European Maps

devildog00 · Post by **devildog00** » 2008-02-03 20:43

I was thinking that since pr is mostly desert for forest maps with some cities but not maps that are primarly a city so heres my suggestion is that we should have some huge city maps that would resemble one of europes major city as if the chinese forces or mec forces invaded. And yes i know it takes a while to make a map... its kinda a suggestion for future releases of PR.

It would be really nice but we need to model all the building

MEC/PLA wouldn't work so well with that, but with Russia coming in (along with Geze's " I miss days when Russia was at war with everybody..." [an e-cookie for the first person to get the reference] policy on match ups) perhaps Russia vs Poland or Germany?

I'll be happy to model buldings if needed, but not too complicated as I don't have all the time in the world to model.

I think a real city with lots of new buildings would take a lot of time. Russia invading would be a good idea, and a few maps in eastern germany and poland maybe - why not. But i think villages and fields would be easier, cause if they would already be so deep within the countries i dont think those would still send troops to afghanistan, and there wouldnt be any german or polish vs MEC or insurgents maps.

I think very eastern europe and only fields and villages would be easier and not that... end-time-like. German, Polish, British and American troops would probably defend it together then. Getting TOO Europe-Focused doesnt seem to be such a good idea, imo. Not because i live in europe, but because then the afghanistan missions and especialy insurgency would be so... unimportant for all european factions as they would have to defend their own country - i think it would better to keep it away from the bigger cities, because then it would become a totaly different game.

^ The European conflicts could take place after the insurgency and invasion of MEC/China

I'd love to see European maps but I've got a feeling it ain't going to work simply because there will be a bunch of people getting their panties in a twist about "THAT's NOT REALISTIC! MY COUNTRY'S UNTOUCHABLE! $@#$!! you!" (At the same time, mounting a prolonged and successful invasion of any other country is just absolutely realistic to them)

No, i'm not talking about being untouchable (lol, i played to many WW2 games to say that), just saying it's a bit far away from the other conflicts somehow. But as i said, i'd love (from the map design) a few eastern european and even german villages and towns. Bit it would still bee a bit too much imo. I just dont like the idea of a third world war, we had enough...

I dont know how far in the future PR is exactly, but i always thought China would so far be the only big new thing, and the alliance of the MEC. Thought the new nato nations woulda join this conflict, and i even thought Russia to be in team 2 - but well, a timeline isnt a bad idea either.

heres a good city idea : taipai, the capital of taiwan, you could have it occupied by PLA, and the USMC is invading to get it back to the taiwanese. i guess you could say hypothetically that the taiwan military was defeated so you dont have to model them. you could use alot of the existing buildings in the game as well.

I agree, we need some western population centers. The problem is modeling statics, which could take a very long time, especially if someone is going to map a decently sized city. I would definitely like to see an MEC vs european/US military in either a european or american city. I know, no one wants a US city invaded, blah blah blah. But so far we've got a whole lot of US/GB invades the middle east/china, and nothing in the other direction. Maybe the russians could attack europe and a US unit could be defending a european city. But seriously, something with the US/UK armies defending for once.

Taipei is not a European city

and using the current statics would not be realistic because Taipei is filled with sky scrappers

Well, one alternative could be perhaps modding a reconisable country area in said western country -which in turn would probably not require too many statics. Chinese paratroops land in Britain's lake district for instance? (On relection though, this sounds rather like Armoured Fury's maps...)

perhaps the devs could ask OPK for a map, in exchange vs one of the militia maps, which would also fit in OPK i think

Pluizert · Post by **Pluizert** » 2008-02-04 12:48

or create a Paris-suburban-riot-map?

Maxfragg · Post by **Maxfragg** » 2008-02-04 13:45

bad idea, highly political uncorrect

Post by **Spec** » 2008-02-04 13:48

He was kidding about that i guess... And tbh, not more incorrect than blowing ied's yelling "allah is great" or something.

Statics. Exchange statics. OPK could give PR some enterable buildings in european village style, they have quite a few decent models.

i know he was kidding (even so im german and we are told to be humor free)

Post by **Spec** » 2008-02-04 19:44

Okay, sorry then^^ Didnt even notice you're german, thought you were french and maybe living in Paris or something like that - nvm

I was working on a map set on Unalaska Island, but i have put that on hold and am likely not going to finish it.

I chose that location because it was a change of scenery, yet there would be no custom buildings needed (it was a map where Canada/US had taken a beach, and had to push accross an open tundra plain, and up through some fortified hills to take an enemy air base).

So, a tundra map set in alaska/ an alaskan island could be a good idea.

Can we add a Western insurgent faction or something to that effect? Maybe an insurgency against the occupying PLA or MEC in some European city east of the front line?

How about Russia Invades Berlin they mount their attack through Ukraine, then the British or US forces (Only those because we have no Germans, otherwise it would be Germans) have to defend the city have it like a Push map. The UK/US forces are based in Rheindahlen as part of the Rapid Reaction Force.

Just an Idea?
