All these maps are already in except the 10 players maps versions of other maps (useless), the official ones, World Domination (80x80 or even 40x40 is too big), Phenom Spartiate because too ugly / not natural, and supreme carnage, which is bugged.
World Domination may not be too big in 40x40 if the spawn points are carefully chosen, but it's not the case at the moment.

Check the map list from pip, there is a 99% chance they are already in it.

Currently, we seek testers for these 800+ maps.

When you report a map with a problem, report the map name, not just the planet number. You will see the map name in the score panel. Or otherwise, you can browse all the pictures in the vault, you will see how time consuming it is...

@zep : The reported broken map on planet 41 is Big black mama. In my list, the name is Big Black Papy2 (or 4, latest version). Big Black mama should not be in the map pool, and a few other maps I spotted (like on planet 153, assassin lava circles v1)

Please give the planet name (it's on the score panel in the replay or ingame).

As far as I tested both maps work fine (all mass/hydro spots are buildable, slopes are passable/unpassable as i expected). Uploaded both to Map Vault under those names. If that works I can try to create new maps for GW more or less regularly.

Only issue is: I am a bit new to map-making - does anyone know how to fix the mini-map appearing black?

CraterSands' water looks bad (squary from zoomed out), ForestWalk looks fine. It's a good start for map making. If possible, try to make maps with Red / blue / white / Grey / techno themes, because green and desert themes have already a lot of maps.

As for your question, post it in the mapping subforum, I have no clue about it.

Would it be possible to show the map name of a specific planet, or at least the size?
I don't know all the maps by heart and it's sometimes a surprise on how long a game can possibly last.

Planet 77 spawn both players on the bottom side, with one in the middle and the other to their left, it is very IMBA as the middle player can get the expansion to their right very easily.

Then don't attack that planet?

GW is for everyone, some people like long games.

There will be small maps, bigs maps, 2 players up to 8 players.

I checked the pool and didnt find it...

And i really think that bigger maps shouldnt be in the map pool

In my opinion Maps like on 139 are already to big!

i dont want to fight for an hour to gain 5% occupation when on other times i gain also 5% with only 10 minutes waiting

GW is supposed to have more than 800 maps, of course the current maps are not all there, there is not enough planets yet. Check the list if you want to know if your favorite maps are there.

The map on 43 is Buggy,
The Hydrocarbon Powerplant cn not be built on all starting spots.
And the Players start both on the right side

on Planet 162 seems to be no map at all (upper left Corner)

Map on Planet 71 is assymetric and imba for 1v1

Map on planet 43 (green valley) will be removed.

I don't know which map is on 162, so i can't remove it. Maybe it works but has no preview. Same situation for planet 14 on the right.

The map on Planet 71 is special, it's a 1v3 map. I added it for special situations, for instance a planet that is easy to defend. However, the number of mass spots is ridiculous, better remove it.

I cleaned up a bit the maps but i can see some maps previews in the GW planets that are not in my list, such as planet 153 (map name = assassin lava circles v1). I think that maybe the routine that picks up map names picked up this one because it has the word "lava" in it, or a reason like that.

Anyway, here is the newest list.
