What is your favorite random map you have played in any RTS game?

Personally I like Black Forrest (yeah I'm boring

)

Well, Wijit, i love "Black Forest", but EE (and EE2, Empires: DotMW) doesnt have those maps, so i usually play "Highlands". I dont know what grapich engine you are using, but if you will make an "Black Forest", i will play it, i hope you olso include "Highlands"

I like "Coastal", "Gold Rush" and a few others (yes, I like "Black Forest" too, Wijit!

)

Black Forest and that one in AOM which devides the map into player sections seperated by mountains or rivers.

I thought of another one Sherwood forest in aok places trees far enough apart that you can still walk through them but ithe entire map is covered in a thin spread of trees. Ocassional clearings provide places to build and tracks exist through the woods.

Highlands, especially the one in AOK with the bodies of water and rivers

2nd to that is probably Arabia (or Savannah in AOM)

Black Forest

Rivers

and

!mishi! - where 2 large teams are seperated by a large main strip of forest, players have to cut through the forest, when there is a passage, there is tonnes of fighting, it truely is survival of the fittest!

Highland. I don't like things where you start out near a coast. I don't like to defend against ships that fire things (not very accurate anyway.) so there are a lot of maps in AoK that I don't like.

I would however like to defend against an amphibious assault. That would be great.
Imagine:

June 6th, 0 A.D.
06.00 o clock
Landing ground Alpha

Well you get the idea I guess. A lot of 'exploding' (Without fire these smalls ships can hardly explode, I mean just being blown from the water) transport. Suddenly they open and the defending men on the hill start firing their arrows.

Wow, as soon as the game's out, I'm going to make a D-Day scenario.

Yeah something like that would be cool. But that's random maps we are talking, your suggestion sounds more like a Scenario, Multiplayer Map ?

I'd go with a map that looks like the special '0' from the 0ad logo. Players start around the circle and at the middle of the cross there you can get immortal.

Or there is just some big gold mine.

I know it's a scenario, but I got off topic while thinking about amphibious assaults.

I like Black Forest (yay Wijit!), Highlands, Gold Rush, Ghost Lake, and Islands. (all AOK maps)

I usually only want to play Islands when I feel like dominating the sea

Highland (nope, hate rivers)
Arabia
Islands
Team Islands
Archipelago (oooh, gotta love the random setup of this map!)
Medit
Nomad
Land nomad

I really love all those maps, though there's nothing like a good game of blind random
