Spring RTS Engine

I enter the lobby and see BA with DSD, BA with Throne, Zero-K with porc-line maps...

Is there any chance to get a game running with a map like this?:

• 2-4 starting areas with mex-spots for 3-8 players
• Battlefield surrounded by unimportant terrain (no mexes, no easy defendable positions)
• Mex-spots distributed enough to discourage defense lines and porc on each single mex.
• A few more-metal-areas (2-4 spots) designed for outposts and a few defenses.
• No bottlenecks.

If all players start far away from another they don't support each other if someone is failing.

If we have a rectilinear defense line engagement, long range defenses are too multi role (Anni = arty and replacement for more low-range defenses)

Host your own battleroom!

yes, each player in his own startposition would be a nice change.
Sadly even maps that have clearly seperated startpositions:

get played in "south vs north" style.
Guess it is because of a mixture of being too hard to set up (fixed startpos not being supported (zkl/springie?) , !addbox thing is cumbersome etc) and general DSDness.

Play NOTA on 5-STARS and 4-STARS maps.

Sometimes is better to say that there is sentence with three shity links then use some cheap metaphor or phrase.

DL-Links are broken
