Steppes.
I'm a borign person and often dislike to think too much regarding positional factors. The only thing left to worry about is melee manouvers (flanking,etc).

I an kind of partial to San Romano and Legnano.

In San Romano, the structure of the defending hills gives the attackers some leeway, and it is also quite picturesque with the castle walls on the edge and all.

Legnano is just a nice grassy map with small hills and a few trees.

san romano is nice...but a bit hard to defend i think...

i really like flatinland04(or is it 10) the one with the ditch going through the middile of it from corner to corner.
the position of ther ditch forces some aggressive actions early on, and at the same time the sides of the ditch are ideal for a long attrition.

Flatinlands without a doubt. A few ar ebetter than others ,I like the somewhat more flatter ones, with some small patches of trees. Plains is plain boring, and steppe is even worse. Mountains and hilly are too unfair.

Too bad not all people host games with those maps (they think it's completely flat).

As for my favorite faction, it'd have to be the Germans, meet me online to see why http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif.

Hail Everyone,

Flatinlands has to be my favorite series. They have nice hills without it being mountaneous as some of the hillsinland maps appear. The mix of hills and scattered trees(depending on the map) makes games more interesting and realistic. Allows players to try and take advantage of everything the game has to offer and the strategy that best suits your army.

Yeah agincourt or any slightly hilly with a bit of woods does me just fine.

I like hills and attacking on hill maps. It's challenging, but not all that difficult. Best hill maps would be those that don't have high "edge hills" for camping.

San Romano's probably my favourite individual map. Flatinland04 is nice, hillsinland20 is probably the best "insane" map.

I usually host flatinlands because of popular demand. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

i luuurrve custom maps, but we need all the good ones to be released somewhat "officially" so more people have them

I like all sorts of maps. I like big hills, little hills, flat maps, grassy maps, desert.

I miss the fog, though....god I miss the fog. Nothing better than flanking the enemy with 3/4 of your army and catching him totally by suprise.

Hey Alro, have you tried Bachs_Gambit2, custom map yet? Its picturesque but a bit hilly.

I like the flatinland maps. They've got some hills so its not as boring as plain flat maps, and some trees for variety. Although I personally dislike trees. Flatinland09 is probably my favorite map, either that or 14 or 16. I like the multi-colored grass http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

any of the flatinlands series although the developer haven't seemed to realise they should make the edges lower to avoid corner camping..."but that would ruin SP" http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif well i think we got enough choice these days so maybe the days of custom map packs are over...we will see, if you bringing one out Mizus lemme know and i can submit a couple http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Flatinland for me from what I've seen.

I'm glad to hear baz comment that maps should have lower edges. I've thought that too. The maps in MTW are bigger and it is a pain when you've got to march across them to get to the defender in the corner.
