Profile of Rosbone

Another easy to fix item (not super important) is the paths in the forrests have messed up sight blocker paths. The objects drawn on the screen look fine, but when you look at the actual boxes used to calculate sight you can see there is some overlap where you have no sight right in front of you.

The group on the left has boxes that overlap and block sight. The group on the right have an open and clear sight line through the path.


Fights do not normally occur in these locations. But while you have the worldbuilder open you can fix them in a matter of minutes.

ROSBONESALM Version 4.0

This map has three SNOW effects that slow rendering performance:
1. Falling Snow.
2. Large Whispy / Fog.
3. Small whisps close to ground.

- All of the Large Whispy Fog items were removed (2). They appear to be the worst offenders. In the original shots below you can see the landscape is covered in large round clouds floating above the ground.
- Falling snow density was changed from 30% to 5%.

ALL MINES HAVE BEEN REMOVED.

MODIFED



3. Before / After Map Points
- Early modified version had fuels moved to center North / South. Fuels are now located closer to the old VP positions. Teams will now fight for the fuels in those areas. Fuels are closer to mid and fuel cutoffs have been added to draw even more attention to mid.
- Munitions moved to center North/South to draw play to center.
- VPs were moved to the far corners to draw play to those rarely seen areas.
- Removed the East repair station point. Replaced with mirroring Hospital point.
- Removed the extra territory point in the south west. South had 6, North had 5.

MODIFIED


4. Terrain Cover was slightly modified.


5. Modified MiniMap

You would expect they push out a texture and eventually alpha blend it away after say 30-50 meters.

The wisps actually start well before the marker and float way past the marker.

Final mod ideas to Rosbone Assault

1. Bottom Before / After. Building right of VP is approx center. If East loses the battle they have NOTHING to fight back into and they are farther away from the battle.
Castle opening in south reduced to allow infantry only



2. Additional passage opened on east side of castle.


3. Inside castle area opened up to allow better battles. With fuels closer to the castle, there may be reason to actually take the castle and fill it with mortars (as the loading screen implies). There is a lot of room for brit mortars/bofors/OST bunkers etc. Brit mortar and bofors fit tightly in original version. There is now reason to utilize areas of the castle never before used to mortar into mid and south fighting positions.



4. Large beautiful crevice/canyon/gorge in front of castle removed to open the area for fighting. This should reduce the neck down MG-mortar battles in mid every game. As stated above, may also involve the castle now. Before units had to pass down the long narrow bridge giving the enemy a chance to adjust. Now the flank will be much faster.



5. Territory Before/After. Notice original map is missing a territory point on east side. New map also has south east base moved closer to middle of map for balance.

I guess NorthWest gets green cover early game and the SouthEast gets the "Get out of Jail" free card when your vehicles are weak retreat over the mound so they cant be killed. As witnessed in the GCS2 play this weekend

Fair enough.
