Random maps are too many to be in one list IMPLEMENTED
I realized that i scroll too many to select a random map so i thought we should do something sectioning it.
a) i could give little icons on the list helping the player select one, those icons should show about the map
- is there a pre-plaed TC in it (possibly a more fair map)
- is it a multipalyer campaign map (with pre-placed units too)
- is it ... some other aspects.
b) i could make new submenus before slecting a map like
root:
- small random maps (about max 400 tiles - 20x20)
- medium random maps (about 400 - 1225 tiles - 20x20 - 35x35)
- large random maps (1225 or above 35x35 or above.)
- predefined TC placement maps
- multiplayer sceanrio maps
c) maybe we could make a favories setting on each map (star), and favorites appear first in the list (or of combined with "b" it can have a separace button)
whih option you would like?
or any other idea?

Re: Random maps are too many to be in one list
b would be best for me (I put up a lot of varied multiplayer matches). Maybe make it Small /Medium/ Large/ Other to keep things simple? I don't feel a favourites list is really necessary because anyone who puts up enough games to want a favourites option probably knows exactly where to find the maps they are thinking of.
Slightly on topic, what can be done about getting even more maps? I know there is a map editor, but that is limited in size, and it's the bigger maps for epic 6 player battles I feel need more variety. Is there anyway to access a larger map editor because I would happily give my time for better fights

Re: Random maps are too many to be in one list
not sure if there is a misunderstnding: this is suggested for selecting a map TYPE to be CREATED and not "filtering"/foldering urrent running multipalyer games.
epic map: i would let a few (1-2) but i would only grant to someone MASTER in mapediting.

Re: Random maps are too many to be in one list
Err...you have confused me now...but I think we are on the same thoughts - I was thinking from the point of view of someone creating new MP games wanting to easier find the maps that would suit the game they want to make.
Ha, that rules me out then, unfortunately. But I didn't just mean HUUUUUGE maps, anything from 50x50 upward we could do with more of.Stratego (dev) wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 9:03 pm

Re: Random maps are too many to be in one list
Favouriting maps option would be awesome.
Updated:
B option is fine for me as long as it is not mandatory and will come with favouriting maps option.

Definitely B. I noticed this a while back but the new maps that have been coming lately only make this more apparent when trying to find them
Re: Random maps are too many to be in one list
Same I choose ( B.)

I think implementing option c as well would also be a good idea. So many maps to choose from now, I love it.

Re: Random maps are too many to be in one list IMPLEMENTED
Add a map category called unique, minigame, other game mode, other? Misc? For the maps like capture the flag castle fight, the last raiders, capture the fortress and the one with the middle castle and 2 separate ones with the aligators in the way i forgot the name just a suggestion since this was added recently
