Addons ratings discussion

...
Maps on Rockies score more than maps on other tilesets
...

I think it's because most *low* oil players like hilly, non "flat" terrain, and I've noticed that it's really easy to get flat maps on Arizona, but on Rocky Mountain.. it's different.

(imho, I think the rocky mountain tileset looks better than the rest of them

There have been a lot of mappers and modders waiting to see their work on http://addons.wz2100.net/ or http://addons.wz2100.net/master. Please be advised your wait is now over.

Thanks to the additional reviewers we've aquired (Berg, Olson, Perseus, tmp501), and the return of Merowingg and myself there are currently no submissions waiting to be reiveiwed.

You can quickly check if you have any unapproved submissions by visiting the Submit page. From their click on any submission that was not approved then delete "submit" from the address bar of your web browser and hit "go/enter." From there you'll be able to see our reviews/ratings. The reviews should state what needs to be changed in order to move it to the approved list. If the comments are not clear then please either request a clarification here, contact an active Helper or find us in any of the official IRC channels.

Just a reminder:

If you are uploading a map, it must be named: #c-[mapname].wz, where # is the number of players.
[mapname] may not contain any spaces or exceed 35 characters in length.

• Do not create maps that have the same name.
• Do not convert 8 or 4 player maps to 7/6/5/3 players and leave the name the same!
• All maps should have a version number in them, until the final map is done.
• All mods with maps in them should be listed under MODS, not maps!

Also, Advanced Bases (Upgraded Factories, Research Labs, Power gens, a few base defenses) are appreciated.

P.S. One of the most common reasons a map is rejected is because oil resources are unable to be captured. Please place oil resources a minimum of 5 tiles away from the edge of a map, and 2 tiles from a cliff face.

and the return of Merowingg

I think it was a return of whch some would not like to remember and even I drew back a little.

[crass]

why can't we vote on maps? some of those rated over 4 should be closer to 3

[Merowingg]

And you would be?

And don't you think some of one should be two, some of two should be three, and some of three should be four, some of four should be five.

At the same time some of fours should be three, and some of three should be two, and some of two should be one.

The same goes with halves and any other non standard ratings.

Do I sense an anger here? As some maps of four only should be three?

The rating is the matter of interpretation and following our rating system which is discussed all the time to find the best ways to improve it.

Anything in particular?
This is the right thread to post the particular things.

[Merowingg]

Someone, somewhere, sometime ago, stated serious situation of the map evaluation this is my alliteration

The question was rised if there shouldnt be separate voting for the people, and for the (I will call hem) Reviewers, as I do not know how to state it after the denomination..

Wouldn't it be a good idea? or it is already clear? that there will not be such thing?

[NoQ]

It is already clear that there will be such a thing.
If i remember correctly.

[Merowingg]

Ah ok, I am in a rush lately and I am not entirely up to date with everything
