Another major improvement would be to open the fences around the left side VP. Armies tend to bunch up around the VP and are vulnerable to flanks. But there are too many fences to get around to flank.

Map available for perusal as:RosboneSalm

Updated for reasons above:
1. Building #1 added for balance.
2. Building #2 changed to barn. Mirrored on North.
3. Barn #3 damaged and un-garrisonable.
4. Old buildings looking over old fuel removed.
5. Fence openings(yellow) changed to allow for better flow.
6. sight blockers (red) adjusted.

Nice work but this map really need change ? This castle with infatry only is very orginal right now and 1vs1 at bottom is something u will not normally see in games 4vs4

The idea for the change in the castle was to reduce the 1v1 feel of the bottom. When you sit in que for 10 minutes to get a 4v4 game, it is very annoying to end up getting a 1v1 game. Now northern team mates can flank down through center of the castle and attack south or pop out the sides and cap fuel. Most games I play, whoever gets stuck at bottom is not happy. When I get stuck down there I sometimes just push mid and never even bother going south.

Another issue is CQC units being OP in the vineyards, south, and castle. Opening it up may give med and long range units a better chance.

The KT fitting in the castle was not planned, it just happens to fit thru the main hallway. Since there is only one way in/out, I am sure the path will be mined all the time.

I actually would like to open large paths from the sides as well and make a cross through the middle. But I thought that would really destroy the feel of the map. If I move the fuel and open the castle, no one will go north anymore. Could open the castle and move fuel north?

I think the key changes are:
1. Removing the norths bridge into the castle. This now opens up the middle a lot.
2. Moving the fuels to somehow be more contested. By moving them closer to the castle we get more play around the castle (the main focus of the map, that never sees any play).
3. Opening the south area and balancing. With the fuels being more south maybe now two teams will actually push south early game, and then push over to the enemies fuel. We may see less early push-the-church strats.

These changes will give teams more options. They are not limited to just boring mortar fights mid and a 1v1 south. If south gets overrun late game, the mid could get flanked through the mid, the castle, and around its side.

There are a couple small nagging QOL changes that could be made. Ignore these if no big items come up to change.

The steep hill inclines around the South Eastern base and the North Western base could be smoothed some more. Especially the south. It is very steep. Once you get pushed into your base there is no coming out because all you will shoot is dirt.
SOUTH EAST



NORTH WEST


There is an ambiguous section that looks like units could pass thru but they cannot. May be cool opened up as it would reduce the head-butting that usually goes on there Or make it more obvious you cant go that way.

In my list of City map issues I omitted: Light vehicle pathing. In order to have good cover you need to block pathing. So most of my suggestions are to improve vehicle pathing/frustration.

1. Could move point back or move debris up to leave room for units to gain GREEN cover without mis-click situations.


2. Could use additional sight blockers on the middle south building to mirror the north. Since this is pointing towards the south base, blockers would also reduce its pinning ability.


3. Could remove or change several objects (X's) to aid in pathing.




4. More vehicle pathing by north base. Could remove the X objects. Reduce size of GREEN cover wall. Move vehicle blocking the exit path.

- Reduce the elevations around the middle map.

There is a map in rotation now that the files are named 8p_WestWall (Vielsalm). Maybe use the ditch configuration as opposed to the hill config in the 1v1 version?

- Increase the HP from the both Vp houses to 20-25% health, so not a single riflende kills it.
- Maybe remove the houses on the cutoff, but replace it with green cover?( or another good solution)

My goto response to buildings these days, add shot blockers on the base side to aid in attacking an enemy garrisoned building. Could increase building HP since it will be easier to attack. YELLOW are sight blockers. GREEN is green cover. RED flanks.
