Good point, maps are another thing players should discuss beforehand, namely whether to use a computer-generated map or import a ready-made one.
Comp-gen ones might favour one side, but imported ones are tweaked to favour nobody by re-positioning flags, adding a road or two, etc.
AND more importantly both players can see imported ones before the start and decide whether to go with them.
The mirror will be played on the very same imported of course.
Personally I don't mind either type, in fact I think I prefer comp-gens because they're fresh, pure and natural, untweaked and not prettied up by human hand, even if they might not favour me.
But playing on a map that hates me just adds an extra challenge..:)
As for abandoning a game as soon as you receive the first file because you don't like the comp-gen map, I don't think anybody's ever wanted to do that with me, they usually just say "uh-oh, the map favours you but we'll carry on".
Likewise, I've never asked to abandon because I've not liked a map, we just carry on..:)
