weekly fan made map download?

[rigel6669]

Playing on the same maps all the time is getting a little bit fustrating after a while.

And when you download a fan made map, most of the time the other players do not have it....

I would welcome your comments and suggestions on the following:

Lets say we all download the same fan made map of minimum 4 players and we play on it during 1 week ( from monday to sunday ).

The 2nd week we choose another fan made map ...

Sounds good, but you would have to get all the people that play Emperor to agree to download x map and play on it during that week. You'd also have to catch them online as well, which might be difficult, if you take into consideration the different time zones players are in.

People may not like the maps or want to play on them once they download them as well. It would be nice if it worked out though. :)

If you change every week, all fan made maps would get their turn. We could also inform the players when we are online. I know very well that some will not agree to play on map x, it is up to the player to join the crowd or not but it is only an attempt to increase the odds of playing a new map with 4 players online.

Getting the message: x does not have the map you have selected is really frustrating.

We could also use an official mappack for 1 week.

I didn't even see someone playing a map of the mappacks

Even if people have them installed ... it's probably due to that people don't like them. I can't think of 1 of them that I do like well enough to play daily due to each of them gives unfair advantage to 1 house or another.

Lol, I had an idea for a map called :"Tribute to Emperor Battle for Dune" with the words Ya Hya Chouhada in the middle of the sands, made with infantry cover, but I thought that would be ripping off the map called: "Tribute to Dune 2000", in the Dune 2000 maps download section. So I scrapped the idea. :P :-

I just played today with 2 guys who have downloaded and installed all available 4 to 8 player fan made maps.

That sure resolves the problem of not having a map ;D

Hello,

A lot of people doesn' t know what are map packs and fan maps :O

I had all dld and install !

But i try to disseminate the existance of them directly online , before playing !

It's a little boring for some people but i think it 's the right way to inform people,

First i give the adress of fed2k and then some explainations , but they doesn't know what to do and that the biggest problem !

JUST DO PROPAGANDA !!!
