As we teach computers to generate more interesting and complex worlds dynamically (so people learn to play the game and dissect the map during play rather than becoming overly familiar with a specific set of fixed maps and the best/most exploitative areas in them) then dealing with slight uneven sides becomes more important (unless you make all maps mirror situations). I guess even the other people on your team could be described as a randomising factor and so worthy of consideration (in the case of larger than 1vs1 games), I wonder if the current matchmaking/trueskill systems try and track this in a detailed comparative way (rather than just trying to average the ‘skills’ of the rest of your team and adding a bias to your end result if it isn’t close to your opposition).

But seriously. this sounds very promising. Comparing how other people stood their ground on a specific map will be really interesting. Looking forward to tomorrow!
