oh yeah, for featured maps: showing the 10 most played maps in the last month (not counting ladder games) would be nice. that would give us an idea of what people play when they choose the map/settings of their own free volition.

I think idea of some kind of "tags" would be cool.

Just a few comments and suggestions.
New Jersey maps are good, but boring, repetitive, and small.
Skunk maps are pretty horrendous. No idea why Fizzer allows this kind of garbage.

Relating to the main post...
I don't think we can ever have enough maps. Each map is individual and great in its own ways.
---
A few features we should have...
-Rating system. This is crucial.
-A feature system that doesn't just feature the same maps. Maybe it could show the best map of the month and week.
- Tags. (Maybe.)
- A never-show-again feature, as mentioned. I don't think I'll ever play an NJ county map.

We should have more categories with subcategories

Like the category "Real World Maps", too broad.
Subcategories could be "United States", "Europe", or "Australia".
You can go even deeper with subcategories in larger subcategories.
Like "United States" can have "California", "Texas", or "New Jersey"

Also, everyone seems to be pro for a Rating system.
I''ll jump on the boat and say it is a great idea.

Sort by ratings
Sort by play count
Sort by most recent
And then the current category
featured
all
novelty
etc

Also sir nick, is that a account an alt or do you just play single player?

Whats wrong with by maps, i realease one a month of a good standered.... There is nothing wrong with them, I use the amount of postive and negitive feedbacks to make a score out of ten, maybe a player could rate a map when in previes, like the system on armour games. that would be a good idea.

I'm all for people being able to rate maps, but only in a positive way. Something along the lines of being able to give a map some kind of vote of recommendation but not being able to say that you don't like it.

The best maps would rise to the top of the tree and people who have put a lot of work into making a map won't have their efforts trampled on with negative votes.

I'd rather have no votes on my map than bad ones.

People's feelings are at stake here. People's feelings!

I think by "hex maps" he means the "Hexagon War" series (small, medium, big), am I correct?

I don't agree that we need a rating system for the maps. It simply won't work, the way you think it would - ratings could be misleading and people who haven't played a certain map should not be allowed to rate it.

Much more elegant solution to the "many maps" problem would be an option to add maps to your favorites (someone already suggested that) and have them in a separate category "Favorites".
Then, if it would be possible to see how many players have added a specific map to their favorites, that would give much more accurate info of how good and often played the map is, than a rating system.

No, a Hex map simply means that the map is composed out of hexagons.

Then still no, none of by maps are made of hexagons

Skunk, people don't like your maps because of the HUGE gaps between the territories you draw, and because of the ratings you just make up. For example, your Silly Islands map is rated 6 by you, but in my opinion it's barely playable, so I would rate it 2. And rating 9 for the Solar system map just because it's so large doesn't make sense either. I think if you put more attention to quality rather then quantity, your maps could get a lot better!

Moros i dont make the ratings up, it goes by the amount of positive and negitive feedback i get, For examle with the solar system i got about 40 different feedbcks, about 36 of them where postive yay this is a good map stuff. I have to do this to show ome kind of player feedback to other people. I think to improve warlight there needs to be a comments section for maps, so instead of feedback going though email eveyone willl be able to see it. P.S the massive gaps are only in my first few maps but in th emore reasent ones there are less gaps. Silly Isle was my first ever map so is ver y small, i have only had 6 feedback for silly isle and 4 were positive so 6/10 is good acurate rating.
