I have here a version of Industrial complex to be tested, it is a 2 v 2 map:

Latest Version:

Current territory layout:



Any comments or suggestions are welcome, I can say that this is probably not the final version, let me know about any territory or visual changes you can think of.

The main areas should have multipul small sectors to give some incentive to attack/defend those positions.

but wow, your maps are awesome.

I guess my question would be what sectors would you change and how?

I'd say cut the middle into 4 sectors, and cut each corner on the northeast and southwest into 2 sectors, instead of 3 really big sectors.

Sectors look perfect to me.  Balanced.

I will take the sector suggestions in to consideration, but before I make changes I would like to preferably here from some people after playing the map.

Also (if you haven't played it) the center area is very difficult to move vehicles through, from playing this map on vCoH I noticed that there seems to be two paths going around the edges of the map. The center rail yard is mostly and infanrty area (to narrow for tanks and some vehicles).

I will probably wait a day or two before making any changes, so keep up the suggestions.

Its a alright map, Pathing can shit people off.

The only problem I see if the sector layout. The game I just played; it was too easy to capture the large next to spawn sectors, effectively force the 3;00 minute timer to the game end.

I added my recommendations for new sectors (Blue).



Other than that it's great.

I want to see how this new territory lay out does, if its is good I will go ahead and fix up a few issues, I am not sure what happened to the mini map, must have been droped when I changed names, still doing a little work overhauling some of the older aspects of the map.

One final thing that I plan on adding is an options file, so I would kind of like to know what types of weather conditions would be good for this map.

I will try to get this map fixed up by Thursday, I will add back it the menu mini map (that just disapeared), correct nameing, and add the options file, at the moment it will only have the default, Rainy, and night (maybe a couple more).

I plan on working on it tomorrow (Wendsday) so last minutes suggestions on anything are welcome.

Turn the map 45 degrees counterclockwise to give a better isometric view.

Haven't played yet but if it's a problem like Shoe claims you could try to put both starting positions as far in the corner as possible, almost on top of eachother, that should minimalise the effect of spawn artillery.

Making the starting areas smaller probably won't help much, its a very small 2 v 2. and arty would still probably be able to hit anywere with out much problem.

There is one remaining possibility, I could try to expand the borders to make the map a little larger(not much) but it may help. Basicly you would be able to play in some of the areas just off the map (up to the trees), would include it small runway and some small forest area.

I have a new version of "IC", the name has been fixed and the menu mini map has been added.

This version has some major (somewhat unexpected changes),

first of all the map has been expanded to increase the size, however the increase was more than I expected so the map is now a 6p map, although the border territories are somewhat large, there are a lot of groves that decrease the actual size of playable space .

Second an options file has been added with 4 weather options: Midday, Night, Storm, and Dawn.

Once again any opinions or suggestions are welcome.

(check first post for updated file and teritorry layout)
