A little bit of feedback.
Dry Socotra and Colosseum seem quite similar in style to me. Dry Socotra a bit more wallable though. I myself am not the biggest fan of a map that almost always won't get into lategame. I also feel like there are just no real strategy options on Colosseum.
I know that the theme of BoA is very aggressive teamgames but I feel the other maps also provide that but also offer some kind of different approaches.


Other than that, no real complains :smile:

Dry Socotra and Colosseum have, historically, played very differently to each other. Colosseum is basically a very pure test of the cavalry-archer meta, and having a map like that seems fine. (Dry) Socotra is much more wallable and close together, so has often seen some very clowny plays. I don't think they're particularly similar in style at all.

Also the civ draft can often force teams to adapt away from the most obvious meta on certain maps, especially in the latter stages of the tournament, which will have a bigger impact on a map like Dry Socotra.

You're right with Dry Socotra. Looked up one game from the last BoA.
I guess I don't like Colosseum that much ^^
I thought that was the most boring map in ROTC.

It’s not strategically interesting, but isn’t intended to be. It’s a pure mechanics map which has its place. Having 1 map in that style is good, more would be really boring.
The crucial thing is that every map has a clear identity and a good reason to pick it - there is no value in having 2 of the same map. The only thing really missing is a water map to cover all the different core styles but Africa is just one large desert right?

the return of no water donut makes me sad

for me the highlight of BOA1 was the amazing and funny donut games, which the water played a key part in

who doesn't love seeing longboats vs battle eles?

I think I personally would add a bit more gold on Donut, the situation there looks similar to Colosseum ( old) . U lose access to 1 chunk and ur fook pretty much

I'm glad they removed it. Ships just aren't balanced to fight vs land units, they're just too strong. We saw it in MSC, where they got heavily nerfed, but still were very strong.

On the MSC maps where the mobility isnt an issue i 100% agree, but when the unit can only move one dimensionally in a predetermined route there are more drawbacks

It's not like you can maneuver around the ships though, especially with a few walls, towers or castles. Only advantage is that siege can kinda counter the ships which have to be bunched up, but still not something I'd like to watch.

Just watching Memb's stream and going through the maps. Not keen on Dry Socotra - hardly any gold, no estone. Will either be over in 15 mins or be skirm/pike wars, surely?

100% agree, that map was a million times better back then. Keep in mind one can still just cut around the ships in worst case. Also there were some very nice badabooms.

Quick look across these maps bring back so many great memories from Boa1+2. Mega hyped for the third edition! (Boa1 probably the best tournament ever for me in terms of enjoyment)

NotSocotra, now Dry Socotra, provided some of the most exciting games of both BoA 1 and BoA 2.

Relax and enjoy guys, it's almost as if Memb and Chrazini know what they're doing.
