Scenario Stagnation, 10 Year Anniversary!

So, Atwar scenarios have been going for about 10 years now. The last time I color coded the most popular scenarios was about 5 years ago. Here are the results of five years ago (every square is a scenario, and the color is determined by the year of their creation, with dark red being 2011 and light green 2015. The scenarios are arranged from most played to least played, from left to right, top to bottom):






and here are the results of today:





I scanned really fast through the scenarios listed in blue, but if I am not mistaken, they are all RP/UN scenario remakes. For a better comparation:

Data from 2015 to 2021:
15% were made in 2011 --> 11%
25% were made in 2012 --> 12.50%
38% were made in 2013 --> 32%
20% were made in 2014 --> 23%
2% were made in 2015 --> 8.30%
5.50% were made in 2016
7% were made in 2017-2021

Alr, it only took me fifteen minutes to gather the data. See you in five years.

TLDR; 87% of the most played scenarios were made in the first 5 years of Atwar's lifespan. 13% were made in the next five years.
TLDR; 100% of all popular 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 scenarios are RP/UN remakes.
TLDR; 2014 maps went from 20% to 23% after 5 years. All other categories lost percentages.
TLDR; 11% of the top 72 most popular scenarios were made before the map editor became public.

You're still alive?

^ This. Golden Age of Afterwind.

Currently i am playing WoW Classic, Blizzard had to re-open 15 year old servers due to public outcry. Old games and game versions are simply better than modern ones.

I'd like to see Afterwind Classic now, with flower stacks, 6 reinf paris, ability to attack enemy t1... sigh... so many memories...

We must physically force people to play new stuff insted of making the new editor free, better and making a legitimate course to help new mapmakers learn how to make maps.

Throwback to the good ole world war II days that I miss so much
