You don't see those high ranked players playing any simple map settings where it would be even ground.

It's that you need to look for it.
When you play a map, you expect all the informations you need to be available on the map legend. And it's the case for the vast majority of the maps.
It's secret in that way, I can imagine many players do not check the forum topic of the map creation when playing a new map, and I don't think we can blame them for that. I think they shouldn't have to.

Same for fixed neutrals. I didn't know for example that Rail Africa always has a neutral in the O and E lines. I had noticed the pattern, but didn't realise until someone told me.

It is a failing and really Mad777's fairly outdated links aren't as helpful as they could be either.
CC is not doing enough in this regard and I applaud t4mcr53s2, for asking the question, they know what is up.

yeah it is not perfect but again i have found couple of interesting thing going through it.
Of course it would be nice to have everything written on the map itself but for some
map it look pretty impossible to add that much text, for PC user perhaps adding bubble of hint while you use the map inspect however it would not work in mobile device such as tablet or smart phone.
