Welcome to city 17

The following notes detail the new map rotation for the December 2017 balance patch, along with all of the changes made in an extensive community map revamp. We have to give serious credit to SOE-Sturmpanther for coordinating the effort. Further thanks to community map makers Capiqua, Siphon X, Lord Rommel, Pigsoup, MonolithicBacon and WhiteFlash, who have used their skills to bring these changes to the live game.

MAPS TO BE REMOVED FROM AUTOMATCH
Based on community feedback, we have removed a selection of less played (highly vetoed) maps from the automatch pool. Multiple other highly vetoed maps have instead been adjusted to better suit competitive play. Below is the list of maps that will be removed from automatch as of the December Balance Update.

3v3
• City 17 (now custom games only)
• Montargis Region(now custom games only)
• Lazur Factory (now custom games only)
• Hill 331 (now custom games only)

4v4
• Montargis Region (now custom games only)
• Hill 331 (now custom games only)
No City 17 in the 4vs4 list
