take a look at the map in EW,it's a new map.
2 task groups.
alot of spawns.
and bases are not that far apart.
-
Short lived...hopefully it will be back.
That's my newest map. :)
-
what you mean short lived?
it looks good thow.
-
It's not in EW anymore. Baltic is up.
-
Looks like it's been yanked already? Baltic up now.
-
Had a slight config problem. All fixed now. But there are too many playing right now, so I will get it back up tomorrow. It is available in both Late War arenas already.

I HATE that map!
Joke... thanks.
-
Reminds me of the old map with the towns way far from the base.
-
Nice, but...
The problem I see is that the country to the right has limited CV capability to attack the country to the left. The left country has zero capibility to launch a CV attack against the right country unless they attack the center country first. The center country will get attacked by both.
Well, somebody had to biatch about something.
Nice map, can't wait to play, especialy for the center country since it will have the most naval action.
-
Cheers for your work NHawk, much appreciated as ever.
-
Thank you - the older maps were driving me nuts.
:aok

Anytime anyone complains about a player-created map, they should be forced to make one themselves. That would end that in a hurry.
-
:O :) :D :cool: :aok
YEAH!

Best look closer at the map. At the start of the map all countries can attack all countries by CV.

A new Map :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :O :O :O :eek: :eek: :eek:
OMG

10 days ago, I was reading a thread that contained many posts about the lack of new maps.
I was going to post a question or comment.
Then I realized that no one knew if and when any new maps would be forthcoming.
I emailed HTC and asked them.
Skuzzy was nice enough to reply that one was in the queue.
The reason for this post is to show that HTC can be emailed, and they reply in a timely manner.
I didn't post Skuzzy's reply because derailing conjecture seemd opposite to the spirit of the bulletin board.
:D
-
nice map nhawk
there will be a couple of more maps being sent to skuzzy soon by a couple of other map makers.
As always HTC have a lot to do at once and some thing s just have to wait
any new map has got to be good for the game,and thankyou Nhawk for taking the time too do it:aok
for thoese who don't like go make your own bloody one and see how easy it is or isn't:p

Sorry, my old tired eyes couldn't see the left countries port to the NE.
Yet another reason to make that initial optometrist appointment:O

Hee hee !!!
Thus speaketh someone who has obviously never attempted it!!!
I've spent at least 40 hours just learning to use the various myriad tools associated with map building, and at an estimate, will spend at least another 60-80 hours on the map I've been making before I'll have it "done" to turn it in to Skuzzy for review.
And then, who knows how much more time will need to be invested before it's acceptable - I've not done it before, and despite taking great care I'm bound to include stuff that won't work or play well.
Even when you've got all the shortcuts down, your tools organized, and don't make a lot of n00b mistakes, I don't see it taking less than about 30 hours of time to construct an MA map that works - and if you paint yourself into a corner so to speak, it might take a lot more.
And that's if you limit yourself to simply using the default terrain textures and associated clutter tiles.

Agree

Just tried it in Blue and i like it :)
Thumbs up! :aok
Now it only needs more players. Currently there are mostly milkrunners there.
-
KUDOS to the new map!
It was funny to see it christened today on LW Blue....

Full darbars double-team knight on both sides.

You wont make everyone happy. I hope you realize this, but I really appreciate the hard work that goes into this. I know it takes alot of hours. And the abuse you take is unforgivable. Just wanted you to know that the majority of players are thankful for being able to play online in a game that is SO DAMN ADDICTIVE.. So, without further explanation I am suing everyone for adding to my addiction and I demand $100,000 from each player currently active player. I feel this is only a small payment on my poor pathetic life.
:confused:
-
whats the maps name?I did not see one.
-
At A85 on the East side of the new map it shows a spawn into V67(NE).I have tryed all the spawns and no spawns go to V67.I can see the spawn line to V67 from A85 but i can not spawn into the V-base.I dont know if this is this an error in the game or was the spawn line not supose to be their.
-
Thanks NHawk
-
Got to play it tonight. Beautiful map. Thanks NHawk.
-
I really enjoyed the map. Very intresting stratagy. Moslty Furballed, but had a great time. Thank you :aok

Zoom in on the map. What you see is the spawn from A86 to V67.

Ya did great!
Most maps are WAY too mountain happy...
Yours is GREAT!

I lol'd at that.
Hurrah for new map! I can't wait to play it.
-
I haven't gotten a chance to see it online yet, but thanks. :aok
-
any chance it will be downloadable anytime soon?
:confused:

i think some Hub asked that and skuzzy said that it would be downloadable tomorrow(what he said yesterday).
-
It was a couple of days ago, actually, but no link yet on the terrain page.
-
I thought if you entered the arena that has the map in question, then you then have it in your cache and can load it offline? No?
-
Dang, the rooks always get screwed!
Here again, we are forced to fly uphill...always uphill.
Please put us on top once in a while!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Yeah, once you get the map online, by going into an arena that's using it, it will be available for offline play. The map is called montis
-
Yeah, I know that, Scotty, problem is, the map is not online now ;) and I'm very impatient! :D Btw, thanks for its name, I was wondering about that.
EDIT: Woot! Got it, finally! :)

Hehe yeah it's in LW Orange... Doesn't look like a reset is coming anytime soon.
-
Ok, I like this map, seems to be good and offer many chances of good fights. Thank you, Nhawk, you did a great job.
Just one thing: is there any area with high mountains? I love to fly in such areas. :)

Nhawk I like the overall feel of your map, but I think it limits the use of CV's for overall game strategy. That and it looking like the set up might cause a natural ganging up on the lower middle country.
I figured I'd toss of a simple idea on a re-arrangement of your map idea. Just something that puts the CV's more into play and maybe opens up the map a little more.
I've never mapped for AH, hope to in the future, but I've built maps for other games, so I think it's good for mappers to share ideas. So from one mapper to another, I wanted to post an idea for a revision or an idea for a second map based off your new one that would put the CV's more into play.
(http://www.crysis2019.com/img/temp/montis2.jpg)
of course the bases would need to be moved around a bit to make things even, but just wanted to toss up a general idea.

Great idea crockett !!!
To bring it to another level ... move the yellow HQ to 7,14 close to that airbase. Move the orange HQ in 15,9 a little closer to the airbase in 14,9.
Then, open waterways to each countries HQ so that a CV could cruise towards the HQs ... if they can sneak it in there. I would put multiple (more that 2) shore batterys in the bay areas in front of the HQs for protection until air support could arrive.
This would provide some other type of attack on HQ rather than deep bombing strikes and at the same time provide the need to pay attention to your HQ and defend the crap out of it.
As it is now ... if a deep bomber strike takes down HQ ... it can be resupplied before the bombers can land. Maybe with the ability to strike an HQ, and then have the ability strike the re-supply, it could provide more fun and urgency.
Just a thought.

Love the map, looks great! & I like the proposed improvements too. I just wish there was a way we could stop the tendency to horde. Just left the MA & I was a rook there. Seems rooks hording bish in west & knits hording rooks in the south. No idea whats up with knit/bish front but there was one, which is an improvement from last night.
I made 10 or so requests for assistance from rooks for the 3 full dar bars of knits steamrolling the south bases, but couldnt get the rook horde to snap out of there toolshedder mode.
AH = Aces Horde:(
-
I did find a couple good even fights, but they just dont last very long. Seems either 1 side or the other gets numbers advantage then the other side moves elsewhere.
-
loggd off for a couple hours, went back in & found lasting battles of relatively even numbers & had a great time. Go figure.

This is not a map problem.

Did you say anything about cold beer in the mess hall?
Thank you for the new map, NHawk! It was needed so badly.
