[Finished] Strackensberg (4)

[JoeStracke]

I actually really like this map like it is. Also it is his map so if he was going for the clean look, he did it well. I'm going to take this before it gets altered. I have plans for it...

Heh... I haven't found any reasons to alter it beyond the current incarnation.  I'm also not entirely sure why some folks seem to think that the moment a war is declared, cities suddenly fall into ruin. 

In any event, from what I've seen of the EF maps included in the mod, Strackensberg would be an excellent learning tool for mapmakers, as it would allow them to see what game battle-damage should look like applied to a wide range of objects.  The Moscow map in particular struck me as particularly atrocious in its use of damage detail.

There is no fight in a undestructed city.... in WW2 no army (at least on the Eastern Front) entered a city without artillery fire and air raids.

Oh well . If he wants his map to be nice and pretty let him :3. Just out of curiosity could our mappers edit it (if they dont like the cleaness)?

That's in the hands of our Head Mappers Maxi and Mystic.

Well we could, but that's always a matter of effort and pay. Plus we'd only do if JoeStracke agrees. But as it is currently, there doesn't seem to be a way nor sufficient time for neither Mystic nor me to do this.

In the words of my procrastinating friend: THATS MAD WORK!

Understood though

Which [EF] maps are they responsible for?

They decide if a map is going to be included or not and they are kinda overwork the design of almost every map.

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

Yep, that's what we do
If you want to know which maps we made; AFAIK Mystic didn't contribute an own map, I did Lemberg (4) and parts of Kalach (6).
Currently I'm working on another map for six players.

If I'm not mistaken, CoH provides a player with both of those types of attack options.   

At the risk of sounding pedantic pertaining to your claim that every Soviet city was a rugged wall of defense that needed softening via artillery and airstrikes, from what I've read of Operation Barbarossa, it seems highly unlikely that the blitzkrieg assault that captured 300,000 Soviets in the first 17 days stopped to bombard every town they came across... when would they have had the time??


Besides, you really should reference 'rear guard action' to better understand why this particular environment was not shelled in advance.

Cheers!

Two I have yet to try, I'm afraid.  So many new maps in this mod... I've been playing a different [EF] map each time I play pretty much at random (with the exception of Rostov, which I downloaded a while back from some other site and was already familiar with).

Looking forward to the two you mentioned!   

Cheers!

Some spoiler is already planned
But that map took or takes me way longer than Lemberg (which I finished in about 2 weeks). Been working on it since September. But will be a unique Spoiler, I promise
