We like your multiplayer games very much. My friends and I play multiplayer games every night. However, there are few maps, only less than 10 maps.Hope to increase as soon as possible, thank you!

You're right, single player optimization is the main work right now, but uploading a few maps that already exist in single player games to multiplayer should be a breeze. For example, upload a few custom in-game field maps and castles to multiplayer games. Currently there are more custom game maps than multiplayer games.They will do that, but currently they need to concentrate on thousands of bugs, which make the sp unplayable.
I think developers just need to port the maps in custom game mode to multiplayer games and don't need to spend time developing new maps.While I generally prefer MP over SP, I don't see an issue with them focusing on pumping out the singleplayer scenes right now. They have few dedicated scene makers and it generally takes around ~3 weeks to finish a scene (from an older dev blog).
Hello,Will there be any new content for multiplayer?
Even a half competent mapper can fix them in less than a day (all of them). They need to be less rigid and faster in fixing stuff.Most of the current less are unplayable because of bugs and glitches. Before adding new stuff fix the current mess so atleast something works properly.

I quite agree with you, but that would have to be a creative workshopGive us a map editor and we could pump out a fully functioning skirmish map every day.
You mean multiplayer already has a lot of map files? Those files are just not activated, right?There's even a new game mode that hasn't been made public yet? I think the official team can explain to us what the future plans are
It has alot of maps if you look into the files, we just arent allowed to play them. 002 or 007 is xauna i think, since it had a winter map version in beta.
Similar happens accros all the game modes and game modes that we dont even have.

Well obviously they arent finished, but how far would you need to finish something to play it? Most of them probably just need playtesting, balancing and optimization otherwise they wouldnt push them into the live build. They cant be dublicates otherwise they would share the same map number. The test map is labeled as test map.Those map files are mostly incomplete, duplicates, or test maps. There are only a few there that look like they are near completion, but I still think they would need quite a bit of work if they were to be implemented in 6v6 skirmish. I'm sure that the same goes for the other siege and captain map files sitting there as well.

Didnt actually bothered to open them ingame, didnt expect them to still only be cubes aswell if they are in the build. I didnt count the battania ones in since they got a different nameing convention, which i dunno why its used.Map 2 is Town Outskirts, 3 is Trading Post, and 7 is Xauna. By incomplete, I meant that when I tried to load them up they crashed my game, so unless I'm making an error they probably aren't in a position to be playtested yet; these are 6, 8, 9, and 10. It's almost certainly a poor measure of the level of development, but those maps' .xscene files in their respective folders - which describe the placement of objects around the map - seem to typically only be a fraction of the size of those of a completed map. They also often use the editor_cube, which I assume is a black-and-white checkered cube being used during map development, so they will probably demand a lot of visual work. Map 1 looks like it is also a test map, but that might be wrong.
Of the ones that are working, map 5 from memory looks like it will require a lot of decorative work from where it is, and it didn't look like it would play well to me. Map 13 is very, very large and open, so I wouldn't anticipate it being included in Skirmish unless Taleworlds goes all-in on Skirmish as a cavalry-only gamemode. Both Map 4 and battania_02/03 (they're duplicates) look like they are fully decorated and ready for playtesting, and could become good maps, but both look a bit too big for 6v6 to me. Their flags are all in a straight line between each other as well, which in my view is a poor design for skirmish.
Of course, the files we have might not necessarily reflect the level to which the maps have been developed since they were put there, but this is the state of the skirmish maps in the files right now.
Interestingly enough, there may be more work to be done on the multiplayer side, but I still think the quickest solution is to port the single-player map directly to the multiplayer sideThose map files are mostly incomplete, duplicates, or test maps. There are only a few there that look like they are near completion, but I still think they would need quite a bit of work if they were to be implemented in 6v6 skirmish. I'm sure that the same goes for the other siege and captain map files sitting there as well.
