- I am getting quite bored with the abundance of water maps. Out 21 maps in the map pack 15 involve water and a notable mention has to be made about ancient lake which featured in every match-up in group stage. On water maps anything other than grush will very rarely work against good teams. nC tried an interesting strat yesterday and almost took Fedex out but the fish boom was so strong for rest 3 zZ guys that nC lost badly in the end. What is the fun in watching 8 players going grush, using more or less the same build order.
- Also even though there are only 4 no TC start maps but if you look at the settings for round 2 we can potentially have 3 no TC start games out of 7. During group stages we had 2 definite no TC start maps out of 5 with a possibility of a 3rd no TC map.
- Arabia, what wrong has arabia done. To me it is still the most fun map but this map has been reduced to weird mismatch civ settings which make it so less fun to watch because one teams gets an advantage because of civs. Not to mention it is set as game 6 in most sets which considering how one sided games are will rarely be played.
- These mismatch CIV settings which involved Vikings in one set and WIC_MapPack. This practically becomes a luck game, if you get Vikings and a Water map huge advantage otherwise disadvantage.
- Not to say, No home maps which has reduced variety in fixtures to ZERO.
