    • Nice @AlexHerbert and I agree we do seem to fall into the trap of playing the same games. When I see your games in the lobby I will join as I like that variety. I like Wild Lake and Marmara too but yes people complain as soon as you change the map. The 'rules' box is particularly useful to introduce the map in a game. I try to explain about the gaia in Wild Lake. I think some of us a skeptical of a new map because some trolls focus their efforts on learning a map and drawing us into their honey traps. So explaining the map beforehand will hopefully reduce suspicion. 
    • This is so genuinely useful feature. Unfortunately, I think almost nobody will use it the way it was intended. Besides me, I doubt many players will have dozens of configurations saved. Most will either never use it, or they'll end up with exactly one saved setup: Mainland, Circle Placement, Temperate, 4v4, Low Res, 200 Max Pop. What's even more telling is that Feldmap was given a special feature for a specific group of players so they can Shuffle Positions, yet it is never used. (And is not because is a bad feature, but because of user error.) I think I finally understand why some developers become defensive when some of us suggest improvements. A lot of users are like customers of certain tech brands: they just complain that things are bad, but never take the time to learn how to use the tools, features and options already available to them. 0 A.D. offers an incredible amount of variety: different maps, biomes, placements, civilizations, victory conditions, strategies, and historical settings. There is a huge amount of work and detail behind it. So I want to take this opportunity to thank the developers for creating such a great game with so many possibilities. My impression is that most players have no idea how much content and variety they actually have at their fingertips.

    • Creo que eso no era exactamente lo que quería decir, pero este mapa es muy interesante para que la gente se oriente en relación con las civilizaciones representadas. Mientras tanto, estoy buscando algo para ayudar en juego,mejor que una lista, tal como está planteada actualmente.
    • I have seen pathfinder broken with cav around palisades, and chariots too
