Strongholds: Revised Map Pool

Commanders!

We have been collecting your feedback and comparing it with statistical data with the intention of improving your Strongholds experience. This time we have looked into the map pools for both Skirmishes and Advances.

The biggest changes will be introduced to the Tier VI map pool. Many of the maps removed were deemed too large for dynamic gameplay, encouraged passive play, or are still to be revised. We hope you agree with the changes – either way, please share your thoughts on the forum.

The changes will be introduced on 11 April.

Skirmishes – Tier VI
Skirmishes – Tier VIII
Skirmishes – Tier X
Advances
