hi maxi,

nice that you have updated your map. the first impressions are really good. if you agree i will help you to optimize the sector layout and maybe some performance issues. keep up the good work.

mapping is hell, i know.

my tip: for further maps try to create the sector layout before you do anything else. it`s a lot of easier.

Hi EF-Fans,

today I want to show you my new project for the EF-Mod. Because of a lack of time I decided to create a 4 player version of my map `Karachev`- ready for beta testing now.

I am sure, the final version of this map will be out soon. Have fun while testing.

Here are the facts:
Map size: 576x576
Playable area: 320x320
Munitions: 5/5/5/5/10/10/10/10/10 = 70
Fuel: 5/5/5/5/10/10 = 40
Manpower: 12
VP: 3

Screens:

And here is the download link: Download Karachev (4) Beta 1.0

Criticism is always welcome.

After some more tests the ressources were changed again. Enclosed you will have an overview about the new tactical map. Some minor changes, like a wood fence instead of a stone wall rhs and less hedges on the lhs side are included too.

Have fun with the final version. (Version 1.7)

Link in the first post is changed.

After lots of games we decided the maps needs some minor changes. We have made an internal beta and now the map is ready for another open beta. Current version is 1.5.

The changes are:
Replaced the +10 fuel rhs with a +16 fuel.
We delete some hedgerows in the middle of the map to make it easier to attack with at guns.
Opened the gates at the fuel lhs a little bit more, to make it a harder to wire directly.

If you want to play the new beta instead of the actual version you should download the map and save the sga file here: Company of Heroes folder/Eastern_Front/Archives. Then you have to change the Eastern_Front Module File, which you can find in the Company of Heroes folder too. Insert and change the following lines:

archive.03 = Eastern_Front\Archives\2p_karachev_beta_1_5
//archive.03 = Eastern_Front\Archives\2p_karachev

By changing the "//" you can change between the different versions.

And here is the download link: Download Beta 1.5

Mapping / [FINAL] Kotelnikovo (4)

« on: September 01, 2011, 08:37:02 PM »

Hi all,

Today I want to show you the big brother of “Kotelnikovo”. If you know the 1v1 version of my map, you will find at home fast. This is the 4 player version that I have made for the GR-Map Contest (old name Martainville) last year and my mates told me to post this map here.

For the ef-mod I have replaced the loading screen (the old one was ugly). The resources and the sector layout are the same like the last years version.

Map Info
Map size :576 x 576
Playable area :320 x 320

Players : 4 (2 vs 2)
Strategic Points : 4
Munitions : 70 (10+10+10+10+5+5+5+5+5+5)
Fuel : 35 (10+10+5+5+5)
Victory Points : 3

You can download the map here: Download Final 1.1

I call this map final but further updates may come.

Feel free to test the map. Criticism is always welcome.

If you want some screens look in the mapping-contest threat: Pictures

HQ will be moved in the next version

I delete my ai-markers and used the same like maxi in his map. Played some games against the ai and it was terrible for me

Seems ok now.

Will update the map this weekend.

Thank you for your comments. I like rural maps, so I used this style again. It was very important for me, to make a very balanced map and no race has big advantages against the other.

Today I played some games against my mate to optimize the gameplay - but it is a long way. Here are some points that I will change in the next version:

The atmosphere properties - sunlight colour and intensity will not be so dark anymore.
Cover - I change the "green" cover to "yellow" cover between the two houses right hand side.
Retreat path in the north - units will not longer retreat only on red cover.

The full changelog will be posted in the next version.

btw: in the past I have made some other maps like

2v2 Martainville (big brother from Kotelnikovo same style like here) Martainville Download
2v2 Restricted Area (other style) Restricted Area Download

Follow the link and you can see the pictures.

Maybe I will rework Restricted Area in the future.

Now I am waiting for your replays.

13.09.2011
Final version is out (1.7).
03.09.2011
New beta is ready for testing.
17.08.2011
After the last games I have made, I declare the last Beta 1.3 as final version.

Karachev was occupied by the German Wehrmacht on 6 October 1941. The city was reconquered by the troops of the Bryansk Front the Red Army in the “Operation Oryol” on 15 August 1943. The city was completely destroyed during the fights.

Welcome to the Open Beta of Karachev. The map was designed for the Eastern-Front-Mod and I hope you and the developers like it. The map reached the beta stage and is now ready for the final balance testing. I played the map only against the ai right now, but it feels good at the moment.

Here are the resources:
Munitions: 16/16/10/10/10/10 = 72
Fuel: 10/10/5/5/5/5 = 40
Manpower: 7
VP: 3

I am always interested in beta replays against human players. Please post your replays here or send me the link by pm. You can also add me to you friend list for some beta games: Relic online profile: Sylver
