That is your opinion about your map?
Seems the rest of the public do not agree with you considering you got over half the vote.

When you consider Eurasia had about 6 more months of play, Kings court 2, still in beta did bloody well to get the one win and the 4 second places. This was the one map that took Eurasia to the wire in a lot of the categories. Given more time, it may of won some more as well. It was also the only map in beta that took anything.

I think having the full percentages will show us a lot more.

The one thing that I will take away from this is that players want to have a root of standard game play, but are more focused on having something different. Just look at the top 3 in gameplay, none have a standard gameplay and Eurasia only placed forth.
koontz1973 wrote:That is the thing that I keep hearing. Players are happy when new maps come out but unless it really is something special, it will get overlooked quickly. Out of last years maps, I very much doubt more than 3 or 4 will become classic maps for play. The rest are more than likely to be played, but no more or less than the rest of the maps.
Eurasia will probably take over World 2.1s spot as a great 8 player map and this is something we are missing a lot of. Large maps that allow for great standard 8 player games. I would not mind if a few more like this one where made.
