Hey beagle!

Nice map you made there  :)

Some suggestions:

Magenta shows the middle line of the map.

Some points have to be moved IMO.

  • Rearranging the low fuel and mun points in the north (mun fuel mun fuel). Like the mirror counterpart in the south
  • medium mun point on the left side move more to the south and destroy the building next to it (then no mg there)
  • on the other side place the medium mun point in the ruins. Maybe remove some ruins in order to build large outposts there (brits,soviet)
  • sector point and VP in the south of it move to the deleted building (this way every side has the same way to its points)
  • middle medium mun point delete
  • middle medium fuel point move to the VP place. VP can be placed right next to it. South buildings can be deleted to give the suth player the possibility to reach it. In addition the south player needs some green and yellow cover (rubble (green cover), crater (yellow cover) on the street) Currently i think its red cover while the north player has all the way yellow and green cover

EDIT: the sectors points of the sectors, that circle the middle fuel sector, should be moved farther away from the middle. for the south player move the sector point along the street to the left to the road crossing. Same for the opposite side mirror like. This way if you have the middle you can´t easily control your cut off.

Hi all,

In my opinion the map has been completely finished.
So, is it ok if I change the status to "FINISHED"?  ;)

Yes, go right ahead.
Ostheer is a new German faction for this mod.
It will be done when it is done.
Keep mapping and modeling.

Hi Killar,

I suspect you are talking about the wrecked Königstiger (basing on this picture). I like the idea, but there doens´t exist an accordingly map object. And an intact tank would look stupid, because the tank commander is still inside.

I think BB brought up the idea that you can spawn a vehicle on the map and script it to die right at the start. This can probably be used to spawn any vehicle wreck. Not sure if this would create problems with recovering the wreck or not though (berge).
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

No, it would be unrecoverable by any means, no rebuilt vehicle no free muni ^^.

Way better now:

Fuel: 40
Mun: 60



Sector wise the fighting is pushed to the sides if a player is camping in the middle.

I would "clean" up the map too. Pathfinding is nice on roads but not in  between. That leads to mine spamming.

I would also rework the art a bit. Some houses have only the walls left, but the debris and remains of it are gone. Looks too clean and strange somehow. Maybe adding the correct ground texture in the destroyed area?

Dunno if it would lead to lagging though.

I like that design principle though Killar. It makes it seem like there are several lines of defense that you must push up to. This is a good way to make 4v4s more objective based, which are normally just clusterfucks. If you rearrange things a little, please keep the strategic point lines theme.
