@black_elk said in Working on a New Map 40/41: Seeking Suggestions:
perhaps with some map making type tutorials in the same way that Pact of Steel 2 taught how to create an xml and such
:+1:
The compression really murders it.
I just upload to rapidshare.de etc
whatever file
don’t matter if its 10MB
what are those greyish worm looking things?
It’s so compressed. Those are rivers.
It still looks like an easy run to Moscow!

I cant see anything… can i get a larger pic? I hope you added Malta The territories are mostly great, but then again its hard to tell.
@Imperious:
also we need to add Malta to the phase 3 map. It was a very strategic point.
I feel that gibrater and Malta should have more significace in the game than territories devoid of value. The loss of either would have major problems for england.
oh just add Malta and give it interdiction abilities like our Gibratar
Ok fine.
and you can put units at Malta just like Gibraltar right?
of course… but gibrater and malta need soem defense after all they are fortresses of sorts… say that in these locations you need 2 hits to kill a unit… that like double defense or you can go triple defense?
Malta is there but, the picture is so compressed you can’t tell.
after all they are fortresses of sorts… say that in these locations you need 2 hits to kill a unit
yeah we could do that
but gotta define
how many units the fortifications can hold
how many units the little piece of land can hold
which units (I say only INF) gets the 2-hit-to-kill bonus
eg.
Malta
*10 friendly land units
*3 INF takes 2 hits
Yes only infantry… but it really does not matter… nobody is gonna put tanks in Gibrater… 2 hits per unit is fine… stacking limit makes sence … say 3 units in malta/ gibrater… stacking limits on small islands should be at 3-6 units max… prob 3-4
which other “small islands”?
like Wake and Midway?
Yea all pacific islands sake Japan and aus. it may be too complicated and maybe we should stick with just malta and gibrater. what you think?>
I would refer to numbers
Solomon Islands 28,450km^2
Malta 316km^2
Gibraltar 6.5km^2
Wake Island 6.5km^2
Midway ~5km^2
Caroline Island 3.76km^2
I would then limit
Gibraltar, Wake, Midway, Caroline
to 3 units
Malta (population today 400,000)
to 6 units, 3 with garrison ability
Will you make it possible to add the new maps to abattlemap?
Lets just make them all the same… say 3 units max stack… that way its simple.
yeah ok 3 units max for Gibraltar, Wake, Midway, Caroline and the new Malta
whats abattlemap?
OK the new map for phase 3 is basically done. I added finland at 2 ipc and norway is at 1 ipc, 2 pacific islands got 1 ipc each ( caroline/ solomons)
Australia is 2 territories 1 ipc each… added all new VC cities…
one problem the japanese capital of Manchuria ( manchukuo is Hsinking and not Changchun… you may need to change the name on the file for the draft.
added all neutral ipc values and changed all neutrals to white color.
Spain and her colony are a light brown … so if you attack rio de oro you are attacking spain as well.
anything else?
ok changing to “Hsinking” for Manchuria
actually no! I don’t think Spain should be light brown just to show Spain / Rio De Oro combo
this is a tiny thing and not worth introducing a different color
just make a small note to remain players
(like “U.S. Supported…” and “Free French…” message)
email me both the latest phase 2 and phase 3 maps plz
I wanna see other details like Turkey/Balkans and Black Sea
