Bigger Maps

[balderr]

You know, sometimes you play a huge map with 8 players its just too small. I think there should be bigger than huge maps, or huge maps just should be bigger. Someone to agree?

[Lopdo]

there is already topic about this... I will make bigger maps, how big exactly do you want them?

It would be good if new bigger maps will be x2 bigger times than XL maps. So you can play for hours. xD

[Norman Bates]

I think hours might be a bit overboard... probably something 1.5x larger then XL and that's it.

1.5x larger or 1.5x the size? There's a big difference.

1.5x larger or 1.5x the size? There's a big difference.

What's the difference? I would like epicly large maps too. 2 to 4 times the largest. Sure, not everyone will want to play them, but there are enough of us that do. I also think in promoting larger maps Lopdo, that you will be promoting the need for users to purchase at minimal your 10X extra man bonuses to compete well in them, hence supporting the dev . Of course if users don't want to pay, they are better off not playing those maps, and that is their choice.

1.5 times larger means 150% larger, and therefore 2.5 times the size.

[techgump]

Can you apply your thinking to the statement: "I would like the map .5x smaller".
Or
"I would like the map 2x larger.", the same statement as "I would like twice as much", the same statement as "I would like 200% of what I have".

I think now you understand, your math is fuzzy, or at minimal, the relationship you have formed with the words "size" and "larger". Larger is a function of size.

[Ratburntro44]

Not necessarily. The problem is that larger can refer either one, making it much better to simply refer to 2x the size.

Also, 0.5x smaller would be 0.5x the size.

2x larger would be 3x the size.

[Norman Bates]

Let's say small maps are 25% of XL, medium maps are 50% of XL, and large maps are 75% of XL. If XL is 100%, I meant that 1.5x larger would mean 150% of XL, which means a medium map would be shoved on to the XL. Anything larger and not enough players would want to join that game.
