Riflemen weren't/aren't bad. They were just inefficient for a while there because you could field more effective early game units from the get-go before the rounds of nerfs hit.

Ass Engies originally could be called in immediately for instant field presence. Can upgrade a Flamethrower at half the cost of Double Bars for garrison denial and improved CQC effectiveness. While having access to Demo Charges to instantly wipe squads when placed correctly.

Not only that, but Pathfinders had the same instant field presence, could be vet 3 in a couple minutes of basic infantry fights, have a pseudo-sniper for wounded squads forcing early med bunker/med-kit on top of being upgradable with double Bars for terminator potential. Plus your doctrine had Paratroopers to shore up any infantry trouble you might have going into mid-game.

Thing was, the only thing you traded was the ability to snare on all your infantry, so you just built a single Rifle if you thought you needed a snare.

After the "starting on cooldown" nerf both those squads received and the veterancy nerf that pathfinders got hit with they're a lot more in-line with Rifles.

Hi! So this is Deuxpont. Back in Mid/Late March I had a burning desire to create a map with a river, but I didn't want to just make some Compstomp map with a bridge in the middle that has been done a million times before, so I opted to create a map where the river sliced the map in halves for both players from roughly Base to Base.

Once I had a concrete plan in mind the map came along fairly quickly, from April 2nd to the 5th I banged out the design and layout of the map to essentially what it is now besides some minor aesthetic details and some bug fixes. Then I spent the past 2 days setting up a presentable workshop page with intent of sharing here.

Being a fairly new map I'm hoping to get some criticism and am open to mass sweeping changes if necessary. Considering that this map is quite "out-there" design wise I am hoping to see how it plays by more than just my small friend group. So I'd love to see any replays of the map in action sent my way.

Up until now I've really only made maps for my friendgroup and as a personal hobby but assuming I get some good feedback, maybe some map-making tips, and perhaps even some compliments I'm open to posting some other (more traditional) maps that I've made.
