Cool! Will have a look tomorrow and get in touch if there's any edits needed before we can throw it in. Volksy can then include it with the batch of maps currently pending upload

Holy shit! We finally get to play the best vCOH map ever in EIRR! Woot!

Anyway, I just thought that I would suggest a few changes based on the spawns, other maps, and lots of theory crafting:

Here's how I think the current layout will play (PS I see that the bottom right isn't actually in the play area, but it should be):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/10gK9I4L6KzdSRKDAVl1h6-7eO3Mee5LQ/view?usp=sharing
Green is the general meeting points, you get some nice town on town action on the right, but the purple flank favours the northern spawns.
In general, on other maps where one side has lots of buildings near its spawn and the other side doesn't, the buildings are never used, they just get in the way, and the map isn't considered to be very good by the community.

As such, this is how I would change the map (after extending the border to include the bottom right area):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1437VMmb_kQUP64Clngc-2Kr7k8605vtS/view?usp=sharing
I would remove the buildings in the red area, and make it like the open fields that the left side has.
I would change it to be a diagonally meeting map to extend the usage of the different built up areas, this makes the meeting points more like the middle of Neuville, and it also equalises the open flank at the bottom for both sides.

Anyway, it looks really awesome, so massive kudos to you!

Tig's suggestions are not bad. Would basically turn the map into Forest Winter on paper. However, If you do them, I would like to say that the spawns that both teams have that are significantly closer to the midline than the other two are a bad idea. Its fine in ME/Attack modes, but can cause some issues in R+ if say one player gets the advanced spawn and the other does not. Would lead to basically giving one team free central control in R+.

Yes, use a ruler and check that everything is of equal distance to the middle.

Anyway, more like Neuville and Forrest had an ice baby.

i like forest but i don´t like where the spawns are coz once u got pushed back u can preet much do nothing as u cannot flank em its like u got pushed to one side of the corner and u can´t able to make any move.

thx for the effort AlphaTig

changes have been made in the map , old file is discarded, and i have updated the new download map file.

Don't make it like the Forrest spawns which are horrible, make it like this shape:

Make the fighting happen over the interesting places, don't impede movement to them, and don't gimp certain sides in terms of meeting points (as in one side has a great building for over watching the approach to the mid line while the other one doesn't, resulting in the map not having a 50/50 zone of control split).

Map has potential but I'd recommend getting rid of the default snow weather setting, that's a no no for visibility and users with low performance. In addition, I'd also get rid of some of the houses down south and some of the ones on the right side of the map closer to the spawn.

A version without snow may be good as well, can just have the river be emptied out like in Somewhere in Normandy

Sectors also need some work imo
