Greetings Conquer Clubbers and Happy New Year! The past year has been a great one for the foundry as we've had 35 new maps quenched and two revamps, Germany and, of course, Classic.

Tough choices, I'll probably have to go with the ones I've played and liked the most, but that still includes
Fractured America Central America World Cup 2010 Thyseneal Cricket Orient Express Lunar War And First Nations South America I'll probably just flip a coin for this

Napoleonic Empire, hands down.
But... It was so artistically done.

had classic been an option i would have chosen the revamped classic, still not as good as the original, nothing ever can compare to ones first love.

Wow, 2010 sure was an excellent year for the foundry. So many awesome choices like Napoleonic Europe, Dawn of Ages, Flanders 1302 and Orient Express 1883. I love them all but my vote goes for Lunar War. I love both the concept and the gameplay!

Many great ones, but I especially like Japan, Nordic Countries, Celtic Seven Nations & Flanders1302.
Who gets the vote though; No competition

Truly great work by the mapmakers!
I voted for Orient Express, and really considered Napoleonic and Japan--- all the maps were great additions

Napoleonic, I haven't even begun to plumb the strategic depths of that map, and despite being a LOT of information, it doesn't overwhelm.
