How the Map Vote Works
On Asgard, the players pick the next map. Every wipe starts on a map that won a vote in our Discord, and the four choices on that vote are generated fresh each time, so you aren't learning the same layout wipe after wipe.
How the vote runs
About a day before each wipe, four freshly generated small maps are posted in the #map-vote channel in Discord. Each one gets a number from 1 to 4. You vote by reacting with the number of the map you want, and the map with the most votes becomes the next map.
Map wipes happen on Monday and Friday at 6 PM Eastern, which is 3 PM Pacific. That means a new vote goes up roughly the day before each one, so it's worth checking #map-vote whenever a wipe is close. The force wipe is on the first Thursday of the month at 2 PM Eastern. The Friday right after it is skipped, so the force-wipe map stays up until Monday.
How to get into the vote
The #map-vote channel opens once you have the Verified role in Discord. You get that role by linking your Steam account to your Discord account on asgardrust.gg, which also unlocks the free Discord kit in game. Once that's done, type /discord in game to collect the kit, and the vote channel will be there the next time you open the Discord.
How the maps are made
Every map on Asgard is procedurally generated and comes out as a one grid map. Because the map is so small, you'll run into other players fast, so plan to get a base down in the first ten minutes. Whatever the generator produces, each map then gets the same set of additions from us:
- Custom monuments of our own, added to the generated map.
- Launch Site on its own island, away from the rest of the map.
- A sky spawn platform, which is on every map.
The Outpost
Every map also has the Outpost, our own safe-zone town. It has a market with 9 shops, a drone terminal and a casino with the wheel, blackjack, poker, pool and slots. There's a workshop with 2 recyclers, repair and research, a tier 2 workbench, a mixing table and a refinery. You'll also find stables with free horses and a helipad, and nobody is allowed to build near the Outpost.
Type /outpost to teleport there from anywhere on the map, and /bandit and /fishing take you there as well. Teleports don't work while you're raid blocked, which lasts 5 minutes after explosives hit your base or you blow into one. The same goes for combat block, which lasts 1 minute after a fight.
If you aren't verified yet, go to asgardrust.gg, link your Steam and Discord, then watch #map-vote in the Discord the day before the next wipe.
