Having no prior experience in mapping, I decided to fire up the worldbuilder, inspired by several pictures of rural Russia and Finland-




Resulting in this concept-




Updated 22/12


Looking west from the hilltop

Looking east from the island

Central crossroad

Naturally it needs more aesthethic improvements but that comes later.

My main concern is that I started out using the worldbuilding guide recommended size for a 1v1 map (320*320 playable area)- but the map still looks really large when looking at the churches compared to say, Semois. Secondly, the cutoffs are behind the munitions point and near the fuel, so I'm concerned that a player can bunker down on one side of the map with relative ease and still maintain a good income.

Any advice or general comments would be much appreciated:)

You have 9 strat points instead of the advised 10.
Fuel so close to VP's removes tactical choices imo
Regarding size, I used onkelsams 2v2 size and i had to cut it down 32 meters on 2 sides to make it play better.You can push up the bases or make them them in the middle of one side instead of the end.

error message comes up- "Archiver failed! C:\..(directory here)" which means I can't test the map ingame.

Any advice or help solving these problems would be much appreciated, as would general comments :)



BTW exporting a map and having coh2 started doesn't work :) You'll get a archiever failed message. But i assume it's not the reason for your problem, it it?

I will simply lol at anyone expecting such a change to a 2 year old general use infantry.
Equally possible are pershing for USF, IS-3 for soviets or ober nerf for OKW.

There are ten points, but one of the strat point capture zones was coloured over- it's fixed now.
I'll take a look at the VP placement too.
Is there any way to edit the playable area of the map once it's been started?
Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah it wasn't the cause of the problem- turns out I was saving the sga in the wrong place. Thanks anyway!

So you have not changed the playable area in any way? Then I definitely suggest to remove 32 meter from every side. You need to use the interactivity tool, it is the grey button with a dotted circle. Set the stage to 50 and paint the the outskirts of the map. Otherwise you dont have the area where units arrive but cant use any abilities

Thanks, I've done that- feels more compact now.

I also changed the sector layout- any comments on that? I moved most of the points closer to the centre of the map (e.g. the west fuel is now on the island).

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:
