[Map] Kandala Docks (2km) [WIP]

Just throwing some more ideas into the ring, since this is supposedly set in India, how about the British from the east and the MEC on the west for a good ol' fashioned ground battle by the sea?

I will fight for my homeland of India and defeat the british once again!

hehe.


All in all not sure how the mec will play out in india. Maybe insurgents but they speak arab as well.
Beats me but good luck with the map.

I think having the carrier docked could be quite cool. It would bring a new style of defense to PR. Could go horribly wrong tho lol. If you do it right then i'm sure it will be a great map.

Good luck,

Don't worry about the factions, like others said, just build the map. Besides, having a map based in India could possibly inspire some Indians to create a community faction. You never know

Looks like a great area, how big will it be?

If I go with insurgency there will be a few problems.

1. Why would the carrier be docked there if insurgents are in the area.

2.Why would the insurgents be there. I haven't heard of taliban or iraqi insurgents in india.

3.With the carrier docked so close to the action, its very vulnerable.

Having it docked is cool, but ill leave that idea for later. It doesnt fit in well with this map.



The alternative for the MEC map would be this:

With the USMC Carrier/British base in the bottom right corner, and the MEC base above the bottom left corner, near the yellowish rectangles.
This would be much more to scale, but still not completly accurate.


The port the map will feature is actually Kandla Port, the second largest in India.
So the Map should actually be called "Kandla Port", "Port Kandla", or "Kandla Docks", as Gandhi Dam is hardly part of the map.

Let this be a lesson to you all, RESEARCH, then come up with a name.


It will be a 2km map, but wont have the play area streching to the border.


The reason the MEC are there?
They have invaded this region of India. Not necessarily all of India, but this part, as it is not very central.

Im just starting the basic terrain in BF2 Editor now...

well, i guess carriers need to get supplies form time to time, especially if no support ship in near them, so, when its been peacefull until the carrier docked and the insurgents just started an uprise as protest agains the local goverment allowing a us carrier to enter their port, it sounds not to unrealistic to me

Looks like an awsome map.

If you had a carrier with thick black smoke coming out of it, and no/limited access to the interior, you might just get away with saying it had been bombed and then limped to the nearest port to be recovered later. Cue the US defending from the carrier/brits having a ticket bleed if they loose the carrier.

Anyway, make the map before you add any assets/teams to it. Dont even mention assets OR teams in this thread until you actually start to add them. Before you have finished making the map, you must break it. You must add so much detail that it can no longer run on your computer. Then you can remove some until you get satisfactory performance. You probably wont know which bits of detail will have the least impact until you have placed all of it.

Loose the main base on the mainland. Have the troops coming in from off the map, possibly with a hastily set up staging point or three. If you later add insurgents, remove the staging points too, insurgents do NOT operate out of a single base somewhere, they have homes dotted all over (Otherwise it simply is not an insurgency).

Loose most of the eastern side of the map, over the bridges. Its not going to be used and takes up valuble space.

Have just one carrier, if you must have a carrier. Dont have two of them.

Having the carrier bombed would be cool.

So the Carrier gets bombed, makes a forced docking, and once its docked gets attacked by the locals.

With that i could have the carrier leaning, like its half sunk, and a whole lot of black smoke coming out!

I would be really cool if i could ad this look to the carrier:

But that could take a while.


Anyway.. like u guys are saying, I should get the map built before I get the teams and stuff sorted out.

You wont be able to add that to the carrier. We cant edit the model. The closest you could get is some destroyed hardware (planes, helis, things to load explosives into them, etc).
