Map "Conflict" Improper for newbies?

[TotalNoob]

Hello

I think that we should change the default map (Conflict), that appears when setting up a game. Newbies tend to start a game without modification of default settings. As a result they start a game with bases very near each other (red and blue) and in different teams. Maybe some other map would be better, a map, which base starting points are far away from each other (for example Lau Lagoon, Domination Isles or Forest_For_Four).

Haha, this certain rings with familiarity. When testing mods, eg, to get screenshots, I'd generally start with the default settings, which results in the first alphabetical map. I've done that with conflict once, and ended up killing myself before I could realized what happened. And of course, that's just me being lazy and forgetful. It'd be even worse for a newby who has no idea what the map is would likely just go with the first option (trying to figure out the image is too hard to interpret for a newby - a 3D preview could possibly solve that though).

As for a map name:
-Team alliance
-Frontier
-Team forest
-Pinch
-Pathway
-Two on two
-Wrath
-Crysis
-Warzone

Personally, I really like "Team alliance". It portrays the concept of working as a team (2v2) well and still has a strong, interesting name.

Well thats true. Or we change the default setup when simply opening a game? But this would be bad in case he switches to a 2 player map ...
So which map would be good ?

In Annex I made a 2 player version of conflict named 1v1_Conflict and rename original to 2v2_Conflict, so then the 2 player version becomes the default map, and avoids this issue. Any maps built specifically for teams has 2v2 in the name for easy recognition.

I think that Conflict is just fine because of its simplicity. I would not change.

i'm with ishmaru.
basically, conflict is a nice map, but the issue in question can be really annoying.

Which maps I would consider I've listed in first post. Another thing I've noticed is that newbies sometimes start their first game without waiting for anyone and without ai to fight with. The game ends fast and newbie is probably bit confused what was wrong. Maybe player 4 should be set as AI by default?
