Talinn Outskirts (2) BETA
« on: March 07, 2011, 04:31:02 AM »
I'm glad to present my 2nd attempt to create competitive and playable map for EF.

Talinn Outskirts - in september 1941 german forces of Army North were approaching Tallinn ( capital of Estonia). This battle takes place in suburbs of Tallinn, where Germans faced first resistance.



As far as you can see map is in it's very beggining. I planned to creat map with many flanking possiblities, and a lot of free space in the middle.

Looks good man, keep it up.

HQ's look a little too near each other though. I would reposition them more to the north-eastern and south-western corners. Although, the northern HQ point is alright, maybe have the southern HQ more to the left (nearer the other road. Could also probably move the map entry point there too)

Oh, and to keep things compact, the map name could just be 'Tallinn Outskirts'. Tallinn has two N's in the Romanisation for some reason, even though in Russian it has only one N 'Та́ллин'. Probably because the Russians understand that adding an extra N on the end of something that already ends in an N does nothing to alter its pronunciation other than drag on the NNNN for another tenth of a second. /minirant

Ok, thanks for grammar advices  :P
About HQs: I actually planned them to be locadet in this way. Players can try fast attack through the town, however it will be easy to defend there ( narrow streets, many good positions for defenders, garrnisonable buildings). And of course resources will be lower there.
The main battle is supposed to take place in the middle. I've already finished this part ( I have a lot of free time today XD ) - this is going to be large meadow without good cover.... at least somebody get interested with small ruined building...
This small factory is going to be tough one. I'm going to put there 10, maybe 16 fuel point. Looks unfair from south HQ point of view? Well maybe, but this area will be really easy to cut off.

this is ruined house I was writing about. Around it there is no more green cover, what makes this house very useful thing. Also infantry hidden there can cover nearby street ( red cover), munitions point and VP.
