Bring back the original AoM mapset

Age of Mythology: Retold Discussion

–The original maps each required a different playstyle.
–Certain maps benefited a rush or boom… this lead to risk and reward.
–Some maps benefited certain civs, others benefited certain civ powers.
–The resources were distributed very differently on each map, required players to think.
–These unique maps also made scouting a big part of the game. The current mapset, any direction you go, you will run into food.

The ESO mapset expected more from players and helped determine the actual best player in ranked.

The current mapset is terrible, didn’t you guys think this through. All the maps are very similar but just with a different skin… the game will get boring very quickly.

Blue Lagoon, Elysium, Giza and Nile Shallows are all very similar maps; the same playstyle can be used for all these maps… now compare these maps to Tundra, Ghost Lake, Midguard and Med…

The dev should not listen to the newbie community, they will learn how to play over time.

We could definitely use some more maps in the pool. Tundra, Ghost Lake, Gold Rush, Land Unknown would spicen it up a bit.

I can assure you that the current maps in Retold are correctly determining the best players in Ranked, even if some are bit lackluster. The maps in the original game had a lot more RNG, which caused serious imbalance.

Although I prefer maps like Blue Lagoon, Elysium, Giza and Nile Shallows, I must admit you have a good point.

Those maps are all fun and that is what matters. Playing maps that are less fun for the sake of diversity is a bad thing.

I will never say anything to more maps except ‘YES’.

It’s usually not the “newbie community” that is asking for more symetrical maps with less RNG.
