I am a fan of any maps LD or commanders, so long as they provide interesting strategic play. I have no opinion on vetos - I personally don't use any.

For me the only issue with commanders is that it would cut out non-members. As a member I'm completely fine with commander games only popping up against other members (who haven't vetoed it).

I think LD should be in. Turkey LD, WR or 16% WR is one that I'd like to see :-D

Though I guess it was SR when it appeared.

@Chris
I would like to see more limited full dist. I put mine in the poll sent out...
https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TemplateID=636221
Could you post some example games?


@All
I agree that MDL should have one LD template as most of the other formats are well represented(MA, no-split, extra armies, armp cap etc). However, commander/bomb card templates are not an option as they are member-only features which cut down the player base.

Not too keen on Math Wolf's suggestion to auto-veto such templates for non-members as it obviously gives members an advantage. But I'll think about.

This is the LD template I'm considering. It is something different to France and Turkey LD. It also features auto distribution, but plays out surprisingly well. Thoughts?

More games on Ancient Greece LD: https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=10980

It is indeed surprisingly good, the games are rarely decided on picks. It is a good template and is definitely worth adding to the ladder.

If Ancient Greece uses a setting as different as auto distribution, then I would recommend including another more vanilla/common LD template in addition.

This would give members actually a very big advantage


How do they get a big advantage? They still have to play and win the game, which is from a big pool of maps and settings.

I haven't played it myself, I would like the templates to keep an edge - and these kind of settings definitely give the excitement of diversity. I would be all for this one, but I think it would be nice to have an LD included that has some manual distribution as well.

A completely unrelated note: it would be nice if in the games, the date and time of creation was marked somewhere. This way I have some idea of how much I should stress about accepting a game. Since it's not marked the game might have been made an hour ago or three days ago as far as I can tell.

Say you have 5 vetoes per player and 2 member-only templates on the ladder.

Based on MW's suggestion, a non-member only gets 3 vetoes on the ladder(coz the 2 templates are auto-vetoed). On the other hand, members will get a choice of 5 vetoes which is obviously an advantage in terms of controlling what templates you play on/avoid.

You can always look at the game itself to see the creation time(you have 3 days to join). Initially, I did display the creation time on player profiles. But the page is difficult to read on smaller resolutions, and so the column was removed.

You could allow members free vetoes on any template that is member-only, rather than extra vetoes that can be used on any template.

Alternately, having 2 extra vetoes isn't exactly a huge advantage in a strategic sense and it might be nice for there to be another inducement for people to buy memberships.

That is the only LD template that I like to play and the only 1v1 Auto distribution template that I like to play so I whole heartedly support this addition.

Is it bad if I say I never noticed my map actually became a template here until Aura actually told me so today? :P #outcast

Thanks for the love <3

MDL has been running for 100 days!

To mark the occasion, we'll add 7 new templates to take the total count up to 46! I have also increased the veto limit from 5 to 7. Hope you like them.

Sorry about that. I deleted the game since it hadn't begun ;)

You should be able to veto 7 templates. Try clearing your browser cache? You can also reload resources by using ctrl+shift+refresh in your browser.

Action Summary

Ranks 1-5

1. Buns (1845): No games finished, and his rating went down by 1.

2. master of desaster (1807): 9 wins were impressive, but the 3 losses he suffered were sufficient to reduce his rating by 6.

3. Pardon99 (1756): 14 wins and only 1 loss helped Pardon jump to third from #8 and with a rating increase of 112 points.

4. Master of the Dead (1749): An uneventful week saw MotD drop only 4 points while splitting the 2 games he completed. He falls 1 rank only because of Pardon's exceptional performance.

5. PanagiotisTheGreekFreak (1717): Holding on to the 5th rank, Pana actually saw his rating increase by 12 points after a solid 5-2 performance.


Ranks 6-10

6. Timinator (1715): Completing only 1 game caused his rating to increase by 9 but his rank to drop 2 spots.

7. AWESOMEGUY (1714): A solid 3-1 record this week increased his rating by 25 points, but in spite of this fact, his ranking still fell 1 spot.

8. malakkan (1678): 10 wins out of 14 games completed helped raise his rating by 69 points and his rank by 3 places.

9. The Drunken Master MB (1649): Another 69 point increase, his 8-3 record helped him rise 5 ranks.

10. Njord (1643): With a 4-4 record, he certainly did not embarrass himself. His rating only dipped by 8 points, but his ranking dropped 3 places as others had better weeks.


Ranks 11-15

11. Yulian Provoke (1608): 7 wins in 14 total games caused his rating to drop by a mere 7 points while his ranking slipped 1 spot.

12. Beren • apex (1592): 2 losses caused his rating to drop 32 points to 1592. His ranking also slipped 3 spots.

13. smileyleg (1570): 1 win and 3 losses resulted in him falling one rank and losing 22 points on his rating.

14. LeQuébécois_Benoit (1568): Completing no games, his rating did not deviate, though he did drop 2 ranks as others sprinted past.

15. Nemo (1551): Another big mover, Nemo only won 2 games, but the resulting 33 point rating increase was enough to propel him up 6 ranks and into the top 20.


Ranks 16-20

16. Wini (1539): 8 losses and only 4 victories resulted in a decline of 49 points, the largest of any player in the top 40. However, this resulted in a drop of only 3 ranks.

17. culpa (1530): 1 win in 4 attempts resulted in a loss of 16 points, though his rank remained unchanged.

18. Black.Bishop (1528): 2 wins helped propel him into the top 20. The 29 point increase in his rating helped him rise 9 ranks overall.

19. Min34 (1527): A 2-1 record was also enough to break into the top 20, jumping 5 spots with an increase of 19 points.

20. Rento (1526): Another 9 rank jump to close out the top 20, his 3-1 record was good for a rating increase of 37 points.


Falling out of the top 20 were Cluster (2-4), TheRiverStyxie (0-3), Tjoex (1-3), and Platinum (0-3, and left the MDL).
