I think by "hex maps" he means the "Hexagon War" series (small, medium, big), am I correct?

I don't agree that we need a rating system for the maps. It simply won't work, the way you think it would - ratings could be misleading and people who haven't played a certain map should not be allowed to rate it.

Much more elegant solution to the "many maps" problem would be an option to add maps to your favorites (someone already suggested that) and have them in a separate category "Favorites".
Then, if it would be possible to see how many players have added a specific map to their favorites, that would give much more accurate info of how good and often played the map is, than a rating system.

No, a Hex map simply means that the map is composed out of hexagons.

Skunk, people don't like your maps because of the HUGE gaps between the territories you draw, and because of the ratings you just make up. For example, your Silly Islands map is rated 6 by you, but in my opinion it's barely playable, so I would rate it 2. And rating 9 for the Solar system map just because it's so large doesn't make sense either. I think if you put more attention to quality rather then quantity, your maps could get a lot better!

Moros i dont make the ratings up, it goes by the amount of positive and negitive feedback i get, For examle with the solar system i got about 40 different feedbcks, about 36 of them where postive yay this is a good map stuff. I have to do this to show ome kind of player feedback to other people. I think to improve warlight there needs to be a comments section for maps, so instead of feedback going though email eveyone willl be able to see it. P.S the massive gaps are only in my first few maps but in th emore reasent ones there are less gaps. Silly Isle was my first ever map so is ver y small, i have only had 6 feedback for silly isle and 4 were positive so 6/10 is good acurate rating.

guys, guys, guys. Just stfu about "this person's maps suck" and crap. This isn't the place for that. If you wanna talk about how much you hate someone's maps, go ahead, but do it somewhere else. This thread was made for a reason, for adult discussion. If you're not going to participate in that the GTFO.

p.s. We should have a "children" category in the forums along side the others. Threads about hating on peoples' creations and "blacklist this person" and "this guy cheats" and "I shouldn't have been banned" could all go there and we could all ignore them.

There is nothing wrong with my places, the rating system is based of the amount of positive and negitive comments i get. There are no gaps in moderen maps. You will find gaps on all maps by everone if you zoom in so much.

I am getting ri9d of my rating system but Fizzer better get a favorite section or somthing. But i still stand by my gaps statment, in my moderen maps there are no gaps. On every map you get gaps if you zoom in alot. Ok? Good know stop moaning and use this forum for what its for. I would like to see some of you make a desent map.

But the thing is, you can find gaps on your maps even from the starting view! Take a look at Africa from your "realistic" earth. Gaps EVERYWHERE! Overlapping territories, bonuses that don't make any sense, it's all there! If I drew like you I could make one each month too! And why is it called "realistic"? How is this in any way more realistic than any other map? You just added a few countries and islands and uglified the rest! How is it in any way realistic to conquer Russia in the same amount of time as it takes to conquer Estonia?
And your argument that you need to zoom in to see gaps doesn't make any sense! It may be true for some bonus borders, but on the same bonus, every sophisticated map on Warlight doesn't have any gaps visible even when you zoom in to the max! Take a look at the large Earth map. Do you see any gaps between two territories of the same bonus? I don't!
Here I compare your Africa with Fizzer's:

Do you see the difference? I do! Please, see the light, put quality above quantity!

And I agree this forum should be used for something different than arguing, so I've just invited you to a test game so we can discuss there. So you can see a "desent" map.

I, for one, enjoy playing on an impressionist version of Africa than a realist version.

Also, I am pretty excited that you made a made that incorporates the stretch reflex!
