Why not make a real fortress mode for a couple of maps or all maps and not one because its boring.

We are not talking about a myth here, there's a real fortress mode, for Angoville Challenge.

We have a lot of things to be finished/implemented, but most of the devs and mappers are busy with RL so, no more maps for fortress mode atm meaning you will be bored for a while.

But you should play some PvP, after all, Eastern Front's main focus are PvP games and this is only extra stuff that someone makes when he's bored.

You could always replay the campaign if ur bored. :D Sometimes I do that b/c I thoght a mission was fun :P

Fortress mode is more of a mini game. Like when you finsh playing a good game and then you go to the menu and click the "extras" button and suddenly your like "Wow! This mini game is so fun! I wish there was more and it was expanded!" But that usually doesn't happen. At least here the devs actually respond to you :P

Fortress isn't a priorty (like stated b4 me many times) but they(devs) will eventually get to it. Just be patient ;). Beside would you rather have fortress or OSTHEER!!!!! ;D ;D. I think the choice is obvious :P

Beaux Lowlands could be nice, its atmosphere is suited perfectly and also the map layout supports the idea of Fortress Mode.

wow. really? first of all its obviously NOT boring since you have overplayed it so much that you want a new map for it, secondly this is not fortress mode mod, its eastern front mod. other than that i actually like the idea of having more maps for fortress mode. but complaining about it on the FAQ and now here? cmon. when you want to make a suggestion to people that spend hours trying to please others by creating EF for free, be courteous. its not their job to do this, so stop acting like it.

I thought a reverse fortress mode would be cool on Kursk, you'd have a limit amount of resources to build up vehicles to go through 3 lines of defense.

What about Egeltons (IDK if I spelled that right). It has a city and a hill to defend ;D

I think first angoville fortress mode needs to get fixed so you don't need to use markers anymore (use World_Pos() instead).
