Map Balancing
« on: January 24, 2010, 11:24:35 PM »
I have some thoughts on the EF maps. Dont get me wrong, they are great to look at and nice to play

BUT....

There are so little ammo points in the maps that it is hard to play as Wehrmacht or PE. Upgrading weapons cost ammo, but in several big EF maps *(8 player) there are 4 or 5 ammo points. 3 are located in the middle and uncappable when there is a russianspam of constrict/officers/engys coming yourway.

My thoughts, edit the map so Germans can have some ammo in order to controle the conscript mobs.

Anyone else got the same problem?

EF maps have almost nothing. Even capping on maps like Sevastpol, Kursk, or Stalingrad doesn't do much.

By increasing the ammo and/or fuel though, you run the risk of Soviet blobs overrunning your DFPs early on and going for upgraded blobs and tanks. And if you were to stack one side with all the resources, you'd be at the mercy of random start location.

It's a trade-off, but we'll see more maps (like Stalingrad) having more resources added.
