Curated Best/Top Maps & TripleA Guides

Update 1st post to include
15256 Technology tab split from players tab on to its own tab. (Really good for 1888a & Total World War as they have lots of Tech)
Shows any map missing icons as a placeholder square icon.

With the new look and feel website, the Markdown has changed and the 1st post needed to be updated, now looking much better, just like the old version.
Also, here is my recommendation for a stable 2.7 pre-release
2.7.15256
Faster than 2.5
Technology tab split from players tab on to its own tab. (Really good for 1888a & Total World War as they have lots of Tech)
Shows any map missing icons as a placeholder square icon.
Shows on status bar the relationship (war, neutral, allied) of territories (Really good in FFA maps)

Added to the Axis & Allies style table, where;
Complexity where 1 is simple, 4 is complex in comparison.
Features of the boardgame/Triple map.Please correct me, if its wrong.
@beelee
If you write some feature text I will paste it in for your UHD 1940 map.
Should your map have a Complexity of 5, as you have added lots to the base game?Link to see the changes, scroll down a bit to Axis & Allies style

Hi Dog
I'm guessing you're referring to the Expansion mod me and the guys play "Global 40 Expansion UHD Boxes". I would just give it a complexity level of 1 higher than whatever the Global 40 OOB game has.
Edit
I guess something like this is what you're suggesting ?Global 40 Expansion UHD Boxes
It uses the UHD Mega Map based off of the Bung,Veqryn "World War II Global 1940 2nd Edition" Map.
This is a House Rule Mod for "World War II Global 1940 2nd Edition". It was Created by The Captain and Company

Removed Big World
It is old but I know a lot people still play it
One of the first maps I played. Then I saw NWO and then I went back to Alaska and took a 10 year break lolwell .. just a thought
Hope you are well Dog
Peace

So easy to add to the curated list but hard to remove.
Just trying to keep the list trim. -
Yah, tough choice.
If someone would have made Big World this year, I think there would be little doubt that it is not any kind of outstanding map to be featured, and probably nobody or almost nobody would be playing it (I guess). However, like in the case of fine wine, a map tends to be more popular if it is very old.
I'm thinking that maybe it is needed an other group like the "Axis & Allies style" where to put all those WW2 maps made in the very old times which have become TripleA staples just because of being so embedded into TripleA history albeit not being one of "those ones". The main two would be "The Pact of Steel" and "Big World". This from someone who actually likes none of them.

Totally agree, and nostalgia is not one of my tick boxes.
People play it, so it must have some redeeming features, but from a my perception of what new players want, it does not cut it.
The competition in the WW2 Global group is fierce, A&A maps and the ones listed all surpass it, so removed.

Hi Dog
You may want to edit the first post as the Lobby has migrated from 2.5 to the latest 2026 versions

Thanks!
Tidied up that first section to make it current.
