-part of real historical battle in the East
-map could be converted to a "winter-map", also
-the town in the far backround was original named by this tiny river....



Hoping this helps

SSonne

another helping point:


-the "towers" in the city beyond are quite looking like grain silos



So what is the name of that city and how is the valley/river called then (mapname)?

The "Valley" is better called a "Balka"




PS @ Partyzan:

It's Stalingrad (and it's name today is Wolgograd)

Today,
I decided to give my baby a name:

Zariza Balka

(sounds better than "valley" )


and the mapping goes on and on.......

SSonne

I should've realized when he mentioned "Tsarista"

yes maybe you are right? or maybe not ...
but If its not the best fucking and greatest map of the world then you will be wiped with toilet paper
make this sense? not at all  :P

...so I should stop mapping deleting everything?!
This would be your way, probably  ;)
Going wiped away with toilet paper wont be a new experience to me....  (its not that ugly everybody says) 
But if I only had time completing this map instead of doing anything else....
So please stay tuned.....


Isnt anybody waiting for something, not?!  :)

c`mon I don`t be a mapper I put only the requirements^^
and btw I don`t have the tool to be a good mapper because I am not very patient  :P

keep it up  :)

its been some time ago,

since I deleted almost everything to make a restart of this fine project  8)

Today, id like to present you some pics of my progress.... Map is very playable, but lacks 80% of splats, objects and grass-features....
enough the words (and my spelling)


I didnt like the original VPs, so I stamped them all into the ground:



Hasnt anybody seen this tent before? ;)





Tactical map update:






And a loading screen, done while I was getting tired to the mapping process:









please wait for more infos & pics to come  :)
