I play 4v4(noob) only so skip this if you are a 1v1 player. I agree most elements of the game need to be balanced towards 1v1. Mortar and arty need nerfed for this game to ever be popular.

OKW feel a little weak at the moment. OKW and Brits are supposed to be very strong at the start to take ground. Currently Sturms feel good, but Volks are meh and dont trade well against garbage units like cons. So you cant push people around at the start and then you have to face MGs and Mortars. Which you have to make a truck, drive the truck, set the truck up and since your INF is all suppresed and getting nuked you have no safe place to park your truck...You are now 2-3 minutes behind and are already losing the game. Volks need a better non doctrinal grenade or some smoke to counter the raping you receive early game. Luchs was your savior but that now has been nerfed. GG.

I expect the ebb and flow of the game is OKW/Brits push up and secure territory. Then get pushed back by MGs and mortars. Then regain with ISG/Luchs. Then get pushed out again by arty/cheap tank spam. Then regain with superior heavy tanks late game. Now it is just get raped until your heavy tanks come out and blobs gain enough vet to be useful(Vet 5?).

Back yard again

During early testing it seemed that when units were given the command to enter a building, a portion of the squad would begin to move toward the building. And the other group would stay where they were. And if there was cover nearby it seemed to keep them from ever trying to enter. Then some of the group that did move towards the building would come back for the lagging guys and they would bounce off of each other for a bit then sometimes enter. Sometimes not.

So you should also make a mental note of what was around the units when they were issued the command.

In the sample picture you see 2 models did not leave the cover by the red dot. And 2 models came back to get them.

More .org hype using my front yard as a backdrop.

So, if the script is still running, I could provide you with a list of maps used in custom maps, but basically only of those players that occasionally play ranked games.

Thanks for the response Siphon. Its not that important as the maps are already picked. I just remember seeing map stats etc for tournaments. I thought the data might be easily available thru steam or relic. I will have to PM you someday to get info on how to get stats. As I used to code in a former life

In this case all I can say, too bad for you mate. Most competitive players seem to dislike the map in automatch.

The map is not mine. I just browse the custom matches and see it in the list a lot. Usually being played against the AI. And it stood out that newer players like it.

I used to play annihilation COH1 against AI everyday with friends. None of them would ever play automatch. I have 100s of maps we would play everyday. Many of them are AI meat grinders. And they are the most fun for casuals. Some of the maps have Flak 88's all over for monster defense matches! I modded the game so easy AI had infinite resources and we would murder wave after wave of enemies! I see this map as being a good balanced map that has elements casuals can use for meat grinder matches. And making this type of play easy to navigate for new players could be key to growing the player base / community.
