And im also curious about the KFS VP change. Shouldnt the left side house be allowed to watch over the mid vp with an HMG (at least, it doesnt look it would be able to). Or is the intent that the church be the garrison that players fight over to get control of mid vp?
Indeed its intented to have not a nonbrainer free vp for left VP cover with a house+ mg.
Yes the church is now the important building for the middle vp. Both side have the same time to reach it now. See it like on faymonvill the middle vp building.
Best thing is: Get a friend to play with you on the custom map and see how you can flank now the middle
Not sure why we mess around with maps in the middle of the qualifaction series. Lots of them seem counter intuitive aswell.
I knew that some people would think so
Thats why i made the changes as small as possible, but still fixing the positions 1. Also now allies have better spot in the cup.( As i heard alot of people think axis will mainly win)
So there is not really much to adapt to the reworked maps. Most are nonbrainer changes or inf/tankpathing improvement.
The only really big change is KFS middle vp. Now maybe we will see some Brit playing on KFS as well, without getting all the time tripple capped.
To make it clear: The maps are not fullbalanced. Because If we had done this, then people had to adapt a lot!
isnt a mid VP on kholodny too much change? it's like it's right next to church, and west player might have problems taking it, altho i know the west player had really easy access to mid VP (the live version) but now it seems like to swapped the things
As I wrote: Left side is STILL 6 sec faster to the middle vp. So your "seems like" is wrong here.
And you have 6! cover positions for the left player for a mg for the middle vp
Hey there,
You maybe heard already some rumor about reworked GCS maps. There you go! Big Thank You to the Mapmakers: Capiqua, MonolithicBacon, Tric and Whiteflash, who helped me to edit the maps and as always: Blame and flame goes to me (Sturmpanther). Now enjoy the read and look:
