The interface is devided into three parts: ¶

1. selection list (on the top) ¶
1. list of maps and directories (bottom left) ¶
1. description of map/directory currently selected (bottom right) ¶

Possible selections: ¶

* Official - will show only maps from Widelands itself ¶
* Unbalanced - will narrow the list to the maps that are marked as *unbalanced* (not equal positions) ¶

* Artifacts - will narrow the list to the maps that allow you to play *Artifacts* win condition (you can spot some artifacts on the map) ¶
* Scenario - will narrow the list to the maps that are scenarios (specially prepared stories and sometimes it can be hard to win) ¶

* 1v1 - will show maps that are marked as combat 1 player against another ¶
* Teams of 2 / 3 / 4 - will show maps where *suggested teams* contains 2 / 3 / 4 players in a team ¶

List of maps is sorted by number of players on the map and (if the number is equal) the name of the map. Before maps you can see list of directories (sorted by names). The list contains both official Widelands pack of maps and unofficial downloaded ([and stored in right place](/wiki/Technical%20FAQ/#where-are-my-maps-and-savegames-stored)) and created in [Editor](/wiki/EditorHelp/) maps. Note that downloading from [Widelands homepage](/maps/) **are not** official. ¶
