.... i get it that everyone has his preferences and stuff but calling setons boring to then ask for flat terrainless blank maps for creative moves ..... .... ... but whatever

personaly i take such maps like craftius maximus(?) that while not easy provide a number of ways to combat the enemy ..

It's simple.
Because many people don't like the same thing as you,
and your opinion on how this entertainment should be consumed is not the one true thought to follow.

*sniff* *sniff* why have you brought your saltiness here. begone

but i am just bringing a new opinion to a game i have fallen in love with despite its shortcomings and only hope to improve it!

I would assume a flat map would be played completely differently than either Gap or Setons, both maps try and funnel land units in a single area, which simplifies defending massively.

A flat map (with spread out mass points), would make firebases/turtling useless, which would bring out interesting strategies not seen in the same old gap and setons.

here is a question: why did "GAP" (a map whose purpose is to prevent the exact type of gameplay that a flat map would bring(or a flat map would prevent)) even become a commonly played map?

in all honesty while most setons players play in unoriginal manners, this does not mean the map itself is responsible for this. it's actually a map that encourages multiple and novel strategies. setons pros have a tendency to be beaten by non-setons players who play out-of the box strategies for this map.

but I get that at a lower level of play this is really rare/never happens.

don't despair though, if you host other maps be sure that there will always be those who are curious and will join. I'm guilty of liking setons but I love trying out new maps too!

Air is your best friend if you are looking for ways to bypass enemies. You can get the map "Flat" from the vault. It is just a flat map with nothing on it but a mass point.
