[WIP] Mozhaysk (6)

Map Deleted

Sup guys? This is my first map ever attended to make in the worldbuilder thingy. The map itself is a bit of everything, but mostly farm/forest. Originally the map was supposed to be a 2v2 but then I realized it was too fucking big so now it’s a 3v3 maybe it will end up being a 4v4 lets see. 

Description
There must be a special place in hell reserved for the Luftwaffe pilots.  Not even god could protect us from the flying demons. 
We've endured 2 days of air raids with no sign on letting up.  On the second day the Wehrmacht assaulted the town.
We fought hard and managed to hold them off, but they've gained a strong foothold on one side of the town already.
The Luftwaffe bombs hit the town cemetry, and as a result the remains of the deceased were unearthed.  I remember my sweet girlfriend Natasha.
She was only 20 when she succumbed to pneumonia.  I will always remember the red dress they dressed her in before they buried her. 
I saw her remains lying on the street the other day.  Yet, the right to stay alive to smell our dead  is already a priviledge. 
Many of my comrades were not so lucky.  A fresh recruit of only 16 years of age was hit by a strafing run the other day.
The rounds tore off his whole left leg, but didn't kill him.  No one dared to go out and pull him into cover.  The screaming went on for a whole
10 minutes before our commisar took his pistol and silenced the young lad.

The development is currently in a freeze, once my laptop stops overheating or vacation fineally is reachable i will present you more updates and finish the map (hopefully)

Special thanks to my fellow Sublime comrades Yauz and Glimz for testing, ideas and support. And Seeme for early WIP suggestions and feedback.

Yes this is my first coh map, it started as a learning by doing project im really happy how it has come along now - hopefully it wont end up sucking hard  ;D great maps you made aswell, been playing them in the latest EF patch and getting a little inspiration to lift my design breakdowns... feel free to add some suggestion or ideas, and thanks again for the kind words.

Great look snugz! Welcome back too :)

yes it looks nearly finished for a "first attempt" :D

A couple more pix.


A closer look at a small part of the village. The village is placed in the center of the map


Just outside the axis starting locations.


A woodloggin camp + oil depot that im currently working on.

Nice Map, pls put in the official release
i expect a very nicely balanced map from you guys  :D
any chance we can have a peak at the sector layout?

The only problem is have is it all looks a little too... square. Try rounding a few edges or placing the buildings at a different angle. I see the hedges near the road look good but the actual artificial structures look too neatly placed.

put some holes into the wooden fences
a luftwaffe bombardment should do some damage to those flimsy things

try to make 2 entrances on the fields, not only 1. Add something, like crater or destoryed car, broken fence...

Am i allowed to suggest some ideas?

I would remove the wooden fence around the corn fields.

I wouldn´t place any tank traps, because some of them are bugged (can´t crush)

Can you add a bigger hall to your lumber camp, otherwise the wood is cut outside? (Only adding a idea of another thread here, where the factorys must have some function you can see ;) )

So its gonna be a 3vs3 map?

Can´t wait to test it :D

Good Job. You really improved from the beta you gave me :)

like a boss. looking forward to the release
depressing description though.

Some of the original maps have diary-like descriptions, like Semois

So its time for a update! I have removed most of the hegdes, and reworked some areas, and added some minor stuff ... progress atleast

The MILK FACTORY (Early WIP Screen) ! Yes this is a little soviet milk factory that used to process milk from the cows of the sorounding fields. After the Wehrmacht attacked the area the milk factory has been transformed into a ruined fortress with a high strategic value


Reworked stuff


Dead cows equals no more milk  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(


A Wehrmacht plane shot down by the soviets.


The soviets are some sneaky bastards, they blew a hole into the wall and dug a trench that leads into the factory.

I like what I see very much. Though I think there needs to be more holes in the fences. :)

Can't wait to try this one.

I didn't realize SU had milk farms :3. Nice works anyways

In SU you don't milk cows, cows milk you ;D

looks great! using the dead cows for cover will be screenshot-worthy.

Milk factory needs a little more rubbble inside it I think, since it's collapsed and all. Looks great otherwise. I like the idea of the cows. Reminds me of an early CoD 1 mission.

Yea the milk factory is still at a early stage, im gonna fill the area with rubble and craters and other details so it will look pro, right now its very basic and clean.

EDIT small update, more texture for the milk factory

Well I mean animal lovers :P. And if Im correct Indians consider cows sacred. Not being sterotypical thats what I was told in school back then :P

hmm. i know what you mean. i guess if they dont like it they can complain and then well change it. but even "they" have to realize that whether they like it or not, cows die.

Hey guys im back with a minor update on my map. After getting some good feedback from the pictures, i decided make some more damage to the fields and fecens as suggested. Oh and a few more trenches  ;D  ;D  ;D

Awesome work  ;).

Looking good. Great to have you back working on this. Can we expect playtests to begin soonish? It might be able to make it into the next patch.

Grr... I spotted something. You probably placed a wrecked pak which can be salvaged.

Thanks Dennis! TBH i don't really know when the map will be rdy. The problem is that i have very high expectations to myself when mapping, and i usually make something and then decide to deleate it again  :-[ For instance im gonna deleate the whole milk factory now because i dont feel it fits the map, and i got a new idea for something better.

I placed the "pak38_MapObject" I can't remember is that salvageable aswell? Nice spot there Walki, gonna test later to see if its a problem.

Keep it up!  Its much better than some other scrubs who just release total shit and then make excuses about how EF needs noob maps.  Grrrrrr!!!!

QFT! That mentality is vital for a good mapper ;)

@ Snugz: a little update
