Map is very enjoyable, has a lot of potential and I look forward to playing more.

Some advice though:
- Add a lot more random hedges around the big roads, particularly on the left because in its current state, a flak will DOMINATE even more than on RTC :p.

- Some buildings have the 'front porch' walls too close to the building, making you unable to occupy the building through the front door.

- Add weather options, map preview image, loading screen (a better one than lanteville :p, ask kolath if needed)

- Don't have wheat on every field, have some 'empty' fields with random clutter on it. (I.e craters, bushes, tractors, etc for cover, see relic's)

- Add some more random buildings/sheds on the left.

- Tone down the huge forest grove on the right middle side of the map .

- Move the vehicle clutter in the city more towards the size of the road, these vehicles can't really be wrecked so they're quite an obstruction.

- Roads aren't really roads, no vehicle speed bonus and no negative cover??

Sectors need to be rebalanced also, they're not even on both sides. Just do it RTC 'frontline' style. 3 rows of 5 sectors each or something like that.

I didn't like the buildings on the edge of the town with no windows on their sides; they take no skill to flank. You just run up to the side and throw a nade through the wall.

Please rerelease .sga as 6p_Tanteville so people can play it and we can compose a mappack.
(If you intend on updating soon, mappack can be put on hold for a few days Smiley)

Spartan, this map is already a lot of fun and I think it has the potential to be one of the most played maps in EiR. If you put some more work into it, because the urban area architecture is a catasthrophy Smiley

Some suggestions:

- Get rid of all the fricking row houses. The windowless sides mess gameplay up a lot and have nothing to do in such a small village anyway.

- The garden fences and walls in front of houses clutter units and makes entering and leaving them extremely risky. Either remove them or make them less of an obstacle.

- Some houses have backdoors, and some dont. This is bad because you cant see it. Entering those buildings from behind is quite a gamble because you might have to go all the way around them (including the fences and walls).

- The forest in the southeast needs to have some small pathways, maybe even for infantry only. But you need to be able to flank the town entrance somehow.

- Northern fields are good, maybe add some eyecandy, remnants of a past battle would fit, some corpses and wrecks maybe.

Thanks for the comments, I'll get to work on it as soon as finales are over.

I'd be happy to make you a nice loading screen if you send me a desired screenshot in at as high resolution as possible.  Just PM me.

here's an update, only thing that has changed is the sector layout.
@Kolath: I would love for you to make me a loading screen.
