1. What's this site about?
This site is about maps for the popular 2D game
Soldat.
My goal is to offer help to mappers and players by showing them the
best available maps, so they can learn from these or host them on
servers. The main problem is that a lot of good maps never make it
in server rotations, because most server owners are happy with the
default map pool, or they host sucky maps. This has got to
change.
2. Who are you to tell which maps are sucky and which maps aren't?
I am a mapper myself. Not the best, but a mapper non-the-less. I've released one
mappack
so far, and lots of other maps, and I'm making more and more, soon I
might create another pack. I'm also a beta tester, and my map is in
Soldat's intro at the moment ( it sucks, yes. ).
3. But I made better maps that you're showing here, although I'm not posting it on Soldat Forums!
Well then, you can show me your map,
and if it's good, I'll link it here. Also, it's generally a good idea
to post your creations on Soldat Forums, because the mapping community
has nested itself there. It's pretty rare for a map to get known
without the forums.
4. About the Highlights-thing.. are you doing that alone too?
Yes and no. I'm editing this site
alone, but I'm selecting Map of the Month and Mapper of the Month
after I discuss it with other mappers. Also, the general response
of the public counts too ( altough most mapping critique one can get on
the forums is 'zomg nice map'. ).
