I'll look into doing an abbeville 'hotfix' soon, basically just some finetuning to sector layout and a graphical fix here and there. Post ALL the issues (preferably minor) you have with the map in its current shape and I will attend to them in this hotfix.
Already have:
- Enlarging the church sector so that the backward sectors are no longer connected with the forest area, this should stop backcapping on that flank, basically forcing you to clear out the church area first.
- Will look into splitting the forest area in 2 parts, to compensate, one of the 'useless' field sectors on the left of the forest will likely be removed/merged.
- Will fix some minor sector bugs left and right. (Sectors being a little messy, etc)
- Graphical fixes to missing telephone poles/farmfences/etc.
- Fix to the northern house, units should no longer get stuck behind it.
- Fix the cowfarm
Post more here.
All ideas will be looked into, even the more 'demanding' suggestions.
(Adding a house left & right, adding certain details and whatnot)

mh, the only thing coming to my mind is the church sector reaching over a hedge at one place in the north, but i guess you allready have changed that in your work version.
you may think about adding a BIT of prebuild defense to the church area to make chateau and church more of the same risk / challange to take out, but i dont like the idea myself because i dont like mirrored maps.
but most of the time attacking on abbeville, we ignore the chateau for at least 20mins ingame because the other areas are easier to take / benefit you more sector-wise.
but anyways you did a pretty great job with abbeville, and i cant think of any real issue besides the sector at the church reaching over the hedge

Might throw down some improvisionary defenses (basically sandbags) around the church or in the forest . |

You mentioned all of the gameplay concerns I have with the map already.
Adding a little spice to it wouldn't hurt, might make it feel more new, less overplayed, but nothing else is necessary. Really, changing it at all isn't necessary either, but it would play better with MCP I think.

Well it seems like there is always that diagonal line that the battle draws into. you may consider expanding the town slightly more south into the field. bringing it a bit closer to the allied side of the map. The forest area could use some sprucing up, maybe split the sectors a bit.

The forest needs to be more important. I have yet to see a game where it has made a difference. But, you're adressing this!

Some of the houses in the forest sector are blocked by large stacks of lumber, thus minimizing the effect of a possible garrison. Possibly move them so firing arcs can be better established?

Needs more bloom. Make the forest more visible, as in remove some of those trees. Oh and the chateau wall, fix that. |

I demand unicorns. And cowbell. Will look into the cowbells, probably around the cowfarm. Also it lacks hill-ish stuff. The hills have eyes. Needs more bloom. Noted Make the forest more visible, as in remove some of those trees. I'll just turn it into an open field? |
