Oo look forward to this one, love the sector layout.

looking good...  i've been trying to gather a group and play on it.

Thanks, i would play but I've been busy lately. I'll ty to play sometime soon.

Played it... awesome!  Just needs a little more in the fields?  It feels pretty open.  Very playable!


Battle # 4948

Axis armor PWNING! 

Because it is not part of the module we just renamed it the 4p_lantavillebeta.sga and it works... so you will have to download the map and rename it in order to watch this replay.  It is a fun match.

Could a dev please add this to the module.

maybe moving the church and grave yard down a little if possiable?  it is a really nice feature that we never got near... but the left side fields felt a little too open.  I think you can stamp it ?

It almost has the feeling of a 3 player RTC which is a complement considering Unkn0wns map is still one of the top played.

Needs crashed plane ^^

Your urban architecture is very bad. I already realized that on Lanteville.

If a house in the wb has no windows to certain sides, then it is a row house. Meaning directly adjacent to other houses. You don't just build a house in the open and leave it windowless to 2 sides. Same goes for houses with windows on all sides, you don't put those right in front of another house.

It's not only a realism point of view, it's also important for gameplay. House combat becomes akward if they have no proper firing angles and players have to use paks or tanks to shoot holes in the windowless sides. No good map design.

St Mere Du Mont begs to differ. But then maybe thats proving your point since it has to be the most unbalanced official 1v1 map in existence.

Ok WTF apex, on everyone of my maps you have done nothing but insult me. If you have a problem with the map, tell me don't insult me.

I have not insulted you. I told you that your urban architecture is bad and the the map design suffers from that. Didn't know that someone with the name Spartan is so sensitive.

This.Is.SENSITIVITY!


Looks like a pretty good map. Need to try it.

Sorry, i tend to jump to conclusions very fast, and the way you worded it sounded like you were.

Nevermind.

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 like the way the buildings are faced with no windows... adds dynamic strategy!

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.

love the map great for tank battles the buildings need work and the pathing in the streets need some work but over all it looks great:) take what unknown did and it should be a great map

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 :))

I am going to update tomorrow so but it off until then.

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 :)

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.

Shouldn't just release updates for minor changes :/ but okay.
