SoD Championship

I would like to ask the experienced players which L-map strategies they consider good. Or is playing on L-maps generally not popular? I must admit, such a categorical rejection of L-maps puzzles me. After all, 90% of games used to be played on them.

The difference is best seen by watching live tournaments on L-maps and XL-maps. The intensity of the competition, the number of maneuvers, the number of final battles, the intricate scenarios, etc.

Games on L-maps, with rare exceptions, are usually like this: you restart successfully, gather resources, and then see what the map offers. That is, the game is mainly against the map, not against the opponent. Skill is needed, but it is more of a skill in completing quests than a skill in face-to-face combat. The former is easier to develop, hence...

On XL-maps, the map layout also plays a role, but the percentage of meaningful games where you win against the opponent as a person, and not just because of your/their map layout, is significantly higher.

Mirror map.

I would also add Anarchy. But this is more due to the fact that it is not as "overplayed" at the moment.
