Remove Info from Maps - Legend Only

[bedub1]

What do you guys think about removing all the descriptive info that isn't necessary once you know the map and just including the legend? I was thinking about a Redesign of the "Game Finder" page...there is a topic in the Suggestions forum....what do you guys think of something like this? It would give you more room for the map and yet still allow you to put even more info about the map.

like the idea, but why would it need removing from the classic map?
as there is no text on the classic map (apart from bonuses)

The classic map only has a lengend. Some of the newer maps have the right 1/3rd or 1/4th for explanation and description....

it is usually needed, otherwise people just starting to play the game will not know how to do it

Well for starters we would baby step into it. First we would create descriptions etc for all the current maps. Maps made in the future the map maker could design it with the knowledge of the additional "room". If map makers want to remove the info from their current map, or remake it, the choice is theirs. I only offer more options, not to limit what is currently being done.

1stly, the information has to be on the map anyway at the start, so whats the point in having extra terits or something there? it would be a different map

2ndly - some of the map makers are no longer on CC.

3rdly, it sometimes adds to the theme of the map

4thly - it could be done if the infor was at the side of the game in text format not in image format, but i think thats been suggested and rejected before (not sure though)
