why are there no navy maps in the 1v1 ladder map pool?
There are: Stella Maris and Lost Wisdom are both in the 1v1 ladder map pool. Possibly they're not in your pool specifically, because the pool changes depending on your rating bracket.
Both maps are quite large for a 1v1, so they've been selected for higher rating brackets.
"Design is an iterative process. The necessary number of iterations is one more than the number you have currently done. This is true at any point in time."
Newest map:
that means low level players dont get a chance to practice navy early on.
sad.
could have added a simple map just for that purpose,but meh.
what do i care
Its very rare/non-existent that good navy maps are smaller than 15x15km. Good 1v1 maps with navy gameplay included are most often very overwhelming to play for lower rated players.
For instance a map like roanoke will likely become a 60+ minute game ender situation for many <500 rated players. Similarly a map like bermuda locket is hated by the gross of <1k rated players, because it requires too much apm to play.
In addition small and "easy" navy maps tend to have weird gameplay mechanics, like frigate rushes that decide a game in the first 5 minutes. Or kamikazing an acu into opponents naval facts. But if you have a suggestion for a good navy map for lower rated players, Id like to hear it ofcourse
