First of all:
http://fhsw-europ.ucoz.de/forum/2-344-1

http://fhsw-europ.ucoz.de/forum/35-736-1

http://fhsw-europ.ucoz.de/forum/4-665-1

http://fhsw-europ.ucoz.de/forum/4-661-1

1. If there are only a few players you have to set small maps. If you would set a big map the few players would leave. That is why all small maps are permanently overplayed. We have never found a proper solution for that.

2. The most favourite maps chosen by the players are (number of votes):
Prokhovovka (7)
Alpenfestung (5)
Op. Rattrap (5)
Remagen (5)
Battle of the Bulge (4)
Berlin Outskirts (4)
Rheinübung (4)
Chartres (4)
Sector 318 (4)
Battle of Gela (3)
Berlin Streets (3)
Breakthrough (3)
Battle for Ortona (3)
Bombing the Reich (3)
Counterattack (3)
El Alamein (3)
In the Hell of Bocage (3)
Midway (3)
Battle of Britain (2)
Berlin 1945 (2)
Bizerte (2)
Battle of Edsons Ridge (2)
Cretan Village (2)
Kharkow winter (2)
Liberation of Caen (2)
Op. Springawakening (2)

Nearly all of those maps are tank/inf maps. This is why we mostly prefer tank/inf maps. Most favorite maps are those with tank/inf/planes (Prokhorovka, El Alamein, Breakthrough, Alpenfestung, Gela). But those are really a few and if you set them to often players will leave. Even Prokhorovka can kill the server this way.

3. Asking players ingame is a bad solution really. You mostly get inappropriate suggestions. We keep asking, but it mostly is not of any use (most suggested maps are Alpenfestung, El Alamein, Rattrap... see above). If a good map is suggested, we mostly set it. But at the end of the day it always is a small group who is deciding about the maps, also because most players remain silent (probably they just want to relax and play, not discuss).

Those issues could be discussed again.

Please discuss in this thread and not in the events thread or the server crash thread. I will delete further posts about this topic in those threads.

I agree and I think you are right, so which small maps would be defined?

A new cheat sheet would be nice since the currant one is outdated.

Guys first of all, please stop posting your opinion on this subject in 3 different threads and use this one here instead, since Marduk just opened it up for exactly this kind of discussion.

What he wanted to say is that we could use a new chart which depicts the minimum player count recommended for general map setting.
Marduk posted a list but the problem is that it is a bit outdated.

What I suggest now is simply that all admins are invited to give their opinion on MINUMUM PLAYER COUNT FOR ALL MAPS.

Please open your levels folder and go down all maps that are in it and simply write done here what your minimum player count would be. Yes, mappack maps included of course.
To keep it simple just give even numbers and try not to differentiate player numbers by 1 or 2 more players. That would make it easier in the end to collect the numbers and give a good overview.

And if you now say: "I'm not taking my free time for this fucking bullshit." Please just don't feel forced to do this now. But keep in mind that your opinion can help the admin team to distinguish suitable and non suitable maps for our player base. Also you can just use my list here and edit the player numbers. Saves tons of time.

With our FHSW mappack 1 there are currently 140 maps in your levels folder for FHSW 0.61.
Yes of course some maps are suspected to be broken, but I've included them anyway. Don't forget that the following is just my opinion.

My list:


Now I put them in order:




All Admins, please share your own lists! Players too if they want.

See, that's your opinion and exactly the reason this thread here exists. And it would be great if you could contribute your own list too!

I liked the list, many maps that are popular are from 2 to 14 players. I think it's good because the less popular maps will be played by a larger number of players.

I would only make the following modifications:

Adak_Island - 26
Berlin-1945-Outskirts - 20
Seelow-Heights-1945 - 20
Bombing_The_Reich-1945 - 30
Way_to_Paris-1946 - 30
Prokhorovka-1943 - 30
