Show more new maps on dashboard
Currently the dashboard shows the two most recently added maps. With the amount of maps which are created lately, that means some new maps will be in the spotlight for a very short period.
By simply placing the name of the map and its creator below the thumbnail (which only takes about 20 vertical pixels), there'd easily be room to showcase the four or maybe even five most recent maps.
A related suggestion (for which zing103 deserves the credit) would be to use one or two of the new slots to showcase a random map, either on daily rotation or on every refresh. Either way, it would be great if a weighted random function could be used which prefers maps which have not yet received enough ratings.
Additional discussion (and mock-up screenshots) can be found on the forum: http://warlight.net/Forum/Thread.aspx?ThreadID=3498

A great idea. Although, I'd prefer a map of the day myself, to get a random map, one can just go to home-->maps and scroll randomly.
