Hey everybody, this is my next map after fortified factories - made to the sweet sounds of old SNF episodes. It's another 2 player map that can have up to 4, this time I tried making a snow map for the first time. It doesn't use blizzards because they cause some lighting issues when I use the preset atmospheres that you're limited to at the moment when using scripted weather. Perhaps if relic release some information on how to do custom scripted weather I'll patch them in later

The map is very open, with some patches of deep snow, and a negative cover road running through the middle. It should be balanced, but it does uses a slight asymmetrical design when it comes to territory layout, to make it a bit more interesting.

Screenshots commence, there are a couple more on the workshop page:

Hello again guys, this is my third map after Narva River and Prokhorenki - this time I tried to make a map that would be enjoyable for choke-points and camping, but would open up with destruction to allow lots of flanking and create a shift in territory control later in the game.

Players can capture territory right up to outside the enemy base, which changes quick when medium tanks or explosives open up the walls and force invaders back. True-sight makes the sudden breach of the wall quite unexpected every time, and can lead to a retreat unless prepared. You can also booby-trap the territory that you will inevitably lose which promotes the use of mines.

As for feedback, I expect there to be issues with the narrow path through the ruins on the right side, the fact that the railway station obstructs artillery mid-arc and balance issues with the right-hand side base having to move through a narrow path to reach the middle VP.

There are loads of high-res screenshots on the workshop page, here are a couple small versions:

Sorry for the double post, but I've updated the link to the new version, plus the old mini map preview is replaced with the new one too.

I don't know if it's safe to rename the raw file once it's compiled, so I left it as 'V2' - I'm sorry if this causes any problems but I can't imagine too many people downloaded the initial file

Change-log:
-Replaced bridge with working model (can now be repaired)
-Added 4 ford crossings to river
-Reduced number of territory points
-Reduced number of munitions points and relocated some of the high resource points
-Widened land-bridges (I've still had some issues, but it shouldn't clog up unless tanks are parked on the bridge)
-Expanded east spawn point upwards and reduced playable area
-Nudged some bushes and things around a bit

I had a test game and then moved some stuff a bit more. Hope it works for you guys

Thanks for all the help so far, I'll see if the bridge repair bug is an issue for me and if so I'll replace the model with another one.

I didn't understand all the annotations Phan, but how's this:



I plan to remove the right section of the river because I think it was artificially formed after the war, based on some ww2 aerial photos I found. Green denotes shallow water that can be crossed, blue are sector outlines, red crosses are the new map entry points, red lines are the destructible bridges. The east starting points have moved and the playable area is slightly reduced. Any changes before I start work anyone can think of?

Hey guys, I was waiting for official Steam workshop support but it's taking longer that I expected. Narva River is a map I've been working on for a few days - it's based on a real location on the eastern front, but many of the details may be inaccurate due to me using modern day photos as a template.





Narva River features a bridge near each base, with a central VP that can only be accessed by infantry. The northern side starts near Hermann Castle, with Ivangorod Fortress over the other side of the bridge, across the Russian-Estonian border. The South base starts near two railway bridges, with large farm areas to the North, leading up to the fortress.

The map is not balanced at all at the moment - I've done no testing (except with AI) and there are a few more territory points than perhaps there should be. The map was good practice for me, as it's the first map I've finished with World Builder. I'll perhaps be moving onto something smaller in scale (2v2) and not based as heavily on real geography. Please provide feedback for any improvements and balance issues you can find
