[Map] Yalu River (1km) [WIP]

[[R-DEV]AfterDune]

I've started working on another map for our faction. Have a lot of other stuff to do, so I think it'll take some time to see some real progress on this one.

Mapname: Yalu River
Mapsize: 512x2
Gamemode: CnC, AAS
Forces: DAF vs PLA
Real life location: Border of Dandong, China / Sinuiju, North Korea
Description: In PR, this will be an urban map with the Yalu river running through it. There is one large/long bridge which forms a critical control point. Next to the bridge, there's another one that was bombed by Americans (way back in the days). Both parties will be wearing urban outfits, that includes the PLA.

Which part of the Yalu river? My family are from around there, if you're going to try and portray Dandong (only important point round there- direct rail links to citites with military bases and airports e.g. Anshan, Shenyang) apart from crossing the river. Then try and badger someone into making the bridges across the Yalu river there. There isa brand new bridge and the old one which the americans bombed during the Korean war - which the chinese still maintain on their side of the river. But then again, Dandong is a bad place to try and cross - the bridge is relatively long so consider using boats too. Also, on the NK side, the most interwsting thing is this old ferris wheel which has apparently never been used - sort o a propaganda thing that doesn't work.

If you're gonig for somewhere upstream, there is mostly a distinct difference between the NK and CHinese sides of the river in terms of architecture - but the only problem of going north is that introducing any armour would be a bad idea as it gets very mountainous and makes no sense to bring armour into the area just for the river basin assault.

@Chimpyang

If you can supply us with pictures of all those things it will be most helpfull.

[[R-DEV]AfterDune]

Chimp, yes, the focus is Dandong. I couldn't recall the name of the city earlier, but yes, that's the focus. First post updated with more specific information, including a satellite pic of the area (Ice! ).

Looks very interesting, but are you sure you have the statics to create a chinese urban map?

[[R-CON]Rudd]

^ yeah, are you gonna use the kind of stuff from Sunset city or maybe some reskinned Muttrah statics?

[[R-DEV]AfterDune]

Everything is still very much in the works and early wip, but yes, initially it will have a Sunset-look.
The cities Dandong and Sinuiju look different, so will try to make that visible in the map as well.

Offtopic:
Good . Now that the DAF build is 0.85 compatible, it's time for us to see if we can plan a beta to test the mod as well as the map.

Yay!
