Ice Cream Parlor Map

Post by tlance8 »

Anyone else finding that the Ice Cream Parlor map is just the strongest of them all and an easy win if you play an average game? I feel like I've won 75% of my games when getting that map no matter how well I play the game.

It is a decent map but honestly Silver Lake is by far the best. Free money up front which helps a ton early game and then Determination which is a HUGE end game boost, can often cross and then go again and make it so pretty much no one can beat you.

I played quite a lot of hard mode solo games during alpha (9 games on each map) and I had the most success on this map.

It's the only Map I didn't lose with and has by far my highest average score and max scores. Map 6 and Map 3 were also very strong. Overall I would rank them as follows for solo.

7 > 6,3 > 4,1 > 2,5 >> 8

I suspect Map 3 is the best map in multiplayer for the burst potential in the end game. Map 2 is probably better that I have it above, I think I'm just bad with it :D

Code: Select all

Map	No.     Win	%       AVG    Max
1	9	6	66.7%	6.6    29
2	9	5	55.6%	2.9    39
3	9	7	77.8%	7.6    27
4	9	7	77.8%	4.1    24
5	9	4	44.4%	-3.9   12
6	9	7	77.8%	14.1   38
7	9	9	100.0%	22.8   49
8	9	4	44.4%	-1.6   22
All	72	49	68.1%	6.4    49

i agree here.

Silverlake and Outdoor Areas should be the best overall maps on average. but of course you can win with any map.

Why not forcing the same Zoo Map for all players, then.
You can't remove chance at all levels, but this one is easy to fix, at least in BGA (not on a table).

Yes, this I know.
My remark was not a request for dev team here, but for the player discussing the different values of each zoo map.
