There will always be players who experiment different settings-maps etc. Try same settings on different maps, but what I conclude is that majority is stuck or simply prefers same stuff over-and-over again, nothing bad about it. But just trying to understand what is the conclusion. Because the fact, what I have heard countless of times, that Rome is ONLY-SINGLE good map to play 3v3 seems absolutely false to me.


I think the variety of its bonuses (super bonuses and empires) and way to play this map (so many possible game plan at picking time) makes it that fun to play and not to be bored with quickly (or at all for some of us). And why try different settings when playing with different teammates, or against different opponents, or more importantly just try going for different bonuses that its comfort zone, or maybe favourite bonuses but with different combos or starting points in it, makes it like a new game everytime. That's why I was saying this map alone could be a separate game to me or WL could be just that it would already be very successful to some extent I think. Also playing similar settings as a "standard rule" makes it easier to find teammates and opponents which are used to those and make the game interesting. Playing this map on unusual settings gives an advantage to the creator and thus doesnt have the same taste.

Other maps, settings and game modes are just bonuses for me and lots of other players (ofc maybe i and others will think differently once we have experienced more the other features of WL - time will tell).
