[CALLING ALL TRANSLATORS (IA String Translation Thread)]

I can help translating into Spanish and Portuguese. I'm not a professional translator (I am a scientist), but I've worked in several translation projects over the years.

To add to this, none of us get paid to do this. We work for free, spending many countless hours and days of our lives working on projects to bring players like you as much fun as we can. And I say again, for free.

@erickgch Discussion is great and I highly recommend it. However I will suggest that in the future we try to start it off in some way other than calling out the mapper with comments like "cancer", "carcinogenic", and "who even made this map?", unless your intent is to actually call them out because you can do better. We don't make people feel bad here, its not really our thing.

That would indeed be interesting.

The insults are just trolling. Sorry if I haven't made that clear. I actually like the work you guys do. To prove that, I'll make a donation in the following days.

As I have mentioned before in-game, I think there are many flaws with the carcinogenic map known as RA_Siege, A.K.A "who even made this map?" or "!skip pls". I know there are some people out there who like it, but it's my impression that most players don't. I might be wrong, though. I also have the impression that players usually leave when this map comes in.

Now, what's wrong with siege (note: this is my very own personal opinion):

1- It's way too big (we all know that).

2- Also due to the size, it takes a lot of time for the harvester to get the ore.

3- A lot of unused space in the castle (See first picture). Some AI "ghosts" would be good, like in the church on Stormy Valley.

4- The rainy weather makes that map depressing. This may have a psychological effect on players. Rainy weather = bad weather; rainy map = bad map.

5- This section of the Soviet base (see second picture, compare to third picture).

Additional suggestion: How about a secondary path for vehicles/infantry over the lake? (See fourth picture)

I think it would be good to make a community-designed map, so we could all contribute with ideas and make something great.

Also, what happened to Fissure? And who designed Siege?

I am open to discussion.
