It seems that the main strategy for the Triad variant is to join forces with one opponent against the other, but it's about equal in terms of every color winning about equally often.  I also checked and it's spelled correctly, and has the same time control that I suggested.

Hi acgusta2,

Thank you. I will look at these links.

Hi all,

To the main server I added: (again) Black Raven (rated game)

(again) pawn vs. power (casual)

(again) Check loop (casual)

(again) Close Combat (casual)

ClergyMen (rated)

Behind friendly lines (casual)

Shoeless Mountain (casual)

Please check your maps (listed above) to make sure the names and descriptions are correct. Check for misspellings and check that the time controls and promotion ranks are correctly listed. Also please play your maps and look for ways to improve. 

Several of these newly added maps have disappeared from the main server. So, please check and see if your maps are there. Thank you

(i think I might have seen this somewhere but i am not sure, if this is already a thing, ignore this but if it isn't, call it  "Team Separation")

Hello alnov2018,

Your comment will be removed because it does not belong in this Custom Games submission thread. The thread to discuss balancing the king safety map is at this link:

thank you

Hello EnterGame, and acgusta2

Regarding: "Island Battles" and "Team Separation"

There have been issues where maps on the main server Custom Games list have been disappearing. And several players have posted complaints/expressed frustration. Spacebar sent me a message when I was online, several hours ago, saying there may be an update on Tuesday. So, I will wait until then because the list seems fairly stable right now.

There is a bug that needs to be sorted out, but perhaps Spacebar could also add some sort of "User ID" log to the "Delete Confirmation" screen, just in case someone is deleting/removing custom maps.

Thank you for your patience

ok
