[Final] Lemberg (4)

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

Ok, I take the poll as an answer an make Lemberg a 2v2 map. It's done so far, I only need to add destruction and defensives and as I said free some room for additional starting positions. The map will go in internal beta testing, if I get the go ahead by my testers, I will release the map for public use and hopefully for its possible inclusion into EF.

You'll also see Progress update no. 3 in some minutes

Here is a little picture I created to sketch my progress:

Sweet! How did you make that slideshow, man?

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

I used a little tool called 'GiftedMotion'. Selected the 11 progress pics and set the time every picture stays to one second. Taddaahhh 

[pariah]

Cool. Is that with Photoshop?

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

No. it's just GiftedMotion. Google it

I wish I could make maps this quick with such great detail. 

Anyways, great job! The map looks great! 

P.S. I notice that there is a small Orange-brown colored splat you use, that you have put under some trees, wicker baskets, etc. What splat is this?

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

These textures you mean are auto-placed when you place the objects. It may be that on my map they seem a little clearer to see because of the atmosphere setting.

And Goober - you have a new PM

So guys, there are some news for you. After days of intensive testing, I am proud to announce that Lemberg (4) has reached its final stage of development.
Here is some eye candy for you, I hope it will motivate you to download my map, try it out and give some feedback. I'd be very pleased if my map will become a part of the mod, so guys, promote it, please!

Added download link and picures to the first page.


Edit: A great THANK YOU goes out to my beta testing team; Cranialwizard, Goober and cephalos!

I am going to LOVE playing on this map... Spectacular work, mate!

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

Thank you

Just been staring intently at the Tactical Map, and i noticed that your Strategic Points aren't in very strategic locations. Might want to look into that.

That aside, it really is a fantastic map. Really.

[Goober]

Great map!

If you take a closer look, you will see that they are indeed in strategical locations. For example both strategical sectors at the bottom and top of the map are very good cutpoints (those including the railraods). If you take one of them, the whole ressource income from the other side of the map gets stuck, if you aren't connected elsewhere with it.

+1 Maxi is right. Those railroad points can be pain when not secured properly.
I've also noticed that retaking 2-3 points can totally cut off a lot of sectors. This promotes smart gameplay.

A very well balanced and detailed map! You never fail my expectations maxi
