      @lafayette when you say the same height as typical text that's not really a size can you give me a height and/or width in pixels? also would be helpful to know where this star would be displayed do you have a mockup of the screen sans stars?

        @ubernaut The category text (right hand column) in the download maps screen is what will be replaced:

        I don't know what the best height will be, I presume something slightly taller than the height of the map name text in the left hand column.

                  @ubernaut Looks good. FWIW, my plan was to replace the category with the star rating.

                    Calling a map experimental seems nicer than showing 1 star for it. How about very good yet experimental maps? Like maps which are in experimental because of being hack-based.

                        No matter what system of representation you use... at its core it is all arbitrary without some way for the community of players to evaluate a map and its playability. We currently have hugely imbalanced maps that are (for whatever reason) categorized as High Quality despite the many flaws in design.

                          @hepps I would love for the ratings to be sorted out and refined. There is an open need for Map Admins to go through and do curation of maps, volunteers needed: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/2707/map-curation-rating-maps-categories/1
