This is my first map named Canyon Village. The map is rather strategic due to the small island in the middle of the map and.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Questions? Ask them here, I will keep an eye on it.

Great update has been released with the following (See comparison screenshots as well)

Code

Changelog update 1.5:

- Fixed multiple pathfinding routes, entering/exiting church works fine now.
- Removed telephone poles.
- Updated Description.
- Added new environmentals.

Changelog update 1.4:

- Changed capturezones of Victory Points at spawn
- Moved and changed startpositions to fit American positions better. Some spawns are with American army not full in territory, this will not be permantly fixed since the map would need a full rebuild.
- Increased Popcap to 200

Changelog update 1.3:

- Fixed typing errors
- Moved spawns so English/American armies are more within the territory.

Changelog update 1.2:

New Features:

- Added car garage (player side 1-4) to balance the big capturefield of the farm
- Added victory Points

Fixes:

- Changed capturezone farmland

- Expanded river
- Added more road in the town, also added paths to houses
- Added more road outside the town and made road connection to town better

- Removed bridged and replaced them with land to avoid being stuck on the island (Broken bridges confuse the AI in this build of CoH2)
- Added Culverts on both sides of water for extra realism (where the bridge usedd to be)
- Added more detail to the small park in front of the church, also added more path
- Units now spawn outside of the playable area. Depending on which position the player is in, the units will come from 1 of the 4 roads.

Don't create to steep cliffs. Textures get distorted and don't look good.

Judging from the screenshots it looks much improved visually, well done! PS: Could you maybe host the images with a different provider? The screenshots took about 3 minutes to load, which reminds me of my 56K days :)

Holy shit, if you were always in love with hallways but had no way of expressing it, this will make that neuronic passion a digital reality. No words. Clusterlick.

There is so much strategy in these bridges. What was your inspiration? Perfect execution.

Milewidehigh, thanks for your great feedback:) I decided that I wanted my first map to be a line fighting map, one way in one way out. I wanted to have a chokepoint in the middle that would be a decisive fight.

At first I wanted to realise this by making a small but long map (inspired by the CoH1 map "the front") with my own twist. To make the chokepoint, I decided to make 2 bridges which were breakable.

After doing a lot of testing and development (this is my first CoH map ever!) I came to the conclusion that the map needed a lot of extra fixes, including the removal of the brdiges due to an unstable AI in Coh2. The AI is only being confused when they cannot reach the enemy and they do not repair the bridge by themselves like they used to in CoH1.

Hope this answers your questions, any feedback of other players is appreciated. Also, I think it would be great if a lot of people would reconsider checking this map (and the comparison screenshots from V1.0 to V1.1) and give it another chance, because I've learned a lot of map making since V1.0. I guess I released it too early which gave a lot of people the idea not to care to check it out or test it since it was not close enough to the "regular standard".

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes
01 Apr 2025, 02:36 AM
Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific. :snfQuinn:.
