map if you're not playing only custom scenarios on the four cities map. It picked out only a part of it, which totally tweaks the gameplay of the map.

Edit: more clear voting on "morals" and on "mapmakers" rather than the map itself.

"Fuck 1416

Voting for Star Wars because Clint doesn't want people voting for his."

Yeah, let's get Squiggles' map to #1 so we won't see it again.

If a map is 3rd to 5th it can never be nominated again either, fyi

We'll run out of maps and old ones will be recycled, I presume. Better just all vote for Anonym's map.

1416's map is in many ways superior to Tale of Four Cities to be fully honest.

Plagiarism aside, 1416's map is entirely too large for a 4 person FFA. Even if it does play decently, it needs different settings. It is a terrible fit for MotW.

Fuck 1416

Voting for Star Wars because Clint doesn't want people voting for his.

(in all seriousness I think 250-400 territories is the ideal size for a 4 player FFA.)

Love it how much interest this week receives only because Squiggles' map is on it. Also funny how people who state they vote for it, get downvoted. I personally don't find it okay. It's olkay if you downvote Tabby's racism or some Nazis on the forum, but MotW is just an innocent competition.

It also gets off the list if it lands on the 3rd, 4th or 5th place. So for Fizzer's sake, dont vote for it, please.

Ya, but I'm sure there have been very beautiful, colossal maps that wouldn't fit under MOTW settings that have been voted in (zxctycxz's maps?)

And those maps were not given their due.

Not every map works with the settings employed by Map of the Week. In fact, many maps suffer greatly. This does not make them bad maps, but it does make them bad auto-games.

I personally believe that being a bad auto-game is reason enough to deny a map MotW honors. I recognize that others may not share this opinion. I do not know who is right, because I do not know the true intent behind this honor.

Who actually plays the map of the week game?

I play it now and then when I do play. Half the time the maps are just awful for 4 person FFA though. That's kind of a flaw with the format though, you can't really just vote for the best map, they have to also be good for 4 person FFA if you want to play them on the template which is kinda disingenuous to the whole thing.

In terms of play-ability I prefer maps that are in the 150-250 territory range.

I'm not alone, btw. I notice that maps that win the voting that meet this criteria get played far more than the others during the week.

Ergo, I'm voting for the Star Wars Galaxy map this time and looking forward to clobbering you guys! ;)

pretty much all of zxctycxz's maps have become map of the weeks at some point

^ And well deserved, too, regardless of whether or not they fit the template.

I'd argue that they deserve a better honor.

I wouldn't want someone to form a bad opinion of a map because they conflated the map itself with the real issue, the settings.

We could vote for settings.
