After many many hours of hard labour with the world builder, I'm pleased to present you the beta version of my map: Vierville.

Description:
'Onward, schnell!!', both axis and allied forces are rapidly advancing towards the small city of Vierville. In order for one side to achieve victory, they will be required to make good use of the large amounts of narrow streets and buildings found in the city. It is already certain that no armored vehicle will easily get through...


Installation:
Download from: Map Database! (See sticky in this forum)

Please feel free to give input so I can finetune this map and have it finalised ASAP.
You may always contact me for a game on it aswell .

Yes, that's one thing i think we need to worry about (By the way the quality of it is excellent unknown ).  EiR has the tendency to be terribly upsetting to play if paths are restricted by only a handful of units (I.E. some MG's in certain positions can pin down the movement of the entire opposing force). Although mortars can counter, usually the players who can stop movement early are able to become aggressive and corner the other player.

[Skunker]

Excellent work unknown, it pans out really well in a 2vs2.

[Apex]

Excellent map, i loved playing it! Maybe one thing, make the bunker one of those where u can shoot from all sides, would compensate for the flakvierling.

[Unkn0wn]

New version!!!

- Finetuned sectors
- Changed bunker
- Added more details (corpses, action marker fog, etc)
- Severely wrecked the city
- Fixed map description (hopefully )

[Unkn0wn]

Wow, this was on page 7!
Anyway, update!

- Removed flakvierling (lmao)
- Added additional sector in the town, this should make it slightly easier for the attackers.
- Added some openings on the right flank hedge, should now be a lot more convient to flank from the right.
- Made some other minor openings in buildings & walls.

New link in Map Database ASAP.

[Unkn0wn]

Would appreciate feedback.
I'm aware it's not exactly a popular 2vs2 map even though I personally think it usually has loads of action-packed urban combat sequences.
Hopefully, with your feedback, I can further finetune it and make it more desirable.

Both Airfield & Vierville are on my finalisation list for these next few weeks.

This map is pretty broken for MCP, This is one of the few maps you can actually spawn camp in.

Sectors need to be reworked, dunno what else but the map overall is pretty broken for EIR right now.

Airborne players with raidassault can spawncamp on any map

[Lancerblood]

well its not JUST the spawn camping, the spawn arty is broken as well for some reason.  You can put an MG in the house closest to the northern spawn without getting artied, you can set up AT guns and whatever else near there as well.  Thats pretty damn close to the spawn point to be setting up defenses there.  Set up an MG bunker there and you pretty much lock down someones spawn.

[Unkn0wn]

You're not supposed to attack from inside the city .

[Smithy17]

You should probably make some gaps in the hedges up the sides, there seems to be alot of possibilities for airborne to get stuck there.

[Unkn0wn]

The left side hedges? It's not intended that anyone ever goes there so if I open it up people will likely just go in there for no reason . I'll see if I can spam it with blockers so that you can't drop there.

[BradAnderson]

bugged house hmg squad goes in front door goes out back and hedge blocks him

[attachment deleted by admin]

[Unkn0wn]

Thanks, will look into that for next version.
Any other general input?

[BradAnderson]

enjoyd the map possibly a little difficult to attack from outside town still.... mcp really WTFPWNS

[Unkn0wn]

It should neutralise once you have the outskirts + 1.

Unknown I'd like to say you did an awesome job on this map.

I have both attacked and defended on this map and won both times as Allies and as Axis.

The advantage of defending the city is evened out by the fact that the defenders must trek a LONG time to the front, while the attackers just have to walk a few feet from their spawn.

A lot of people dislike the balance of this map but I think it's great. Nice job.

(if you have difficulty attacking on this map, remember this phrase -- HEAVY CRUSH!)

The city is huge. If you're attacking, crush a gap in the hedge and leak through like a flood. The defending reinforcements will take a long time to get there, so use it to your advantage.

If crushing hedges with a tank and pouring troops in isn't your thing, use mortars. 3 is a good number for an attacking force. TAKE CARE OF YOUR MORTARS. Do not barrage unless you are in a mortar duel.

After you've beaten the initial defenders, there is a church towards the middle of the map. Use it.

[haeso1]

you really need to change the sectors, if so this map would be fine. 25% bleed if you can't push early game? that's horrendous. The map looks amazing, the detail and quality is nice, but the absolutely forcing you to capture a zone in the city is too much. Maybe once everyone has early deployments and/or airborne spam to catch defenders as they get there it might be fine, but not everyone has those yet in this war, and attacking without them is just simply impossible.

[jackmccrack2]

I think 25% bleed is the norm for most maps if the defenders push right up to the spawn arty.
