I am sure I get on HTC's nerves no doubt but I have made two large scale main arenas that have tried new things and been very well recieved by the community so I would hope that this map will get a chance to see play in the main arenas.
It is experimental just like my other maps were in that it has massive GV base chains that extend across each country and I am contemplating not having any spawn points to force the use of the vanishing c47 again. because of this I have decided to put field numbers for the bases on the clipboard map texture for legibility so the icon numbers can be turned off due to the closer proximity of the GV bases (5 miles) I believe that there can be a harmony in the way a map is played out by each faction of players that has their own style and gameplay preferences if you make a map that can combine the styles of the tank town tankers, strat guys and furballers just by aranging the areas they play in in a way that channels their efforts towards pushing the other country to a reset. This map might be able to do it by having a continuous tank town that stretches the length of the map. its been done before on small scale in festerma and ozkansas but the scale of this ground warfare environment is much larger.

will post a pic this evening when I have the south african and stalingrad looking area gv routes better drafted. the whole african coast and black sea area is being redrawn.


I am very carefully balancing the sides in a way that will give each side the same amount of bases to capture to own 40% of each side. the 3 uncapturable airfields will not disrupt the capture of 40% of the country from either oposing side so reset is easily doable.

all countries have the same amount of airbases on each of their two fronts.  I have divided the fronts so there is not a stalemate in the center because I want to try to make the front move and having bases connecting in the center will stall any movement of the front.


each country has 2 cities. 1 close to the front and one far from it. I like having the cities on the GV routes because only GV's can level them to 0% efficiently and its fun to level cities with GV's and being that there is two that is helpful in balancing the strat and they will make excellent tank towns that have strategic value worth fighting over.

Shaddup! Fester said the map was skewed a bit in order to get everything to fit. It's close enough given the scale that it could be Stalingrad in my daydream. :D

Fester, I'm thoroughly enjoying myself stopping in here in anticipation of seeing the results of your latest tinkering. This is going to be absolutely outstanding!

Best regards, Odd

Anyone,
   I think you may have misunderstood my post. I said multiple "towns", and that's what I meant. I didn't want additional "cities" to replicate these areas.

as promised heres a pic of the current state of the arena...

uncapturable bases have red border.

2 Carrier Fleets per country UK and Russia will loose their southern CV groups if they get kicked off the africa looking area.

Sides are Balanced all countries have same number of airfields on all sides and within 1-2 bases even numbers of gv bases on each front. This was harder than it looks.

Axis side is sandwiched in the middle of Africa on purpose. This can work for or against them. Major advantages to conquering africa  in having two CV groups.

GV base routes in place throughout the map

planning on having very minimal or no  GV spawn points (heck maybe a few who knows)

oh I could put  strat target at zadar but not a base.

any comments requests suggestions or questions welcomed

Looks nice fester and for the time and effort to put one of these together..

As far as input I would think an addition of 1 or 2 airfields in the North Africa region would be nice.

Also I see two CV's off of Rome but only one port is that even possible??

Fester...I see one glaring thing that will cause rejection of this map.

Airfields can't be as close together as they are by the HQs. To my knowledge, anything less than 3/4 of a sector is cause for immediate rejection.
Most of the people you meet in life are like slinkies. Pretty much useless, but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
