Allow map creators to better analyze their map
Currently map creators have to personally and manually analyze connection numbers, total territory bonus weighting, graph centrality and isolation, along with a slew of other bits that go into making a GOOD map. If the warlight map creator allowed the map creator to download a Graph Description Language (or DOT) file, or a Graph Modeling Language (GML) file that described their graph's connections, may open source tools could be used to help the map designer fix unbalanced maps.

This obviously would need to be a file that is only accessible to the map developer, otherwise it could be seen as unfairly advantageous strategy planning for players of the map if only one knew how to use these tools.
This idea would greatly improve the quality of gameplay on many maps. If you need help coding this, let me know, I'm happy to help.

Hello!
Warzone just launched the Features Request Forum, which is replacing the old UserVoice forum! This offers a lot of improvements over UserVoice, such as the ability to see who is voting for each item and expiring votes from inactive players.
If you still care about this UserVoice item, please put your votes into it on the new Feature Request Forum at https://www.warzone.com/Forum/f12-Feature-Requests
