[FINISHED] 2v2 - Battle of Mahiljou - (Hotfix 2)

This is my second map für Eastern Front. It represent a region near Mahiljou, which was conqured by the Germans in 1941. There is a lot of open terrain like on Kursk etc. ;)

For me It still looks like a WIP. There are just to much clear areas. Try to add some grass or If you do not want make it a snow map :P.

Hi walki,

The map is still WIP. I forgot to mention that. More grass and other details will follow.

I know how to add more grass types. Look at picture 5. ;)

looks so similar to the EF map ive been working on for the last few months.

anyway looks good.

Thats what I thought...looks really similar to Snug's in-the-making 2v2 map.

Don't worry ive been reworking it so we dont come out with 2x allmost similar maps :D i guess it means we both have a good taste  8)

Quotei guess it means we both have a good taste  8)

Yes! ;D
I think the main problem in Eastern Front is that the mod is full of good and varied maps. There a many people who have/had the same idea like you. So there could be paralles to other maps.  But i´m sure our maps will be different. You´ are right.

map looks good =)
looking forward to playing another map by you

I love peoples maps, So Plentiful with objects and so creative- Yet so unprofessional.

The Open Beta has been relased. Look at the first post. ;)

Like I've already said elsewhere, this map looks really great, I hope it will be included within the next few Patches.

beagletank, nice work yet.
Keep the good work up ;)

Regards, Mystic

looks good

Any new map is good

A new update is available. ;)

this is a great map, but the HQ sectors are terribly squashed!

Can you spread them out a bit? at least give me enough room to build all my buildings :(

Great map otherwise, i love the little railway village, you got the gardens and etc very nicely.

Yes, you are right. The HQ sectors aren´t very big. I overworked position one and two. (three and four will follow)
What do you think? ;)

still not enough I think

looking very good but the resource layout could need some work.

the resources in the "bottom" left corner are very clumped together, causing some serious issues with inf capping, then being bottled into the corner by defending inf manning the field wall adjacent.

Numerous times Ive done this, sitting 1-2 MHT's behind my inf line and pounding the crap out of the capping inf, who must then retreat through my lines.

Re HQ - i'd seriously look at spreading them apart, 1 sector between them. Two close is also an issue with arty bombardments hitting both bases at once.

This is a potentially map, but there are some "serious" issues that need to be addressed first.

Greta work, I love the style :)

Hi all,

There will be a big update in the next days. Every HQ got his own position (with enough place for every building) and i overworked the ressouces with the help of neroleone also.

Looks nice now but I think that there are too much mg bunkers for every HQ sector.

You are right, but the HQ of player two (picture 3) was placed in a very open area, so I think 4 mg bunkers are enough. It would be unfair if the other players couldn´t use also 4.

Poor Brits & PE players ;D!

Why poor pe? Our HTs will just race past those silly little MGs :D

Because if you will start with 4 bunkers, PE & brits ones need 3 pop each one. 4x3= a lot of wasted pop ;D! I know that they're needed to protect the flanks, but for those factions represent a great deal.

Ok, the (hopefully) final update has been published. I reworked the northern flank of HQ 2. So every player will use only 3 mg bunkers. ;)

edith: A little hotfix has been published.

:O!!! Looks like in the next CoH patch, PE's HQ flaks won't cost population.

Hmm,that is good for the PE. ;D
Does you know if the map will be included in some future patches?

i like your map!

I already had this map in my EF archives but i wasn´t shown ingame in the map list. I had to extract it to ...\mygames\companyofheroes\ww2\scenarios\

Any reason why?

Because its not added to Eastern_Front.module yet ::).

Let's hope that in the next patch some new maps will be added.

Let's make a mapping conquest! :D

Played this map 2 times and its great! Feels like somewhere in russia with the village of wooden buildings (not france style houses). I hope it will be included in the next patch!

Not played it yet but will. I expect great things

Please do, we need better maps. No chokepointy poop or overly crowded urban spaces... nice open maps with decent resource layout, cut offs, opportunities for flanks, all that jazz.

Think competitive... not comp-stomp 8)

roger that! I'll start today. However it's really hard to find good names to maps  :( or I have just too small knowledge. Could any of EF historicans give some name to use?

Best place to look through is the Eastern Front wikipedia page, look for names of places, operations or offensives where conflict took place.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Front_(World_War_II)

Also, there are current maps that need reworked imo. Just do what you want to do, we can rename maps, but I personally would like to do the larger, more famous battles justice with better maps (Kursk, Stalingrad, Prokhorovka, Kharkov, Orel, Smolensk etc etc etc etc) (Sorry to anybody who made those maps... not that they're bad, but we'd like them to be more competitive)

I actually think Smolensk is my map, it was renamed from Psel to Olshanka, then to Smolensk, and we haven't changed it back. But feel free to do anything.
