How stemming the tide of the RTR+SW desertions ?

Hi all,

The RTR+SW server is little by little forsaken by players. Today it's rare to be numerous enough to play.
Me and my team (Arvernes) consider that's a real pity. In our mind the RTR+SW is much more fun than the Classic one. The power struggle between allies and axes is much more balanced (Wake or Battle of the Bulge are almost unplayable on allies side). The technological gap is, as often as not, smaller (less man versus machine and more hand-to-hand). In a word, the fight is more equitable, therefore more enjoyable.

So, how preserving this server ? We noticed that some maps are unpopular and push players into disconnecting. We suggest Great Architect (tuia ?) introduce a voting system to have the possibility to switch the next map.

Hello Coco,
RtR+SW server can always be improved with some feedback from you all. I can make some small modifications to Road to Rome or Secret Weapons maps, not many changes overall because of time constraints. Voting system can be enabled, of course, if you think it's better.

Thanks Tuia!
Enable vote if it can be quickly done, otherwise do it later, please!
We prefer to get RTR+SW stats first, because it's highly motivating!

I can help you Tuia if you want.

Hi !

Thank you for voting system. Is it possible to decrease the number of needed votes to change ?

For example right now on Gothic Line, we had 11 votes (13 needed to change to Essen). For this 11 players, Gothic Line is boring and some disconnect.

For the first time in a long while, we played a couple of rounds at more than 30. It seems to work, many thanks !!
