Nice that you agree with me the Stalingrad point, is nice to have suggestions, the problem is that some players want the same map designs to apply his own strategy in every map. For example, people want to use JLI in every map, if there is a map that JLI is not good, that map is "bad designed" or bad balanced, allied/axis favored and etc. Maps like Stalingrad would amplify the strategies and some commanders might be useful in a niche scenario.

That's what I was thinking, kinda. Just turn the map into something like Caen. Urban but wider streets. The problem like u said about lights only pathways makes microing very hard. In a pitched battle, you don't remember every detail about the map which ways I can use to escape and Stalingrad is the worst map with a million little roads.

You could probably visit his stream while he is working on the map, showcasing the map, maybe cast games on the map. Or you could playtest the map if it comes available in the steam workshop. During that time it is most likely possible to give some constructive criticism.

Yes I know, and I think Tric is a good guy and does his job well, but I HIGHLY doubt he's going to be able to take a very scary can of worms and make it a map worthy of competitive play in 1 go. More likely it just gets better, to about the point of lost glider or arnhem checkpoint, where they're in the map pool, but usually warrant a veto. MAYBE he does a phenominal job, and it ends up as good as faymonville approach, where it's used largely used in competitive but still has major glaring issues.

Then there's the issue of relic actually uploading things very heavy distance wise in terms of time. If theirs a major balance issue on the map that slips by after the map goes into rotation, odds are relic won't implement a patch for at least 6 months if not more.

I'd rather we just stick to ironing out the glaring issues on maps like faymonville and kholodney ferma than trying to throw in more dice.
