This map is terrible to play. There should be much less distance between the two main lands to make the game shorter. And less risks to lose transport ships.
What do you think ?
i’ve only played one game on it so far so i don’t have a solid opinion, but i think it’s very unique and interesting.
I haven’t lost on ranked on this yet haha. I like it! I usually go Fast Feudal Galleys unless I have one of those situations where I’m on an island with multiple enemies then you just have to rat it out.
I think the potential is good but the map should be reworked a bit to make it more convenient to play :
- More connections between small islands
- Large islands closer
I played this map about 5 or 6 times in rank and the result is always the same : the natural strategy players adopt is coast control to kill transport ships.
When both teams are fed up to lose their transport ships, they stay on their island and wait.
Then the games become so long that the more patient is winning.
It shouldn’t be like that in rank. Ranked must be dynamic.
I imagine something which looks more like that :
Less water and more land with resources among the water and desert deeper in the map. To force combat and finish games faster.
Maybe few small lakes.
In conclusion, the map currently shows the Nile Delta in a highly zoomed-in view. Simply zooming out and changing the scale would reduce the apparent gaps between the banks of the Nile and its various branches.
