Looks like a very cool map, a mix of everything just like you said. Especially the wall limitation is very interesting, so you cannot wall your gates, cannot wall your castle, cannot wall another gate which you can build on the other dirt line. So rushing one single castle with 80 pop should be very easy. The first impression is that the map is better than CBA.
I'm not fussed with new maps being added via a rotation system, as long as there are enough fundamental AOC maps in the pack to keep familiarity.
Europe is my favourite map as it combines CS familiarity and game speed with RM game style, and I do not wish to see it added to Random-CS. The community aren't ready for it, and we get our kicks from hosting it on Match Stats as it is.
I'm wondering on the concept of a contemporary pack for the competitive team games between clans ie fundamental maps like Smosh, Vets, Khans [long story short, no obscure or tardy maps], while the main pack Voobly promote features new maps and struggling maps - while keeping some familiar maps that should help newer players pick up non-CBA maps quicker ie Khans for blocking/rushing, Smosh for the concept of power-up, speed and positioning etc.
I understand you'll respond with "you can make your own pack" which is fine. I think it's better if a contemporary pack were made and endorsed by Voobly, as I think it should have a consensus that clans have actually voted the maps in like with TIW. I'm sure I'm not the first to think Daze blood popping up in a clan match is anticlimactic. I'm of the view the maps should be voted unanimously ie Europe would get voted in by say ViCiouS and Eot_, and vetoed as such by 7th making it unfit for the contemporary pack. Obviously reasons should be disclosed for voted maps, and kept private by whoever governs the pack just to avoid the cycle of flaming that would normal ensue. If the governing body thinks a reason has no good grounding, it's ignored eg "ViCiouS doesn't like CBA in the pack because it isn't Graves blood".
I'm happy to help out with doing collaborative map guides on video if someone wants to do the recording and editing themselves. I'd imagine the videos would be less boring when there's two people discussing the map highlighted - and I think a Spanish translation is a must, at the least in text.

Are you high? If every map needed a consensus we'd have one or two maps.
Lets give it a try

Well with a video I cannot refuse this lol. I'll add it on friday.
Can you do a video for future replacement maps?
