[Map] Russian Farmlands (2km) [WIP]

Machin1st · 10-24-2009, 10:36 PM

Most PR battles take place in exotic or dramatic mountainous places. I have always felt the need for a rural/forest map without steep hills and mountains, HUGE industrial compounds and HUGE bases/bunkers. Just a plain countryside map with some mixed terrain far away from the jungles of asia and the deserts of the middle east!

Map Name: Russian Farmlands ( Subject to change )
Map Size: 2km
Map Region: West Russia
Map Factions: Undecided vs Russia ( Not the chechens )
Map Focus: Infantry / Mechanized Infantry
Assets: APC's, Trucks, Cars etc ( possibly tanks but no air ).

Please note that the map is not a copy of an actual location, but more a general deciption of the area.

The "minimap" / sketch of the area is still subject to change and nothing is final. The minimap is not to exact scale.

The Idea is to create a map with lots of features, mixed terrain and strategically diverse gameplay while still maintaining a small size.

By mixing open ground with forests the way illustrated above I hope to provide a somewhat safe way for infantry to get from point A to B without making a big non-vehicle-friendly forest out of the entire map.

Some things that I plan to include:
A medium sized factory / industrial area.
Several multi building farms.
A town.
A smaller village.
A railway, possibly with a tunnel.
A Swamp.
A Part inaccessible to vehicles.
Several bridges.
Fields/farmland/Pasture.
Forests of varied density.

All thoughts and feedback will be taken into consideration!

This project might take a while

I'll keep you updated on my progress.

And finally a bunch of reference/inspirational images:

Hmmm this is a cool idea. Don't go for the chechens with this though... I'd go with Brits or possibly one of the community factions? Good luck with this project.

nice plan, if your photoshop skills are as good as your mapping then will be worth keeping an eye on this

Machin1st · 10-24-2009, 10:46 PM

Dont worry, i have no intention of puting the chechens in there

I'd like to put the brits in there but i havent made up my mind nor gotten very far with the mapping :P

srsly, i actually think it would make the map cooler.

what about a lake?

Ye I know what you mean thou, most maps either have a river or sea and some even have both

1. German vs Russia
2. Brits vs Russia
3. USA vs Russia

I think 1 of those could work quite well for your map.
And i like the maps that are around rural areas, feels WIC like

Thought the same.

Good layout / plan... hope it will turn out well

Thanks everyone!

Hopefully it will turn out well since i have an awesome community to back me up and give me advice

The river stays, but if this turns out allright I might accept you challange next time!

Arjan: Since the german forces are likely to have been released by the time i finish, why not!

But! Since the Mod's are removing a few brit-maps in 0.9 I'd say the brits deserve this one as of today...
