On Oosterbeek the AI should perform properly (it did when I tested the map), on Arnhem I can comfirm
this issue. It's not my mistake, this is because of problems the AI has with pathfinding.
Two tips, which should improve the AI:
1. two free slots around resource points
2. some free space around the HQ

Something like this was already in my mind, thanks for the hints, I will fix it as soon as I can access my computer again.

Sorry for the missing number of updates, but this week I am working to earn a little amount of money :P

Next week you will see more, featuring Vierville Paradrop, Chambois and Carentan. I'm not only uploading the maps, I am completely redoing them because my conversions from more than a year ago weren't quite balanced. What's also coming: Updated versions of the two previously released maps, featuring a (hopefully) improved AI. See you then  ;)

I would love to see an Arnhem map with the huge bridge separating the to sides. ;D I know this would need to be an independent project but still.....
Ostheer is a new German faction for this mod.
It will be done when it is done.
Keep mapping and modeling.

The bridge is far to high for the camera to display the whole range of units. I even thought about deleting it from the map because it blocks some nices passages to/from the Allied base, but left it because of historical correctness and because it belongs to that map. Now there is one map entry point on the bridge (remember the Allied units coming from there?).
Today I'll continue with Vierville:



What do you think about it?

Great. I wonder, if you're going to make the water passable, so it won't be just another bridge map?

Don't tell me, you haven't seen the maps with passable water. It would mean you've never played the first CoH campaign.

Yeah, i am fully aware that shallow water is passable, but i don't know how you intend to make the Carentan water passable. It's effectively blocked by the terrain.

Simple - just rise the bottom with leveling tool.
