(6-8) Road To Arnhem

:micdrop:

1. Select OBJECT PLACEMENT from the toolbar.


2. Navigate to BUNKER MARKER.
3. Place object on map.
4. Set the owner of the bunker under PLAYER ASSIGMENT (red arrow) after placed. Or use the default section.
5. Rotate as you would any object for best MG coverage.
6. Each army has slightly different bunkers so they may show up in different places at runtime.
7. Make sure your bunker IS NOT OUT OF BOUNDS! Common mistake made by all.

What I hate about new ango is the excess of shot blockers and blindspots. The excess objects need to either be cleared away somewhat, or pushed together, or made destructible or replaced with cover.

Perfect timing. I was just looking at how close Angoville and Crossroads are. Crossroads everyone loves. Angoville 50/50? Maybe too soon to tell.

Both maps are shaped like a cross. With hedgerows or objects creating divides North/South and East/West. Both maps have a building on the souths cutoff point.

CROSSROADS:
- RED lines show north side E/W passages thru the cross.
- BLUE lines show south side E/W passages.
- YELLOW lines are east side N/S passages.
- GREEN lines are the west side N/S passages.
There are four quadrants of the cross approximately 90+ meters in length. Bases trim two quads down to about 65+ meters. These quadrants are mostly free of sight blocking entities.


NEW ANGOVILLE:
Here you can see the same cross pattern as crossroads. However, there are many more sight blocking entities in each of the quadrants. The entities create smaller engagement areas within the quads. Where Crossroads has a typical engagment area of about 60+ meters. There are areas in Angoville below 45 meters if you take the additional sight blocks into the equation. It must be noted that Angoville is larger than Crossroads so the engagment areas are not as small as they appear in the pictures.


It is clear that there are too many sight blockers from player feedback. Most engagement areas were designed around 45 meters minimum except the right side munition. Blocks there were just so a single MG cant hold the whole side.

Form the feedback it looks like a possible solution would be to remove some items and relocate others. You can see how the original GREEN blocks were mirrored with the added RED blocks.
1) Move RED lined blocks more north(YELLOW) to block garage and keep mirroring line with GREEN.
2) Remove large trees by right fuel.
3) Reduce size of blocks around the right munition.
4) Remove the center shed or relocate more north to act as block.
5) Remove the MAGENTA blocks that are used to reduce building/MG strength.
6) Merge the BLUE hedges. Will make buildings stronger but will create more space.

OPTION 1


OPTION 1 COMPLETED
- Shed still here. But moved. Could be removed completely.
- Newly clumped blocks by right buildings could be reduced in size some more.


Just food for thought. How similar the two maps are yet one is the best map ever made and one is complete dogshit.

Got a new monitor and had to try it out.
