The maps with the most votes will probably be deleted for the next version.

I'm voting against GameOfThrones, as they don't remind me much about G.R.Martins creation, name seems quite random. Heroes of Might and Axe, Kaderto, OpenWorld, Time to Die, maps also need some more work.

Kaderto - one of the few cards that focus on quick game. Wash it to remove some if not do not. I voted for the Open World, and the King's Favourite

In my opinion, those maps should be removed:
-Kaderto
-Open World
-Heroes of Might and Axe (2 parts)
-1000 Corpses

Hey Guys map: Heroes of Might and Axe 1 is already fix. Up to now was playable due to lack of roads into the granary. I fixed this and a few other things in this map. It will definitely be a good played.

My choise were:
-Kings Favourite
-Heroes part 2( 1 isnt bad imho)
-Time to Die Swamp
-Game of Thrones

And im suprised, that Open Worls and Kaderto are here. People playing it...

In r3392 Kaderto has been played 24 times (74th most popular) and Open World 75 times (39th most popular), so they're hardly very popular. The terrain in Open World is pretty bad so that's why it made it to the list.
I agree the terrain isn't too bad, but I don't really understand the locations layout. 7 and 8 MUST be together because they are so close, and the same for 1 and 2. But then what? Location 3 is very vulnerable. The only layout I can see sort of working is 1+2+3+4 vs 5+6+7+8 but then the first team has a massive advantage because 5 and 6 are really spread away from the others... I don't think there's any balanced way to use all of the locations on the map at once, so I guess it's only good for 4 or 6 player games. (FFA wouldn't work because some locations like 3 are so vulnerable) The locations layout just seems really poorly designed.

Hmm, Yes.
I prepare this map for 6 players. And.. do something with terrain.

I voted for the eight maps I thought were the most inapproriate.

Mainly because of terrain (on some of these water is really weird), but also for gameplay, for exemple in Heroes of Might and Axe I, one player starts in the middle of a huuuge coal field, which is really a terrible thing to build a city, and quite weird to have that much coal with the few iron and gold there is around. Also the player in the middle doesn't have an easy access to coal, huge disadvantage compared to other players who have monster fields next to them. I selected the maps I voted for with reasons, I didn't take into account the personal taste :p

delete

I'd vote for all of them.
Sadly... I can only choose 8.

Same here, it was a tough decision.

"1000 Corpses" and "Open World"? NO WAI! I like those maps. I can say more: "Open World" is one from my favorite maps. Other maps can be deleted for me.

-> 1000 Corpses: not the worst map in this list. Terrain is acceptable. Keep it.

-> Frozen Canyons: the idea is visible, but the terrain is boring. Too much ice. Remove it!

-> Game of Thrones: no iron, but only little arable land + onesided. Remove it!

-> Game of Thrones 2: the same. Remove it!

-> Heroes of Might and Axe I: it's a fun map, there is nothing wrong with this idea. Sure, the water surface should be flat, but please don't only keep maps that can be played "seriously". After all, gaming shall be fun. Fun maps are part of that. Definately keep this kind of maps! But this one survives only because my list already contains 8 maps to remove. Keep it.

-> Heroes of Might and Axe II: basically the same. But more symmetrical and terrible terrain. No need to keep this when v1 stays. Remove it!

-> Kaderto: more or less the same as the Heroes-series. But more one-sided. Remove it!

-> L-O-S-T Survival: Hmmm, stone Another fun map, others are worse. Keep it.

-> Open World: Terrain is a no-go. Remove it!

-> Roads: Compared to the others, it's one of the best. Keep it.

-> The King's Favourite: finally acceptable terrain. But this is so extremely onesided, no need to offer this as a 1on1 map. Remove it!

-> Time to Die I - Swamp: another acceptable terrain. Nice to see limited resources which make the map hard. But then a linear gameplay? In a 1on1? Because of the quality of the terrain I'm tempted to keep it (especially compared to the terrible terrains of others), but the map idea is not coherent. Remove it!

-> Tundra: the only map of this list that I had played before. It's symmetrical, but not exactly fair. Still that's a chance to balance different player skills. Keep it.

By the way, why Tundra has been included here? Battle maps of a very small amount, it is impossible to get lost. So remove the battle map is not necessary.
