Hey everyone! What maps would you all recommend for 4 players? Typically my friends and I play FFA but we'll also sometimes do a 2 vs. 2. However, we've discovered that spawn locations almost always favor one person over the rest so we're trying to keep that spawn factor to a minimum and looking more for skill-based maps. However, I am open to putting a regular map not optimized for 4 players into a custom scenario although I don't really have any experience doing that. But in the end, are there any good, optimized maps for 4 players that can be used?

Thanks in advance,
Frostweaver

Dude, this map ROCKS. 5/5. Thanks for creating this map. I can't understand why people think you only spat out a nonsense map to earn the title of WarLight biggest maps creator.

This map adds a huge amount of strategic value to lottery games and this is just what the 'lottery community' was looking for.

After clicking the troll, here are two maps for 4 players

Thanks! I was a bit confused at first but realized the first map holds no strategic value whatsoever, it shouldn't even be good enough for a lotto map haha! And I've liked both the latter maps you linked :D

Try this one too.

What about using manual picks? ;)

Look for maps with special distribution modes that have separated distribution areas for the teams e.g.:

Rise of Rome w/ less picks

If you plan on 2v2, Rise of Rome with auto dist. Both 3x7 and 4x5 work well.

Yes, a substantial portion of games (in my experience about 15%) are not competitive because of the auto-distribution of spawns. But most games, even with somewhat unbalanced spawns, are competitive.

There are benefits to auto-dist. First it obviates the need for the players to coordinate their picks. Second, it prevents your game from being "ruined" because your teammate made bonehead picks. And third, it promotes longer games, as it reduces early losses because one set of picks trumps another set.
