There are some countries I enjoy playing and some I don't. And I seem to really like the ones that EVERYONE else likes. That wouldn't be a problem except now we can't create anything besides the very limited 1990 map. Everything else is the autogen, which creates a new one when the old one fills up.
The problem with that is there are countries that most people have no interest in playing. It seems that every time I have tried to join a game in the last two weeks on the 60 player map, there are between 4 and 10 slots left, and they are always the same crop of countries that nobody wants. Belarus, Cameroon, Chad, Kenya, Chile, Namibia, Nigeria...etc. So i dump out of it and wait to see if a new match starts, and hour goes by, I go off do something else, come back 3 hours later, still the same games with 4-10 spots waiting, then I give up for that day, and the next day a new game with the same 10 or so countries waiting on someone to suffer through.
I feel we have gotten to the point with the combination of 60 player maps and not being able to start our own matches on anything but the 1990, the "popular" countries get snatched up in minutes of a new game launching (which seems to be at random), leaving other players to either play a match that they just aren't into, and so they drop after a few days, or not playing at all.
Is it possible that we will ever get launching games ourselves back? Maybe even just for premium members? Or how about purging the bottom 10 countries in popularity. Or after a game reaches 45 players a new one starts? Please there has to be something to stope the endless parade of "island of misfit countries".

Jacopo: Why not just kill them? I'll do it! I'll run up to Paris - bam, bam, bam, bam. I'm back before week's end. We spend the treasure. How is this a bad plan?
Remember that no one ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb idiot die for his country.
