Conquer Club

Nobody told me to come here, I just stumbled upon this thread thanks to the new tournament. I've voted for a medium map, and would have voted fantasy anyway on the previous poll.

Regarding the competition, does the Drafting Room also include the Melting Pot and Recycling Box or is it strictly the DR? Cheers.

Medium maps are barely in the lead this is a close one

I prefer a medium map because I think it creates better gameplay types. Also I think that a large map would be more complex to make for our community.

I voted for a large map but wouldn't mind a medium map either. I play many 1vs1 games, and if a map is too small it usually has a bigger luck factor.

All of the small map guys, re-vote for medium. Small is obviously not going to win. Every vote counts now. Medium can go ahead by a lot if you all change your vote. Please do, the future of this map depends on it.

I voted for a medium map because with the random option. A large is not good for the 1 vs 1

Lol, I saw this coming miles away.

MAKE IT BIG

iamkoolerthanu told me to come here in his original message. I voted for a medium map becasue small maps are too much of a lucky drop game and although I like large maps, I am in a medium mood. For the record I would have voted fantasy also.

I would fancy a medium map, I think they involve way more strategy and are generally more fun to play then large maps or small maps!

I agree, guys vote for medium!

Half way through the voting and medium has a 20 vote lead. come on large map guys, remember, larger the map, the more fun can be had when we get to the game play section. Each vote changes the following votes.

All maps are in the drafting room, main foundry and beta maps. None are in the bins or ideas yet.

It is a hard one this week but others have got it. Look at the clues and the opening posts of the maps. That alone will give you 3 easy ones. Up to you to find the forth.

This is what I am wondering, medium maps can go to 65 regions, but also as small as 36 regions. So why is everyone thinking that the large map will be 99 regions? It could easily be only 66. The large map gives us more options to play with, more game play features to that can be added. So many benefits to a large map, I am staggered that anyone would vote medium.

I personally like making it large because of potential for the future. An epic 12-player game on a fantasy-themed map would be awesome! We already have a couple of LOTR-similar maps like Dawn of Ages and Midgard, but I'm thinking catapults, battering rams, castle walls, armies of orcs and trolls and war elephants . . . hey, a guy can dream. =)

Thanks. I can't find Map 2 anywhere! Starting to think it may have been on an older version of a map or something.

Edit: I think I've got it.

why aren't you awarding a GA this week to everyone who has the good answers koontz? I'm not sure there will be that many right?

I will award the medal at the end of the week, like I did in the dispatch. This way you can all .

A few correct ones so far, but it is only Thursday here in sunny Hungary so a couple more days to go.

no I mean that apparently you will make a draw with random.org among correct answers instead of awarding to all correct answers this week, unlike previous competitions (at least the previous 3 or 4)

I understand now, yep, random draw this week. The last few in the dispatch where to get you all hooked. Now that I have you, I will make you do despicable things to get a medal.

I voted for a medium map. While I enjoy maps of all sizes, large maps tend to be frustrating when playing games of 2-3 players. I was in a game on Eurasia for 5 months! We were essentially in a stalemate for 3 of those months which eliminates the need for real strategy.

So while I enjoy large maps for games with more players, I think a new fantasy medium map is what is needed!

Wait till we get 12 player games. A mid sized map cannot be played then.

I don't know about others, but I don't like lotteries! :p

what about a space map, that would be cool for the young players, galaxy map
