    Yesterday when I was watching some SC2 matches I got hit by an idea. Why the hell KAG hasn't got one 'pr0' map pack consisting only of balanced and good maps?
    So this is my contribute and ak to the community. Let's try to make a map pack useful for every clan war or a vanilla server whose owner doesn't want to host awful generated maps all the time*.
    I'm dropping some maps from Action's dropbox and a few from forums which I think are pretty good.

    Feel free to hate these and put here your own .

    *Of course your map pool should depend on the number of slots on your server.

    Grand idea. Should specify it's for CTF (I assume).

    Thanks! I was looking for something like that.
    Most of map makers seem to like making HUGE complicated absurd maps with tons on ways to enemy base.

    PS: Don't remove the Contrary thing, it's the best part of the map!

    It's not a suggestion since he is acctually doing the idea. He should keep it up-to-date so we can have a source of balanced maps.

    I for one, love complicated maps, thank you very much.
    But a nice slightly hilly map is good every now and again.
    I think I'm gonna make a slightly hilly map then.

    If the Map-Making guys of yous can compile a couple of map collections, suited to different server styles, e.g. Small, Huge, CTF, Rapid, Creative, Esoteric, no-build, etc then I would suggest they get packaged with the server software.

    There should be a number of map packs, some nice and simeple but tactical, the de_dust of KAG, the large and complicated, and the abnormal such as floating islands, pillars of dirt (these can be very fun or very annoying), so yes, I am in favor of map packs, but there can be many different kinds, tacical, large, pre built, ect.

    Not sure if this ever became common knowledge, but we have a community map site: http://kagstuff.com/.

    We know Allknowingfrog, they just wanted "map pack" of all the balanced good ones. Plus it seems a little disorganized over there.

    I would also like to see a crazy maps pack, full of fun weird stuff, instead of just lame weird stuff.

    Hmmm, I kinda wanna make an upside down map now... with bases on the bottom.

    Why oh why are a couple of my maps listed lol. Most every map I made was shit, and only done as a last resort so I had some custom maps back when I ran my servers.

    Also why no original upside down by Rayne? That was most fun map at the time it was made. Would still be fun imo.
