We should have some mapmaking guidelines

[Beherith]

What about radial symmetry?

[Neddie]

I think you can separate functional symmetry from graphical or even placement-nominal. You can have an asymmetric yet balanced map.

What about radial symmetry?

did I mention Trojan Hills Circle edition !!

LIES!

if we were producing some *real* map making guidlines:

Symmetry

Maps should be symmetrical, with the line of symmetry being directly between the two starts. ie: a left v right should be symmetrical via a vertical line in the center.

for BONUS POINTS, a map benefits further from being left v right AND up v down symmetrical. For example:

/plug

This map is neither symmetrical up v down or left v right -- it's a mirror image in both ways.

In principle a map could be reflected more than once (eg DSD 8 way island)
