i really dislike the moonsoon jungle patches plopped down.the are much to big imho and should be in little 3x3 or 4x4 arrangements more...and i dont like the 1 tile peices of jungle on some maps,that are everywhere...

I linked also to another site having maps. I think, I can post more links there. It will be then a place helping to find more maps.

Why don't CMNs post the maps of finished games here? I have to say in my experience PBEM maps are better than the maps included in this collection. Eg many of those here are unusable for a single player game because it already has terraformation on it etc.

Huh, that would be a whole lot if I posted them all there, much more for Darsnan and Googlie and even more for Tau Ceti (if anyone ever asks him)!

Right now I just can't post any them because all those games are still running, but G and D should have a bunch of finished ones.

That is true, some maps have terraforming, though I do not ask authors to modify them.
There are 4 authors so far:
Darsnan, GeoModder, Mampfred and me.
I think some of the maps come from multiplayer pbem, challenges or scenarios. And often CMN's maps are designed for multiplater, so there are possibly regions more attractive, coz designed for AI.

I would rather not force authors to follow some requirements, but they should judge themselves if a particular map is good for singleplayer.

The name of the collection could be changed to:
SMACX Map Collection

Just having another idea. I can clasify them into categories:

1) Singleplayer
relatively even distribution of bonus regions, good starting locations.
"natural look"

2) Engineered
maps, that look artificial, like engineered planet by some high-tech race in order to fit the designers liking.

3) Terraformed
maps having terraformation on them, like roads, mag tubes, farms or condensors. Monoliths or alien boreholes not included in this class.

-------------
That would be for a player then, if he/she wants to use a given map from any of these categories for a sp game.
And I could reserve the right to decide where a submitted map belongs.

I still have a lot of maps, that are on my comp, but I have not described them yet.
Good idea as for using old pbem maps. Always good quality there.

Maniac, after your remark, I decided to do a contest, that would specifically address singleplayer games:
