If you want to be a successful mapper in EIRR, you must follow the EIRR Map Formula.
You make a map thats narrower than it's length (not to exceed 640m) by at least 33%. Map width is approx 84m-128m per player (more players, the less space per player). You add a couple roads, not too many, starting from the spawn areas. You then add a few fields, some hedgerows and a small town somewhere in the middle section of the map (may be to either side of the map, but must be equal distance from spawns. After this is done, add some trees (only a few), bushes, haystacks, etc for cover. Detail to taste.
This is the only acceptable map formula for EIRR gameplay (otherwise you will suffer loads of whining about it being unbalanced because someones support heavy build can't cover the whole map, or it's too dense for the armor heavy builds to use open ground, etc) To vary from this map formula is certain doom.
Checklist for Mappers:
Map is no longer than 640m
Map is no wider than 2/3 it's length with a max of 128m per player.
Map does not include any large water features
Map does not include heavily forested areas
Map has 1 town along the centerline of the map equal distance from spawns
Map is made up of mainly fields, separated by hedgerows.

Not totally agreeing. This is a formula for certain success BUT not the only way to go.
Other maps are still possible, but do not go down that road unless you are a really Really experienced mapper.

 There used to be a really unique 3v3 map that was set in an all city kind of environment, it was much wider than it was long, and had an elevated park in the middle of it. Does anyone remember what this map is? I'd love to play a game on it again some time soon. One team would start near warehouses and a dock (I think?) and the other would start next to ruined buildings and the main fight would occur in the elevated park in the middle! |

Sadly, if that map was actually created it would probably be rather popular....

Hey AmPm don't feel so down. Lambert is still popular and doesn't fit tha description at all.
Infact it's creaion description was "Purchase industrial Meat grinder. Fill grinder with players. Activate as necessary"

I gotta be honest.... there was a map that I really enjoyed but it was just too large and needed to be fixed. It had its problems but it was very neat and fixable.... Purple Heart Lane

You should have seen the hate mail I sent unknown for Including Purple Heart Lane and Foy without previewing them. I think it's part of the reason the process to get maps in now is so intense
[Purple Heart Lane= Hold 80% of the map and still be 50/50 population]

I concur with ur map formula. Add a further 32M per player on the width for the crazy bastards who like asymmetrical warfare.
Alternatively, you could do a "2 cities" format with an "open field" in the middle so that people don't get pushed more than 60-70% off.... rather than a flat out spawn camp.

I liked Dawn, although if someone could remove the epic bloom it would make it even more epic.

It's more or less correct, although variations are certainly acceptable as long as they are not too revolutionary as far as I have experienced. (I.E full industrial/urban/forest). And I disagree with the notion that forest maps can't be popular, I'm confident they can be (provided there's a mix with open areas and/or towns), it's just that few people actually bothered to create a forest map.

Because a forum post should be like a woman's skirt. Long enough to cover the subject material, but short enough to keep things interesting.

If you want generic maps... follow the list.
