Classic 42 etc.

It would be useful for Tournament organisers in choosing maps suited to different numbers of players. And the same for Clans, to help guide maps in Challenges.

Also, I can't speak for map makers, but it may help them identify gaps in types of maps.

cheers, jim

Yes it is possible but surely more suited to a site modification?
These numbers never change and are contained in reasonably fixed .xml files so
for data that is fixed, I think the site could provide it in the game finder.
The list would always need to be updated for new maps of course.

So, yes it would be very easy to put into a script, save away the data after the first read and poll for updates...
but easier perhaps to do from the site.

All of this information is included in the XML file, it's just not displayed anywhere.

with that a box next to it or wherever that says...terr count, bonus description (inc capitals other stuff), bombardments, special features. and anything else relevent...ie a short description with age of realms..if u get me
