Thought I'd come up with a term to describe this sort of maps. Basically what makes them exciting is that the conventional
grab & escape = cap rule doesn't apply (examples: Laos, Run, Viet, Voland), since grabbing is only the unbalancing factor and there's a high chance that the EFC won't make it (examples: Cobra, Ash to some extent, Nuubia).
I'd say cobra is the best example though: grab the flag, escape low, get killed, try again (unless you have good teamwork
). When flags aren't in their bases, the game is much more exciting, isn't it?
This said, I think we need more Flagen-styled maps! For example:
