Not if we are presenting them with an overall better experience. And if the presence of that map brings about a lesser experience for X+1 players, then we also have a net loss. Well, most of the maps would return, or I die. So...

No, everyone else. We'll have 100+ maps of extremely variable quality because why not. Folks need to look into the sunk cost fallacy.

I'm done pushing for it. Do what you will.

The concern is also to put the best possible face forward with each release, not to maintain legacy stuff just for bulk content, if you know what I mean. To improve the average quality of the game and keep it high.

Would people be more opening to cutting back the number of maps for Release 28 if I strongly emphasize that this would be a temporary thing? Because then each release after that would include more of the excluded maps back in, this time much improved and held up to a common standard.

Stan has allowed me to post content on Instagram and Facebook, and I think I've gotten a lot of traction. People are hyped. I've also seen your comments on those posts.

I think we don't need it to be perfect, just more effective than what we currently do. So, if the development team can at least give a tentative "release date" for R28 about 1-2 months ahead of time, we can start scheduling the marketing releases. What that would entail is allowing the release to be "delayed" for a couple weeks while the marketing materials are dripped out to the masses on their pre-defined schedule.

I think we can plan out something comprehensive for Release 28.

Thank you ChatGPT lol

I'd use the small bushes then. Also, at that angle of slope, I doubt you'd see grasses like that. One thing I encourage you to do from a map design standpoint, is to think about playability and how maps should look from a video game's point of view. So, the super steep mountain sides from reality aren't so good for an RTS game. Think about using "cliffs" as map features instead of mountains, and to add dimensionality, try some nice rolling hills.

I was thinking the "Treasury" building would have these architectural motifs^ Yeah, this:

I had the same thought. A way to gauge your skills against others (if you choose to), but not in a PvP setting.

Good idea to turn this into an official Challenge map. Perhaps there can be "rounds" in this one. Round 1, 50 pop in 10 minutes (the exact numbers can be determined by better players). Pass that, go to round 2, etc.

Yeah, we gotta get these guys in at some point. May I suggest the Temple to Aphrodite / Qasr al-Bint as the wonder? Special Buildings can be a Theater and a Treasury (resource trickle). Houses in Village Phase are Bedouin Tents, and standard Houses are unlocked in Town Phase. Farms Fields and "Farmsteads" can be combined into one building called the Walled Garden. Civ can have a bonus in stone mining. Thoughts?
