PTWDGII: Custom Map

[Jon Shafer]

Would you support a custom map made by Thrumble/redstar1?

Yes/No. If people want it, then we need to get the guys cracking on the map soon, so this one is official. 5 days.

[Panzer32]

Sure

Anyways, I'd like to be in on it too... even if it is just to watch.

[ThePlagueRat]

I want to be in just to watch too... of course.

[Inverse Icarus]

no. because people are morons who make stupid maps that aren't what people vote for.

Uber - give it a rest. Please.

I would rather use a completely random computer generated map.

Once generated, get a non player to review it, to ensure there are no really bad starting positions.

An interesting human made map can never give each team an equal chance. So lets not try, and just use a random one.

When did redstar get involved? I saw that Thrumble and Panzer32 vounteered first but when did redstar replace them?

[Jon Shafer]

Panzer too. They can all work together, they're just the ones who have expressed interest in helping out... no one is replacing anyone in the task.

Not that I wouldn’t trust in the craftsmanship of the named persons, but I’d prefer a random generated map, that someone checks before we start that the Monty Python team has the best place to start from.

Without joke I just like the random map's better they are somehow less predictable and if someone have an eye on the starting locations that no one will end up on a place that is significant worse than some others it would be the way I wanted it to be.

I'd rather not. It's rather discomforting when you know there's an all-knowing person out there. Besides, the Monty Python team wants all teams to have good starting positions.

Good thing you're not in the first game then.

My belief is that Morons make replies like this....

Considering all the time Togas and BFM spent making that map I think a little bit of friggin courtesy should be in order.

Now, if we think we are SOOO good at Civ3 then we should be able to win it no matter what map we have. Why did we choose deity in the first place? So that the mapmakers would give us so many advantages that it would be just as easy as an emperor game? Now, what's the point in playing deity if you play it the only way you think you can win? To me, "winning at deity" means you can win it no matter what map you have...

So, if you are pissed off about the map, deal with it, if you are pissed off that we're going to get our butts kicked in the SPDG then it's not the map's fault but our own.

I like this idea in any case they could do just some minor tweaking.
