Kalach (3v3)

Perfect map for EF :).

yeah the maps looks so nice

just hope that its not to big with too many objects on it so it starts to be a map which laggs on many pc´s like Zhytomyr

but im sure maxi knows how to handle this :D

I'll test it this evening, let's see what will come out. Would also love to see this in a possible Stalingrad campaign.. It just looks like to be born to be a campaign map, also size-wise (640x320 playable area).

this sounds good^^

btw the game this evening
we make a 2vs2 on the 3vs3 map or a real 3vs3?

Not this evening, I think I'll first send it back to cephalos so that he can take a look at it and check my work, then he will probably want to test it, too.
Work isn't finished when every part of the map is finished, it will still need some minor improvements here and there.
Map should be filled by 10PM GMT though (means 0:00 for us in Germany).
Then I will probably test it, improve some things and send it to ceph.

QuoteWinter forest and frozen pond - could be almost romantic if it wasn't a computer game

Don't underestimate the power of videogames, man. ;)

And i think every map needs a "fortified whatever". ;D

This is great work, Maxi & cephalos. Really fucking great. I think you both need 'Mapper' badges. :P

I would have gotten one if I wasn't translator already, thus the Donator badge also doesn't show. Imagine me to have all three banners like you have your double donator badge ;D

If I understood blackbishop right, every map is added in that doesn't harm Mystic's rules and has a certain quality. Kalach has this quality so I'm sure it will be added in.

Because all of you love the fortified whatever, I'll post another screenshot of it in some minutes before I finally finish Kalach.

:)

Maxi has already one, and I don't need 'Mapper' badge to make maps  :P

Thanks! :D

Cool, yo! O0

I see no reason you can't have all 3 badges, Maxi. :P

Let's see.. because it would look strange?  ;)
Badges don't matter to me anyway.

Edit:

Modified gate to the tractor factory.

You deserve them, Maxi. ;)

By the way, any idea what that text says in the screenshot?

That's awesome! :D

You never fail to impress XD

haha Maxi, Pylewski rulez  8)

He's everywhere, from the Normandy to Stalingrad. Worldwide business. ^-^

ahhhhhh its fucking awesome^^

cant wait to test the map :D

Progress Report #10

Ladies and gentleman,
I'm proud to announce that Kalach is almost done. The map is filled completely and I only need to wait for cephalos to tell me some of his ideas to create a sector layout.
When the sector layout is done, the map will be tested by the chosen few (two free slots remaining!).
The next update will contain the tactical map, some ingame shots and the loadscreen.
Here something for you to stare at:

It's done.


The road leading past the fortified something


Everyone needs wood when it's winter!


Zey won't enter our territory!


Starting position 6 with some snowy fields. Nothing to grow here..


Starting positions 4 and 5 behind some fortified hills



And here some eye candy:

Pytlewski with two workers in front of his factory (because he's awesome)

Nice! What units are they in that last picture?

Partizans type 2 and 3. ;)

Fantastic man, superbly detailed, can't wait to test it.

ekhm... hey, don't throw everything on me! You have your part in making it too. That's why I think the map should have description: Created by Cephalos & MaxiKing6 - because without Maxi this map propably wouldn't be ready.

Is work of a quarter of the map's size really worth that?  :-\

Killar wrote:

Granted! ;)

Yes. ;) Don't be so modest, Maxi. :P

It's not about quarter, it about finishing map. My fellow WB would happily screw all my hard work with smile on his bit-face, and map wouldn't be completed. That's why I think your name should be there too.

thx  ;)

so with killar we would be 5 right?

Meh, I really don't care. It's ok for me in every way. AFAIK there are no typical EF loading screens being done anymore since the initial release.

PS @cephalos:
If you've got the map and look at in the WB, try switching off the water in the View settings and look at the bottom of the river ;)

Yep.

Official testing team consist:
me  ::)
MaxiKing6
Cranialwizard
Killar
evilSpike
... have I forgot about somebody?

Burro maybe?  :P

if he agrees, why not?  :D

I'll do the tactical map and the first testing tomorrow. After mapping several hours since two days now, my brain needs to rest.
Make sure to come back tomorrow for Progress Update #11.

" i finish your map, too"  ;D

Nice one Maxi! Cant wait to play it

Teams:

MaxiKing6
Cranialwizard
Killar

VS

Cephalos
Evilspike
???(Possibly Burro?)

This sound good or should we mix it up like this?

Maxiking6
Cephalos
Killar

Cranialwizard
EvilSpike
??? (Possibly burro?)

I think the first constellation is the better one. Each team should get one member who knows the map.

Sounds good, looking forward to it :D

I can test, sure. I'm in all day, add me on steam or something.

So we got our testing team.

Teams:

MaxiKing6, Cranialwizard, Killar
Cephalos, evilSpike and Burro

all now what needs to be done is the map  ;)

Nice to have you in.  ;)
I just need to adjust some minor things and do the Relic style tacmap, then it's ready for testing.

Thought I was in the beta!

Guess I posted to late :P

I think I'll be ready in 2 hours too.

TacMap should be done by then, I only need the details layer.

9:00 forum time? ok

Edit: then i have time left to mow the my lawn  ;D
