Allow 1v1 maps (Dueling map) Poll included

[lolkittens]

Have you ever joined a 1 v 1 sequential game where the other player takes their bonus and wipes out your places before you even take your turn? Well that problem can be easily solved with my new map. It's the dueling map. You and another person can play a fair duel without worrying about who goes first. This concept is based off of Feudal Epic, Feudal War, and of course, King's Court. Also my map is awesome. So I think an exception should be made, so that people can play 1 v 1s on my map.

This can easily benefit the site. More maps = more people playing those maps = more activity and publicity = more new users = MORE PREMIUM MEMBERS!

Also here is a link to my map. I can make it better.

[40kguy]

why is this in suggestions?

[lolkittens]

Because the map foundry people say to put it here

[lolkittens]

More voters please

[lolkittens]

Yes let the opinions flow. Right now, 4 people want this map, 2 people dont, and one person doesnt care.

[TheForgivenOne]

There is no need to triple post in your own thread.

[lolkittens]

ok. So right now, 54% want 1 v 1 maps, 27% Dont want them, and 18% dont care

We can all read...

[lolkittens]

lol
Well, it was just a reference of the exact numeracal value at that current time. Correctly speaking, the similarity of opinions of voters in different time zones will likely not expose the same direct rate of change.
lol I was being smart

[lolkittens]

55% for it, 22% not for it. Also 22% dont care. ( the top 3 options are in favor of my dueling map )
So anyone else? I need this to be more of a landslide to allow it to happen. So vote for Dueling Maps Please

Oh, my bad. Forgot that you can't. Sorry lolkittens, everyone except 40k can read, so PM him what the exact numbers are.

[lolkittens]

The numbers keep changing. However, I am happy to say that the approval rate of my idea is increasing.

[PLAYER57832]

A poll here won't give much information. Truth is most people never visit the forums. And, those who do are not necessarily at all representative of the general views within the CC community at large. You might try running this by some of the clans, etc dedicated to 1 vs 1 play.

I looked at the map, but am not sure why you feel it would be a good 1 vs 1 map. Myself, I like AOR2 the best.. one you did not even mention.

Maybe you could petition Admin to allow it as a "special occasion" limited run map. That way CC is not tied to keeping a map that winds up not working, but if it works, people will see that it works and maybe open up avenues to a "full time" map of this genre.

Another issue, I am told there is a backlog of maps, in general.. several that are just waiting approval, etc.

Is powerpoint the wrong format for CC?

[lolkittens]

Yeah, like I said, outline. lol

It looks like you need to do some more homework. The problems with your map are not just that it is a 1vs 1, but other issues. Solve them and maybe it will be considered.. at least as a temporary map.

Powerpoint is inadequate for creating graphics that are acceptable by CC standards. Of course initial drafts can be made with it, but if one wants to get a map through all the way then one willl need better graphical tools.

Another issue, I am told there is a backlog of maps, in general.. several that are just waiting approval, etc.

Well, not really. It's always like this in the Foundry. For the most part, there efficiency of the Foundry has improved greatly from the times I started mapmaking. In the first forum, where initial drafts are posted, some maps have to wait longer than others - this is because the foundry mods want to ensure that the mapmakers have the capability to develop their maps up to CC standards. As for the last forum, Final Forge, maps have to wait somewhat - I suspect this is because the mods don't want to flood the players with too many beta maps at once, so that all of them can get sufficient attention and no flaws will go unnoticed.

--- and now for something completely on topic ---

As for making maps purely for certain game types - well, this is certainly something that could be considered, and this has been discussed before inside the Foundry. I can't remember right now what were the results of those discussions, or if the admins etc. had a stance on the issue... either way, allowing these kinds of "specialization" maps (maps for certain amount of players, map for only team games, maps for only assassin, etc.) could be a way of bringing more diversity to the maps, without having to implement new XML features constantly. So, in principle, I'm not against the idea.

[lolkittens]

wow thanks for tearing my map apart player. lol. I guess I give up.

[Qwert]

dueling map? what its these?
Any how, every map need to be for 8 players, and in game finder ,you decide how many player will play on map-because there you have player option.
Its best its to try to create 8 starting positions,like in mine Peloponnesian war map, these scenario will be best option for your map.

[greenoaks]

we already have plenty of duelling maps

Age of Realms 1
Age of Realms 2
Age of Realms 3
Feudal War
Feudal Epic
Pelo War
Monsters
New World
Clandemonium

and every one of them is playable by 6 or 8 players, depending on what the maximum was when they went live

Don't give up , but creativity often means working within constraints. I don't know if your particular map is worth fixing, because I am not a mapmaker. (I just know a little of the process for other reasons). However, if not this one... try again.

The idea of 1 vs 1 maps (and other specialty maps) has been tossed around. My main thinking was that it might be easier to get one of those passed as a short-term "specialty" map for some event or other. Then if it works for the short term, maybe it could be accepted more (or maybe not).
