Thread: Spring Update - Port of Hamburg22 Apr 2018, 06:41 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2018, 16:01 PMSturmpanther Huh? For me its working fine and you have more ways to flank from south too. You saw the 1 path, where normally no vehicles at all could drive? It is fixed and passable now. From inf you can use 4 flanks into the forrest. that should be enough^^ Northside has 4 too. But this is kind of offtopic here for Port of Hamburg^^ 1. SOUTH TO NORTH FLANKS 2. NORTH TO SOUTH FLANKS The north has many more flanks possible. The north has two more paths to get behind an MG. Once they are behind the MG, there are two hedgerow sight blockers creating even more flanking options. Not to mention if the units are CQC they will be right on top of the MG before it even sees them. The southern flank path can be guarded my a single MG or mine. The top would require at least three MGs to do a decent job. And I skipped the far right side river flanks. So add one to each Edit: Notice also that all of the large areas to fight in are North of the tracks. Meaning, if its an even fight, you are in your base. GG. In: Lobby
Thread: Spring Update - Port of Hamburg21 Apr 2018, 05:00 AM Version 2 is now ready: REMINDER: This map was adjusted to exhibit my ideas of balancing the map. After some adjustments I went crazy with actually making it play better as well. This version focused on balancing the right side building so that North/South will reach it at the same time. There were also some eye candy changes such as additional trees, grass, and shrubs. The rail lines above the center VP were removed and a fenced in storage area was added. 1. RIGHT SIDE BALANCE: To get the right side building to be the same distance for North/south took moving the North bases a lot. Three buildings had to be removed and the large fuel containers were moved to decrease pathing distance. 2. RIGHT SIDE BALANCE: I removed some of the green cover around the fuel and added green cover to the south side. The south side probably needs more cover to mirror the walls around the fuel. Many times when the south gets pushed out by the north team, they have no cover to fight back into position. Base rape is usually next. Many games see the south getting the fuel then being pushed out late game and never recovering. I also removed the brick debris piles around the fuel, as they have very strange LOS blocking issues. Maybe they were intentional. I do not like ambiguous LOS, so they are gone. 3. I removed a train section to make two paths out of your base. I also removed some debris around the destroyed building so units could sneak thru easier. 4. RIGHT SIDE BALANCE: Some distance needed to be added to the south base to get the timing to the building balanced. The fence in front of the base was extended and the fuel containers were moved to force a longer path. 5. LEFT SIDE BALANCE: As Sturmpanther noted, the south was still getting to the LEFT side faster. A fence and some debris were added to increase the pathing distance from south to left building. Interesting thing is how the Worldbuilder measuring tool is not very accurate. Also moved/removed objects left of the base to increase light vehicle movement (the clustertrucks). 6. LEFT SIDE BALANCE: Added a crane and more concrete panels to add LOS blocks. Not sure if they should be included, but there are flanks thru the industrial area on Right side, so they were added to reduce domination. 7. The upper dock section had some objects removed to allow for more OKW trucks and USF ambulance positioning options. 8. Since I was changing everything, I modified the left fuel industrial area. The alternate North/south path is now larger and has LOS blockers for better assaults/retreats. There is also a path on BOTH sides of the industrial area to allow for more flanking. Note: only infantry will fit thru the alternate path. 9. Moving the bases left a blank base area so an enclosed field was created. 10. Objects were moved around in the field above the right fuel. Trees were also added throughout the map by the roads, etc. In: Lobby
Thread: Spring Update - Port of Hamburg21 Apr 2018, 04:08 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2018, 17:06 PMSturmpanther It looks for me as south side can get this house faster and now has then fuel control+ vp! with 1 house. You mean like the original does on the east side In: Lobby
Thread: Spring Update - Port of Hamburg19 Apr 2018, 14:58 PM Here are the changes I made (would like to see): 1. Open the area north of the middle VP. Was already done in latest version with two rail sections. Great job! 2. Swap out center cargo containers for walls or some other destructable to allow for open late game play. Once again, armies regularly mass northeast of the cargo bays and get rekt by arty because everyone know that is the only place they could be. 3. Modified fence (top) to have some cover value. Added cover in road. Added building to mirror the north. 4. Opened field above right fuel to allow for more hiding places for amassed armies. Especially OKW trucks. They were too easy to wipe with mortar/arty. Also added a building since the south side has 3 points that are nearly untouchable. This gives south a fuel/muni advantage. The north points are constantly taken and can not be cached safely. Also opened the entrance to the field to allow northern armies to push the fuel easier. 5. Moved the left side fuel building to be centered and mirrors the right side fuel. Also removed the small building for north, since, it had no windows and just got in the way most of the time. Added sight blockers so building can be approach from north or south without instant suppression. One added benefit is the south base now takes a path left of its base and crosses the bridge to get to the building. Making the area south of the bridge at least feel like a part of the game. It now takes 1:01 for each spawn to get to the building. In: Lobby
Thread: Spring Update - Port of Hamburg19 Apr 2018, 08:22 AM Boom! Fixed. I took Capiqua's latest version and modified it to where Port of Hamburg should be. Note the latest version already had a major change in the north center Check it out on steam: Port of Rosbone In: Lobby
Thread: Spring Update - Port of Hamburg18 Apr 2018, 15:44 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2018, 15:32 PMSturmpanther Also the changes were already made long time ago.( Just the unit patch takes allways so long^^) That is why it is so important to get it right. That is why I spoke up. Now is the time to fix it. I have 24/7 to work on it. Just volunteering. As always much praise for your hard work and the others that are getting these things done In: Lobby
Thread: Spring Update - Port of Hamburg18 Apr 2018, 15:18 PM Also, all of the other maps feel pretty balanced. Lanzareth Ambush still feels North favored but the last changes made a big difference. Maybe open the tree line southwest of the middle VP a little more to reduce bottleneck. Lienne Forrest needs a rework on the right side trees. The North can be flanked from several paths but the South can only flank from one and it is very awkward. EDIT: LaGleize feels south favoured due to the left side cutoff. You play that map way more than I do (everytime you stream) so I will leave that all up to you In: Lobby
Thread: Spring Update - Port of Hamburg18 Apr 2018, 15:09 PM Seriously send me the map and I will have it all fixed up in an hour or two. Easy. In: Lobby
Thread: Spring Update - Port of Hamburg18 Apr 2018, 15:06 PM Good I just wanted to point out that the current live version is imbalanced. If it were me I would: 1. Remove some of the canal north of the middle VP (as above). It would not take much. To give the north army a bigger area to spread out. 2. Remove the small building overlooking Left VP. When pushed the bottleneck it creates makes it hard to defend that area. 3. Remove some of the high fence south of the left fuel. And possible add a wall or some other cover there. When pushed south team has no cover just a large road area. 4. Remove the two large cargo containers just south of middle VP. Use something that can be destroyed by mid game. It creates a bottleneck when defending middle VP. 5. Rework the area just northwest of the middle VP. It is a cluster and creates vague engagements. 6. Remove the stupid sight blocking shrubs north of the middle VP. Derp. That would be a good start.... In: Lobby
