Count me in as well. I cannot wait to start making some CoH2 maps. I was worried that they weren't gunna include anything and rely on DLC map packs.
Any talk about markers, has anyone heard?

Sure. What shall we call it, and can it fit under one of the already existing forum groups?

Ami, it can go under Parlor Room > COH2 Mapping or something.

I'm thinking "Grand Hall" and "Hall of Lights" can simply be combined into "Hall of Lights". "Events" and "Player Fan Pages" could be grouped together. The only future forum planned for that group is a "League" forum. But that's off-topic.
You can imagine the "Parlor Room" as simply a place where people get together to play games and talk about games. It's our version of "general discussion." I don't know if that's the kind of place where people would talk about making things, like maps. Right now all of our "making things" stuff happens in the staff forums, which are called the "Drawing Rooms." There is currently no members-viewable "making things" room, and maybe we need one. Mapping and modding could both fall under this category.

To be honest I didn't even realize the forums were divided up into little rooms. Does it even matter what goes in which room? Can we have a kitchen? The kitchen is where awesome stuff is created by awesome people, so that sounds like a great place for mappers and modders.

Can't wait to see what you guys produce!
I remember map making in Age of Empires used to just create massive battles. CoH requires so much more thought though, with buildings, cover and resource points all playing major factors. Got a lot of respect for the quality map makers. Takes so much time.
Although I'm not so good at making stuff would be more than happy to give you guys a good in gameplay testing maps!

Hey Stephenn. Having testers is really important to achieve good balance. I will most likely take you up on your offer. I like your stream by the way

I like the way you guys are thinking now. But remember, we have commandeered a provincial palace as our base of operations. So it has to be a room in the palace

Yes, I agree with the Kitchen and all but.
Where do we store the vodka?

Speaking of which, I was wondering if anyone wanted to remake the vCoH maps into CoH2 maps.
With permission from the makers, of course

It would be nice if vCOH maps could be exported and remade , But i doubt that would be possible ...

getting the basic map looks over should not be much of a problem... getting the sector layout etc. over might become a problem, since the way resources work or sectors are capped have changed. also, just because the maps were balanced in CoH, does not mean they are balanced in CoH2.

Imagine Semois in winter-time... frozen rivers, fields with deep snow, True Sight in the middle... building camp-fires behind the buildings before a blizzard arrives, while trying to prevent your opponent from doing the same. 
But I'm sure there will already be at least one map that plays like that

Hahaha I would actually play Semois if it were like that

It may look like Semois, but it'll play entirely different, even without snow I'm sure it'll feel different somehow.
Just like the Quake 2 maps rebuilt to Quake 3.. it just doesn't work like that.

I don't think Semois as a direct port would play well.
If Semois were to be re-made for CoH2, it would likely be more of a re-imagining. Keep in mind, even the town layout would be affected. Russian villages are generally small clusters of buildings surrounded by fields, not really straight streets.

Speaking of which, what are the plans for more built up maps? I mean I heard talk that there would be urban fighting at some point (I'm assuming this wont be exclusive to the campaign). Personally I'm all for creating a whole load of new maps rather than just focusing on recreating the ones we already have.
And secondly, if the forums were laid out like a commandeered stately home I'm assuming it would have large garden an and therefore a conservatory o green house. That's where I'd lay out any cartographic base. Food would be prepared in the kitchen...

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.

Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.
