(4 - 6) Lionskaya
Lyon for Company of Heroes 2 the new six player release!


I have come to love Lyon in vCoH. Many players remember this as a campfest and an axis favored one. In my many dozens of hours on this map have come to the conclusion that it is in fact diverse and full of opportunity for all four vCoH factions.

I always wanted this map to reappear in vCoH's sequel, Company of Heroes 2. Since this has not been done yet, I decided to give it a try.

Oooh the map is fun :D. Was serching for new comp stomp maps for me and my friends.

Non-destroyable bridge in the middle is awesome and so important because AI won't repair bridges.

Interesting way of creating some kind of hybrid environment between spring and winter.

Just noticed that my P4s could not get over the middle bridge. They got stuck. It may be the strategy point or maybe some rubble. I don't know.

Also, I made a savegame on your 0.7.0 build.

Put the savegame in "Documents\My Games\company of heroes 2\Savegames\Skirmish\"

Thank you for this constructive bug report. I missed that one...

I am not home over the weekend, but a next Version should come by Tuesday! If you encounter further issues, please let me know.

i suggest you to add more crossing oppurnity, for infatry for example, if the river is frozen. So we dont have to cross only in the bridge.
And you should put the fuels,ammo to the middle, so we wont shit tanks in every 2 minutes.

Then it could be maybe a competitive map for Relic map contest "tourney" or it will be the map for comp stomp, and will be forgetten very fast.

But seriously. I have cut two thirds of the amount of resource points the original had and moved the points much closer to the river. Why not be flexible about the different approaches to this game? ;)

No worries, even though I am carefully rebalancing this map, the original's basic layout will remain untouched.

Please have a look at the original Lyon before discussing this further. B-)

You know what? Your point is valid.

Let me explain this futher: by making a Lyon remap I wanted to recapture the feeling of the original. Let's not forget about it being one of the custom 2v2 favorites. (Similar to Achelous Rivers and Vire River Valley, this one was not in automap and noone cared.) Therefore I will first complete the map as a true remake of Company of Heroes' Lyon.

Once I am done and satisfied with that, however, I will start to change the map to your suggestions and make it more automatch compatible. This is the least important step on my priority list, because I am free to create what I enjoy myself. If there is a certain desire for a modified version of Lionskaya, it will be released. Yet, do not expect it to come out before the current remake reaches its final state.:)

Hope this makes my intentions clearer.

Your contribution is appreciated. If you have any more thoughts about the map, feel free to post them here.

Thanks, though I might get some of the trees in the "colder area" to loose their leaves :)

Great map, had funny game on it, thanks, just a minor thing..units come from black area and that doesnt look nice also the edges of the map would look better if there will be some unnaccessable area (as you can see on relic maps) anyway thanks for it and keep working on it, its very nice

Indeed, this is a brilliant map for a comp stomp, and since I dont play online, its perfect, 10/10 from me

- Capture points should be at least 20 or 22 in diameter.

- Minimap done by photoshop (if you have time).

Amazing work mate but like you said in one of your posts, you reduce the amount of resource points and my suggestion is to increment them slightly.
Map looks balanced with enough areas to build base elements and create a proper army. I did't get any vehicle stuck and not see any major problem, only the one targeted by Lund066
Right know Im doing an comp-stomp with the AI and the only (incoming)resource that is really low is manpower.
Anyways I will try it with my brother this weekend 2P vs 2AI and I will let you know our impressions(always constructive feedback)
Excellent work, maybe my favourite map in COH.
Keep the good work.
King regards,
Peter
