Which multiplayer map do you like the most?
(sorry if it has been done before but couldn't find on first 3 pages)
Mine is the 2vs2 map Provence

Provence is the most fun, both sides have a good starting place IMO.

Bavaria

Alpine pass 1v1
Bavaria 2v2

Overall though the variety is border line terrible

swedish forest is a very sneaky tricky map, i love it!

Alpine Pass

I can't stand provence, the map color is horrible, and it always plays out the same way, only one side is good to use, hill sitting, etc...

Agreed but isnt that hill problem in almost every map? I cant remember that there is a map which is balanced, in every map has one team or player a quite big terrain advantage.

What if you ask me Provence is one of the most balanced maps both sides start with a large hill in their deployment, theres a hill in the middle.

The only thing that really differs is that one side gets a large forest next to their hill the other doesn't.

No, the hills are on the both other sides on a map, it turns into a weird artillery duel, finland is unbalanced, but it's at least fun, and i've seen the team with the disadvantage mostly win(because the team with the advantage overestimates it and gets too defensive and iimmobile)
bavaria is also unbalanced, but it's at least a fun map, provence is a huge valley with a hill on each side, nobody wants to go down, and you can't agree to do it together, also one side is useless, the other is the hill, it's always a rush for the high side, that's very close to the red line.

It's a tie for me between Anatolia and Cuba. I like mostly flat maps so both sides are on a level playing field. Algeria would be good too but I find units always get confused since there are so many fences and walls that seem to muck up their AI.

I'll vote for Cuba just because I love the colour and lighting in that map more than others =p

The worst map on this game is the 1on1 map algeria. Its really frustrating when your line cannot fire because one soldier has not climbed the fence yet

**Lupu** · April 13, 2009, 05:48 PM

Not to forget there is one huge hill on one side of the map.

Bravaria is a fair map, but my favourite is still Alegria because its a more realistic battlefield with lots of features like fences woods and a wheat field(I think).

Well the game engine does not work that well with the fences. It could have been a great map otherwise, but when your line refuses to fire because one soldier has problems getting over the fence...

**PrimeChaosVC** · April 14, 2009, 12:42 AM

Well I still play that map, honestly I really didn't have that much problem with the fence. But I am willing to die for aesthetics.

**RTKBarrett** · April 14, 2009, 02:02 AM

lol prime

that is a nice map, but CA have been failing at unit tracking since medieval 1... theres no fun to be had if u arent controlling ure units.

Good thread idea.

My favourite map is Algeria. On Player One's side and in the centre there is an extensive wall and fence system. I really like non mortar/rocket battles with these walls. They make great obstacles to defend/attack. Another great thing is this map has sea. There are some sizable forests on Player One's side. And Player Two isn't totally screwed; they have the high ground. It's a good divide of benefits. I unlike some do not want flat bare maps. I do not want mirrored maps either, with identical features on both sides. I like the mix.

In general about the MP maps I wish there was more sign of civilisation like walls/fences.. more buildings too.
