100% agreement from me, but it was my way it'd be DM3 only.

ONE MAP ONLY GUYS!!!!

Well said man.

I'd rather learn 1 new map (and a supposedly very good one) than 6 or 7 of the blighters!

:I totally agree. No-one has time to learn the maps properly.

Great looking web page - but hey, isn't that my
Poor_Monkey picture you borrowed for your logo?!
Hmmm, all the hours I spent in QMe and PSP doing
up that and where's the credit? Heh!

Yeah it's a great map, but for 5 on 5 clan games
it really isn't the thing is it? It just turns
out to be a big FFA with those people who like
dm4 hanging around the Quad and the dm6 guys
hogging the ra/rl. Too big for 10 people I
think, and one map isn't going to do us for the
whole league. I think there are new bug-free
versions of this out too - death32c anyone?
BTW I love dm4 and dm6 as much as the next guy.

: What about it IQCL admins ? It isnt the way the Brits do it I know but we arent british are we?

Nope, and we aren't all from UL either. The
reason for choosing the UKCL maps was not for
our love of things British (yeah, right), but
rather because they are classic maps which make
for good clan teamplay games, not free for
fuppin alls. If they had come from Mozambique
and were good teamplay levels, we still would
have included them.

So what suggestions do we have for normal id1
levels the week after? dm6? e2m1?

I disagree. I think the different maps make things more interesting, as there are less set tactics out there.
We had two clan matches [5v5] last night on UKCLDM4 and UKCLDM1 over a LAN with Incarnate. We had never played on these levels before, and
INC presumably were playing us to try out some tactics they were mulling over for the IQCL. They beat us on both levels
but both matches were very close, and went right to the wire. I reckon it's because the UK levels are so well
designed, that even a gang of players who've never seen the levels can be fairly competitive by just wandering around (there's no shartage of
RA's, RL's and obvious power-ups). I reckon if we'd spent 20 minutes playing on the levels before the game, we could have taken INC.

My point is that I think these maps are the last word for clan matches, and I recommend everyone to give em a go! Lets get good at them and then take
on a few of the brit clans on their own turf!

I agree - They are alot more even than oh say DM3...
Tactics in them ~are~ important, but you don't
have to do major planning - an advantage if you
haven't much time to play the maps before hand.

Death32c is way too big for 5 on 5 clan wars.

Why not just use UKCLDM2 all the time ?

I seen it at Leapracon - nD seemed to have ~no~ planning
at all - I did say ~some~ planing was needed..
