Re: Unpopular Multiplayer Maps
North Bridge has not been in any official releases as we don't accept maps with copied areas.
EDIT: I think you're thinking of "Hard Mountain" which had large copied areas but was also never included.
I've fixed it so the full installer does remove any files that have been deleted since previous installations, previously only the "update" installer did but it seems that a lot of people update using the full installer so I changed it. We won't completely override the maps folder because that would delete people's own maps if they have made any.
I mostly agree with The Dark Lord's list.
Any maps in the top 20 or so are very unlikely to be deleted because people obviously like playing them if they have been played hundreds of times. This includes The Citadel, Battle Sun and obviously Across the Desert. Also, I don't think we'll be removing any original KaM maps like Battle for Coal because they're classics and the terrain quality is still excellent.

Bad Mountains: Unbalanced, who want's to play 5 vs 3 anyway?
Hmm... I see the most maps "for delate" were made by Janosiczek and Paker. I think they both should work harder, because the most of their maps are ugly and really unbalanced.
I saw also next his map, which shouldn't be in Remake. I don't remember name, but I remember that there are 2 storehouses for everyone and one position is in center.

@ChrisEggII: I think 'he' should work harder, because Janosiczek and Paker are one and the same person... Yeah I know.

Me! I played in "1000 corpses" and that was really interesting game, because those 3 players won .Bad Mountains: Unbalanced, who want's to play 5 vs 3 anyway?

But If the 3 players start with op locations they'll probably win. That's what I ment with unbalanced..

Re: Unpopular Multiplayer Maps
I agree most of those maps aren't fun to play. The main problem is that He (they, multiple personalities) made too much maps...most people keep trying to make one of their maps better while he has like 30 maps.I think they both should work harder, because the most of their maps are ugly and really unbalanced.
On a different note: We shouldn't judge maps because they're unique/unusual. There's nothing wrong with 3 vs 5 if it's well designed/balanced and has good terrain quality. It's nice to play something other than a classic style of map. I'm not saying 1000 Corpses is balanced or good quality, but just in general there's nothing wrong with something different even if you don't personally like to play it.
Re: Unpopular Multiplayer Maps
Allow me:
- 1000 Corpses
Unbalanced, unpopular, terrain is average
- Atoll
Is like Coastal Encounter but the terrain is pretty bad
- Bannockburn
As said before I like the historical story behind it but it is indeed very unbalanced and the map quality is extremely poor
- Battle Moon
Unpopular and uninteresting terrain
- Dream
Unbalanced
- Frozen Canyons
Mostly flat and pretty boring map
- Game of Thrones
Unbalanced, questionable map quality
- Game of Thrones II
Unbalanced, questionable map quality
- HOMA I
Unbalanced, questionable map quality
- HOMA II
Unbalanced, questionable map quality
- Kaderto
Has had its' best time; unbalanced and unpopular
- L-O-S-T Survival
Unpopular, unbalanced, map
- Open World
Needs to be fixed, one player has 50 flour while all others only have 10. That's what you get if you're used to giving every player a different starting amount of resources
- Roads
Unbalanced, unpopular
- The Kingdoms
Unpopular, unbalanced...
- The King's Favourite
Unpopular, unbalanced, poor map quality
- Time To Die I - Swamp
Pretty unpopular, ugly terrain
- Tundra
Unbalanced and unpopular
That's all for now, my list was actually 36 maps long but I removed some of them.
- Dream- in my opinion very interesting map, and people playing it. Idea with no market here is nice also. Only space is poor.
- Bad mountains- like this map, 5 v3 sounds for me lots better than whole time 3v3 or 4v4. And with many skilled player its very interesting map.
- The Kingdoms- One of my favourite maps. 8 players, 3 teams( 2 guys team are very strong) - only some terrain should be fixed.
-Roads- agree with you, but i seen improved version and balance is better now.
- Kaderto- as i said, like unbalanced maps. But now with many news map people dont play it ;<
And i have few ideas about cooperative missions: They should be kinda improved( i mean coop using original TSK maps).
-TSK 7 isnt worth to play, when 3 players fighting just one enemy with barracks who recruiting troops slow. Increasing speed, which AI trainning his troops( maybe every 20-25 sec?) and added possibility to second AI to make some troops( but with average speed) will make it better.
-TSK 8, TSK 20 - here also increasing training speed AI will be nice. Still didnt play TSK 12, but probably AI also train army too slow.
