Map request (Map Makers please read)

Right, it would be nice for a good event / battle map for a Large fortified position, rather than a single house or fort.

SO-
Maybe a walled town, 4 houses inside stone walls, walls are breakable and have Cannons on them
Large Stone Mansion in the middle of the town with a courtyard infront.
Faction 1 spawns in teh courtyard and faction 2 spawns in a siege camp outside the town, far enough away for both sides' cannon to be effective.
Raisable ladders for the walls, gate can be openable by gate house. And maybe a secret entrance like a sewer that leads into one of the houses with a trap door?

So you got a river round the town with a bridge over it, cannons on the walls and cannons in teh siege camp, that need to be moved by horses, a gate, a sewer, 4 houses, a mansion of 3 storeys and a courtyard

Dont feel like it. Problem?

No

It would be good but it is so much effort for something that would get used so little.

Although what would be better are trenches surrounding the whole plaza so when there is a breach in the wall everyone will charge through it just like in the sharp film.

 

[marchal davout]

yeh do it

As far as I'm aware with up coming development a lot of such maps will be being made anyway.

i remember in prussia 1 (i think) there was a similar map, the attackers won about 1\10 rounds and it was without any cannons on both sides. now imagine someone like vince or attila on the cannons, it will be a massacre, not to mention the lag it will bring for those with less powerful PCs. Plus it will be a campers paradise. So, I am against it

Indeed another campers delight.

I'd rather see more flat maps, with very slight and long sloping hills. With trees towards the edges.
Maps that do not give much hiding places.
This will make constant moving formations less likely, and probably increase the chances of better battle lines of the opposing armies... I mean in line battles, wouldn't feel great to see to armies oppose eachother both in long line?
It will also give a better overview for the overal commanders.

In open play I find the maps with less defenses also the most fun.
If this is too much an opportunity for cav, make some dots of trees and farmland fences scattered over the map.

Cheers,

The siege of Badajoz.
You'll need a forlorn hope.... maybe even use a mine to cover the breach...

I already have a map like this, but better, in planning.
Though it will be a while, I have quite a few maps in the planning stages.

It will also be camp resistant, be conquest based and have 2/3 routes to the main objective.

Any gamemode is better than boring ass battles :s
