List of bad maps to remove

Let's get a list of terribad maps nobody plays that can be removed to help file size. Now that some of us are working on maps, especially.
Suggestions:
(6p) Swamps of Slaughter
(6p) Skull Masha Brackens
(4p) Rock of Waaagh
(4p) Maiden Forums
Some maps are not played often but are still well put together (like Return to Golgotha) and they should probably stay for those that like them.
Thoughts?

I think Skull Masha Brackens is a nice map.Swamps of Slaughter is a very bad map and should be removed.

River isn't that bad of a map.
It's not too small imo.

The version Angry Bird made replaced the default Armageddon.

Agree with all except Rokk of Waaagh.
Has so much potential, it's just too big. If someone could scale it down to say desert showdown size it would be a good map

apparently has pathing issues as well. i don't like the middle either way because it's so windy and narrow.

I like Maiden forums, is it fixable? I presume the reason people dont like it is the location of the victory point in the top Left corner and the power in the bottom right. Can they be moved? the nearby points would need to be moved a little too.

I just think Maiden Forums looks butt-ugly. A chaotic mish-mash of asset themes, too much weather just for the sake of it and questionable point placement.

What's the status on this list? Any consensus?

Seems like Swamps of Slaughter and Rock of Waagh don't have any fans here. A few standing up for the others, but I still never see them played.

So what if we removed:
(4p) Maiden Forums
(4p) Rokk of Waaagh
(6p) Skull Masha Brackens
(6p) Swamps of Slaughter
And what of these?
(2p) Sector 95
(2p) Small White Walls
(4p) Gorkamorka Boondox
And what of the FFA maps, are they just useless baggage?

Remove:
(2p) Catachan Lowlands
(2P) High Risks
(2p) Tallarn Ravine

^I agree with all of the above and yeah, nobody plays FFA anyway, maybe only catachans lowlands could stay it was decent if it's the map i have in mind.
edit: nvm about catachans lowlands, i've confused it with catachans fortress which is an ok map, but lowlands just sucks.

What's up with Tallarn?
Never heard of Abadonia, sure that's not a MoW map?

Yes plz remove all these maps. FFA maps are useless.
Except Rock of Waaagh. It's a great design just way too big. If someone could scale it down to desert showdown size it would be very popular as it looks stunning imo.

Because you installed it separately? It's not on our changelog, I re-checked if it exists on my drive (nope), and all Elite installations are packaged from my folder so nuh uh.

Well if the current version is useless we will remove it and put it back later if somebody fixes the map.

Just a curiosity, does the reskins of maps take as much space as real maps? Because in that case get rid of the reskins and let the variety stay in there.

Iirc they take as much space as the normal versions, because the reskins are maps of their own.
Though I like some of the reskinned maps, but I think we don't need 2 or 3 reskins for 1 map. I'd say someone should make a poll and ask which reskinned version should stay in the mod.

Well considering how generally we play 15 or so maps and have been doing so for years..reskins are hugely welcome for variety to the game. Keep them all.

i'd prefer new maps but even just the pallet change helps a lot.
