Hi
I just played a quick skirmish on the map. I like the look of it, looks like you put in some good work. It was fun.

What I liked:
- few resource points, leads to infantry play, which I like.

What I think could be improved.
1 - Minimap sizing (but you already know that issue).
2 - I think the island will need more flanking options. A few mgs or bunkers could lock it down. Or tank traps at the bridges (a la Achelous River) using the new defensive docs. That will kill the fun quickly. Better to open it to vehicles, which would still be in the theme I think you're going for. The urban setting will still make it tough to navigate tanks and will favour infantry, but larger bridges will be tougher to lock down and could lead to less defensive play.

Anyway, that's my two cents. Take it for what you think it's worth.

Cheers, thanks again for putting in all that effort on the map.

I also experienced stucking of units on the bridge... some parts of map are nice, some are not. Work on it and put the bridge more far away from the main bases

Ye, troops get stuck when they retreat because there's just 1 footbridge left on each side. I will probably add some again.
But too many bridges will make the capturing of the middle town much too easy what I did not intend there.

Update #2 out.. but it can still happen that the AI gets stuck on the infantry bridges 'cause it's just not shifty enough to handle both retreatment and incoming new troops on the bridge at the same time.^^
Well, a proper mortar bombardment can fix this quickly :P

Mh.. I must admit that the minimap is not 100% perfect but if you have the latest version of the map there should be no problems, I just checked it myself :/
If you mean that parts of the factory are black because it's out of the map that's true and planed.^^
Putting the whole factory into the playable area was just to much.
However, the minimap should work fine..

I definitely like this map,points are placed very carefuly and there is not too much of them like in the other custom maps... but the place where i see the problem is "the island" there are just too may buildings which you may enter, almost every one of them, i would place just some visual unenterable buildings and only few of them i would make enterable, and in the middle of square i would completely delete all the buildings there and place there something like park or something with covers, that would be nice

I advise everyone who has puplished his/her map here before on Steam Workshop to leave a note or copy right linked with your steam account, in case somebody uploaded your map on Workshop.
This makes it much easier for Steam to comply your copy right violation request.
