what's going to be the size of this map? Quinlin or closer to Ghost Train?

Post by **dbzao** » 2008-02-03 05:30

Minimap would be good.

Maybe change the colour of the water? Currently it looks like milk.

keep it that trees trees trees way forest fight is awesome.

minimap-

The village is no where near complete just a few statics whacked on the ground
and there is a couple of little small out buildings/ groupings missing from the river bank (haven't started to clear out the overgrowth and place them yet)

the water will get changed its only just there so i know where the river is

and its Operation Ghost Train size (512^2) with its aim being an illicit love child between OGT and Qwai river. (thanks for Shitewolf for the description

)

Nice

I still think adding one or two other small clearing w/ some facility or village would be good, but thats just me.

Post by **fuzzhead** » 2008-02-03 23:02

I like a map that is not too 'busy'.... this map seems to strike that balance nicely, good job man

Post by **Nickbond592** » 2008-02-03 23:05

Thankyou fuzzhead for the kind words

I've just updated the water, any feedback on the colour/speed of the river ?

*edit* roflcakes I just asked you for feedback on the speed of the river via the medium of picture

*edit*

Where do you plan to place CPs?

Will the map have APCs?

The map will be a pure infantry map with the chinese maybe possesing a light jeep or two to help them get from the starting position and into the flags to defend them first.
The CP layout is subject to change as its not a completed map yet, still need to add in some more little houses/groupings along the river bank and there is a possibility of having a Chinese start in the north hills

Oh I'm liking this.. has a bit of a Bi Ming flair to it. I'm glad to see not all future maps will be huge as hell.

Post by **fuzzhead** » 2008-02-04 03:33

Yea the CP layout looks great... a China start in the north would work too, glad you decided to go with straight AAS (no groups) and also glad you decided to go with no vehicles in such a small map, think this will turn out great!

Post by **GeZe** » 2008-02-04 03:46

I also like the no aas groups.

My suggestion is this:

The cliffs are there to stop the US from just bum rushing the village at the beginning, and also in the north to stop them from going to the Chinese main, and vice versa, to stop from when the Chinese have the village from attacking US main, and to stop the Chinese from attacking village outpost in beginning.

Post by **Nickbond592** » 2008-02-04 19:44

No offence GEZE, and i see what your concerns are, but cliffs would be out of place on this map, all my references of the area show a river flowing through a soft (shallow) valley.

A dome of Death will be present over the US main, and probably a pre-placed forward spawn of some sort (bunker) will hopefully be placed for the Chinese in the village, to force the US to move to the outpost first (along with it being the first flag they must cap)

I want the map to be open as possible allowing you to approach a flag from any attack angle.

Thanks for the input though its much appreciated

Just throwing thoughts around - if you have some flat farmland on the left bank instead of jungle, you could paradrop the US into the paddy fields, have them fight up through the drainage ditches to the outpost (commandeered farm houses?), then cross the river and move through the jungle to engage and destroy the enemy. That would remove the need for a dome of death which on other maps is a metaphor for guards and defenders but here would not make sense ... and would also give people a chance to paradrop which seems to be the theme of every second thread these days
