Democracy. It was voted out. A growing number of players do not like to play team games of Arabia. Even pro players like Hera spoke out about this map.

Hera Arabia: Teamgames On This Map Just Aren't Fun Anymore

[Teamgames On This Map Just Aren't Fun Anymore | AoE2] Hera made a video that Arabia isn’t fun anymore. He says the strategies on the map are stale, it’s either scout rush or archer rush and nothing else. He says he has no solutions to the map but I have a few ideas. Make palisade wall and houses (house walling is much weaker now) stronger, undo the nerf that the walls received. Make walls cheaper. Generate more cliffs on the map for a more choke pointy experience. Increase the bul…

Well, you’ve got Runestones which is essentially Arabia with just another name

But when and where did the voting happen? I didn’t saw it.

PS. Nice map pool.

The devs ruined Arabia (the most played map ever in aoe2) because it was too hard for them to imagine more games modes than 1x1, while the current arabia is all pro players and casters asked for, an open map with slim woodlines, for team games it was the worst mistake ever as the current meta is way too aggressive and there is no way to play defensive without killing your own team, add to that the power creep of archer civs with sick bonuses and you have got the perfect recipe for the current disaster, arabia was my beloved map but now all i hope to get is arena or lombardia, a map where your random low elo partners you get in the MM do not die at min 11 because early 2x1.

I still like arabia now. There is a power battle with co-operation. Army size is a bigger factor than eco in TG, because flank player must receive dubble attack from enemy. So I think staying for counter is better than raiding early. We need to judge when to attack in order not to lose our army.
