Guys!!
Thank you so much! The warm response has been really touching. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I love this! Much like my TToH but even better
Great job guys I am looking forward to more ^^
Certainly a great source of inspiration and a model to follow, mèntore.
Very well-written article! I love the last part, about how accurate the in game map is to the real locations. Never knew the maps were so accurately modeled. Now, the question is - are there any more maps relic made that are accurate too?
Can't wait for more ![:) :)](/images/Smileys/smile.gif)
Thank you! Yes, it was certainly an eye raising moment for me as well when firing up the google machine and playing around, seeing the town I was a bit taken aback how similar the shape was haha.
Now that I think about it, I seem to recall a Relic dev diary for vCoH outlining how they made Angoville by comparing satellite and street photography as well as blending in historical images. They chose Angoville 'cos of the wealth of material they had available. I think in attitude that also speaks to the developers love of history and the love of the investigation process which has also helped fuel development. It most certainly isn't just a game to them, but a representation of a time period and human history, and to represent it in a way they feel is charitable I think means a lot to the developers. I know we get lost in balance arguments and bugs and things, but I hope a feature like this also spotlights the love and the talent that gets poured into the creation and the detail in the game.
If you have any suggestions for a map that you would like me to investigate, RealName, I would be more than receptive to hearing them.
Great job mate, thanks
I'm glad you enjoyed it, and hope we can provide a similar quality of features in the future. Welcome to COH2.org
