The fact that I love old-school maps so much (because they're fun but at the same time uncomplicated) is one of the reasons why all my maps were made in that style.
Take Civ Massacre (Mass Murder), for example. It's one of the worst maps I've ever made but people played it for hours until they realised how rubbish it was.
Space-Survival was another map which was technically dire but some people still liked.
All the good old-school maps out there are based on one thing: fun. A lot of the last two year's maps were too concerned with being technically superior and the mappers have forgotten that fun and simplicity should be the first priorities when making a map (in my opinion).

ROFL you made CIV massacre?!? My respect for you has drop
JK. Lol that map was fun. I couldn't imagine some guy like you naming all those units and stuff the way they were named. (Like the beacons were called "Pick me, biznatch" and "More units, ass")
But yes, simplicity and fun. That's how pretty much all of my maps have been. I dont care if they're complex or not or whether other people could make them just as easily. As long as it's the first of its kind to come out (or rarely seen) and people enjoy it, then my mission is accomplished.
