If I was in charge of the ladder...

No more polls for a while or any other devices for slowing things down.

However feel free to let me know your feelings about the following proposal in this thread.

In general: Maps that are huge(setons), maps that are mass rich(the ditch), maps that force walking across into enemy base(balvery mountains), maps with insane civs(Sleipnir) will be difficult to get on the ladder.

Core maps in the ladder:
These will remain week to week, however maps can be added or removed from this list if the community feels like it.

Twin Rivers
Roanoke
EOTS
Open Palms
Regor VI
Theta
Vya-3
White Fire
Canis River
Syrtis Major

5 map weekly rotation:
All 5 maps will be removed and 5 different maps will be added on a weekly basis. Choice of maps will be determined by TA4Life taking suggestions from the community.

Badlands
Loki
Craftius Maximus
Flooded Tabula Rasa
Seraphim Glaciers

2 new maps:

These maps will remain week to week, to be removed or replaced by other new maps at a later date. This section is to promote map creation. Note you must prove that your map is not broken before it will be considered, etc. In general it may be difficult to get your map on here unless it has been played in custom games by many people.

Remove 5+ and I start playing ladder. 15 is still too big of a number to see the full benefits of a small ladder poll (<8 maps is common on other RTS). I know you agree and want to do it too, don't be scared

Could we have a full list of maps that could go in the ladder pool?

Also what about having a fully rotating map pool, ie changing 5 maps per week or something like that?

[IceDreamer]

Far as I'm concerned, as Player Councillor, you ARE in charge of the map pool TA Go nuts mate!

No full list will be provided, any map can be suggested but most maps will be shut down unless some really good arguments are made.

Yes there will be 5 maps changing every week...

The lack of a map like Niflheim Finall II where there are quite a number of strategies, reclaim fields, and metas makes me upset. I will always enjoy a map like Syrtis Major, but it's kind of boring to see the same rush to the middle fight every game...

5x5s are in general kind of lame, but Cobalt Valley and a few others stand out.

The maps you mentioned like cobalt and nifelheim would get into the 5 map rotation without any problems
