such a map could be interesting, it would depend on how it was implemented! Would this 1v1 map be designed for smallness or to make a 1v1 game fair?

Right now the only way to limit a map to two player games would be to have only two starting points, which might be boring. Again, something that can/should be addressed when the site is re-coded.

What that means is that there will be noobs and those who take advantage of noobs who will start for or six or twelve player games on such a map, so it would need to be somehow playable at a variety of game sizes. Nukes is good example of a very good 1v1 map, in my opinion, which can also be played by larger groups.

I also have doubts about this. What is the desired result? A map that's completely fair regardless of starting position?


There are several maps that are very good for 1v1 while allowing for larger games also. Nukes, like Shep said, is a prime example of that.

understand your notices...
...but, I think I can do that there will be several starting situation, so in one game players will start with 1 region, in second game with 2 regions and in third game with 3 regions. also strategy will change with different starting situation.

do you think, Shepherd that after recoding it will be possible to code which starting regions belong which player?

This is one of the many things I hope to see included in the game engine.
