COH My map preview

[Arctictiger Profile]

After seeing the amazing maps of Rhino and Rafterman it inspired me to try and make a map myself. I spent a couple of days just messing around on Worldbuilder until i finally came up with my idea. The inspiration for the design came from several different maps but mostly Montherme and Hedgerow Siege. Although i rarely play those maps, i like the way the map is made and the detail that is in both them. What i wanted to do was make a 3v3 map, with a river in the middle. The river would seperate players 1 and 2 from 3, and would seperate players 4 and 5 from 6.(Kinda like Montherme) but heres the twist. Instead of it being a 2v2 and 1v1 on both sides of the river, it will be a 2v1 and 1v2. I would like to imagine that this would create great PvP matches and comp stomp games. Findind the right set up is hard, and then trying to make sure each side is equal just adds to it. I think i will put the highest fuel points closest to the play alone. But my idea is for the teams to have to decide whether to help out the player across the river, or just try and attack and knock off the player on the other side faster than the other team knocks off their own teammate across the river. So far 5 bridges, 2 vehicle bridges destoryed by each teams base, 2 footbridges closer to the middle, and then one vehicle bridge in the middle. I have yet to think of a name yet, so if any ideas feel free to suggest. Any if any ideas or suggestions for the map feel free to address.

Isnt this the forum where Rhino's and your map can be found?

His is in here yes, but mine's in the CoH forum. I'm not sure if a map really counts as either graphics or artwork. This forum's purpose is more for sharing graphic design type of stuff or requesting avatars, sigs, etc.

Any ideas on a map name though? That is one thing i have no creative skill at all.

[MajorFullWood Profile Website]

"A River Runs Through It"?"

[Arctictiger Profile]

"A River Runs Through It"?"

I dont like the word "it" in the title..
So "a river runs through her" ???

But seriously maybe rural montherme, river runs through farm, a nice big river runsthrough farm??

Heres more screenshots of progress on the map!

bada bing

[Arctictiger Profile]

I really need to post more screenshots soon cause I have made great progress in the map. I added a small town/city, a graveyard, a couple more farms, another manor, forests(for realism and to narrow map for natural chokepoints), an industrial zone.

What needs to be finished?
1. Industrial zone- the organization of this zone is extremely difficult as I got to make the layout.. Well like perfect..( im extremely OCD about this map)
2.Allies bases- I need to work on putting hedgerows and/or forests to contain the building bases zone.
3.Town/city- one part of the town is done but the other half...needs work
4. Placements of resources( I may need help with this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
5. Placement of VP's.(in order for Ted to play this, I must have these somewhere....No idea though)
6. Alpha test of map verus computers( mainly testing the balencing of sides and the resources.)
7. Play a real human vs human match and see if she plays well.


I will try and get screenshots up tomorrow or soon. I love the graveyard, I spent a couple hours on it just getting the placement of trees and the tile color mix just right. I also made a plane in a building, I was bored and it was fun to do.

Sounds good man. Can't wait to see the update photos!

Looks good, man, keep it up. How close to Beta is it?

[Rafterman Profile Website]

Pretty damn sweet man. For a little extra, I'd like to see some damage to that building that the plane crashed into. If you don't know how to add building damage, I'll be happy to show you how the next time we're on TS.

Looking niiiiiiiice.

I have some damage in the building, maybe its from the angle of the screenshot that you cant see it but ill try and post another picture of it.

And thanks

Heres another attempt to take a picture of it.

Dang! Very nice young man!

Add one dead Gerry in the graveyard, and I will be satisfied.

Do those markers in the cemetery provide cover for infantry?

Thats the plan. I would love to see an infantry battle take place in there

I just saw your post.. Thanks!I really dont know cause I dont know how long it will take to make the resources( Idk how yet so i gotta watch some tutorials first). I think im over 75% complete on the foilage and buildings.
