We're talking about Semoisky, Kholodny Ferma and Moscow Outskirts, right?

Well, I'd say if they play differently, they are different maps even though they share some characteristics. This might be the case for the Semoisky maps due to the dominant water areas which are frozen in the winter version.

I think the problem is actually another one: At least in case of Kholodny (and Moscow?) the maps are pretty much like their summer versions after removing cold tech and shuffling around the resource/victory points. So, at that point they probably should have removed one version from the automatch pool (Langreskaya (Winter) isn't in their either).

On a related note: Yeah, I know most people disliked cold-tech. And that is a problem if half of the maps in the pool have that annoying feature and your vetos are getting eaten up by those.

However, instead of removing cold-tech and making the winter versions like the summer ones, maybe they could have left in one (easily vetoed) winter map with cold-tech and removed the rest? Or add a "veto-for-all-cold-tech-maps" button?

I made the experience that Rank 14 and 15 for UKF is non existence.
I once won a game as Rank 13 and was 16 after the game. Then I lost one and was 13 again

Yeah, when I checked this morning there were 1558 UKF/1v1 players. For rank 200, the upper table applies (so you get level 16), for rank 201, the lower does (201 translates to better than 87% => level 13).

14 does exist for all other factions in 1v1, though; level 15 only happens in the higher game modes that have more than 4000 players in the ladder.

If anyone has a 1v1 replay where Stug E's (and the entire doctrine) got used effectively, I'd really appreciate it.

Nice update, thanks!
