Hi, am a recent starter and have managed to lose on about 12 different maps. I haven't found one i can say is my favourite. So...this made me wonder. #-o


IS there a BEST map?
IS there an EASY map?
IS there a popular map?
What do YOU think? Do i continue to try each one unsuccessfully ](*,)
Please offer your opinion on your fave and why?

... Not really a topic for this spam fest, but since you asked....

... British Isles is fun, and easy, and getting a great revamp done to it.

... You should give Asia a try if you haven't already.

... Classic is ... no, never mind.

Yeah, sorry. Haven't sussed out the appropriate place to publish my posts.(i suppose i should read the guildlines section). Cheers for supplying an option. Yes Classic is a bit of a quandry.

... Well, Classic looked exactly like a Risk map. I don't know why it got mutated into what it is now, and even though game play remains the same, the "atmosphere" of the thing has been wiped out.

... <edit> Game related stuff usually goes in the "General Discussion" forum. But posting game related stuff here shouldn't bother anybody. Just don't post politics or religion, or spam in the General Discussion forum. That belongs here.

The easiest maps are the ones with 'classic style' gameplay. Like Asia and the USA Civil War maps.

But my favorites are the more complex and intimidating ones like WWII Ardennes.

Never play conquerman. Also, crosswords and connect 4 are not fun.

Yeah, quite enjoyed the civil war one. Thought i was doing well until i returned to find i'd been eliminated. I suppose the main problem being new is i don't know the best way to succeed or knowing what a good position is. Am quite liking Waterloo and have started World 2.1 which looks interesting.

Keep on playing and you'll figure it out yourself in time.
Also, team games can be useful to see what tactics your teammates use. You can simply ask them how they play and that'll help you. This might even get you some friends on the site, which makes the playing even more enjoyable.

Have fun,

IS there a BEST map?.. The best map is only the one you choose the be the best at.
IS there an EASY map?.. Doodle is easy cause ....just because, and Lux
IS there a popular map?.. Classic seems to be popular, but I think it sucks
What do YOU think?.. Do i continue to try each one unsuccessfully ...yes keep trying a map you like, look at why/how your opponent won, and try next time to perfect it
Please offer your opinion on your fave and why?...Age of Realms, 1, 2, 3 seem to be easy, quick, and luck, all wrapped up in 1 map

Ok, thanks for that guys. I'm not a premium player. Does this affect my right to play in team games? How do I get to play in a team game? Does anyone wanna be my partner? I would like to have a go at some of the team types of teamplay.
