This map reflects the rural Soviet Union. This map includes tactically important grave yard, forest, farm field, and the river is cross-able for the most part for flanking. This map also has three different weathers as the game progresses!
Disclaimer: This map pack consists of three2v2 maps made by me with help of a lot of people from this forum. For a cleaner read, I will dissect my post into FIVE different post spaces.
Map List:
1. The Primrose Path
2. Pavlov's House
3. The Intersection
Introduction
I decided to make maps in the first place after noticing that a lot of relic's 2v2 maps are cluster-phobic, under-sized, and/or badly designed in other ways. Anyone who played Minsk Pocket, Semoisky Summer, Trois Point, Hurtgen Forest, Ettelbruck Station, Road to Kharkov in 2v2 setting knows what I am talking about. That is a lot of map: to put into perspective, they are six out of fourteen 2v2 maps available in auto-match (two more are over-sized but better than the mentioned six). So I got into the world-builder tool to make some good-ol' open and appropriately sized 2v2 maps like Rails and Metal, Vaux Farmlands, and Moscow Outskirts.
The maps were made for competitive plays, thus the design and balance of the map came first then the aesthetics. Although I think there are unique and detailed aesthetics on each maps which I put a lot of work into. All of these maps have medic and repair stations for greater strategic depths. Also, normal maps have 10 normal resource points, but my maps only have eight each. I did this to limit resources and delay teching for I love early and mid game.

Additional Information:
I have updated 'The Primrose Path' and 'Pavlov's House' with new conventional tactical maps. But due to a fault of my own, I cannot simply update the map, but rather I have to publish the maps again with the new tactical maps. They may not seem as nice as other tactical maps of other map makers, but I am still learning photoshop and planning update the tac-maps soon.
Due to this, my further updates will be on the re-released versions of the maps.
My issues with replays I've made on maps, for footage, was trying to review them, after exporting the map again. Once the map is changed, any replays on previous versions will not work correctly, even if the changes are small. I imagine this is not your problem, but either way, that is my experience. For the best footage, I recommend Janne's Cheat Mod, and use a real time screen video capture program, like fraps, or overwolf. Cheat Mod will let you set up some real specific shots, with specific units...ect, and allow you to remove the UI for the capture, without having to learn the NIS process.
