[Map] Sohar [WIP]

US Army v MEC

I'm making a few assumptions on this map, the largest being that the USA will be released in 0.8 and that they will have the Stryker. I don't think those are particularly big stretches. I'm also looking forward to being able to steal some 0.8 statics.

Anyhow, here is my reference pic:

This is a 1024x2 map.

My work plan is roads -> statics -> terrain. I know this seems backwards, but since it's mostly city and pretty flat I wanted to do the major stuff first.

Basically, a US unit has moved into the city of Sohar, and is holding it against an MEC counterattack until heavier elements (AKA tanks) can be moved forward. My goal is to give MEC a heavy armor advantage to try and smash the city with, while giving the US good spots to employ HATs from. Hopefully it'll turn into a hardcore infantry battle around the CPs, with a lot of space for flanking etc.

Here's my WIP:

Here's my overall flag plan (still very tentative):

The outposts will be CPs, RPs may or may not become flags, be combined, etc. Trying to keep the number of flags high enough for some push and pull during the game, but this is all a bit premature, as it doesn't really matter until the map is layed down anyhow.

Right now I'm still working on roads and experimenting with statics, but I've got most of the main roads down. Next I'm going to start laying down more of the neighborhood roads and get the statics down.

The google earth reference doesn't really look like a city. However it's a nice idea to put in US Army vs MEC and not another insurgency map lol. What could work out very well IMO is if you make a huge airport with huge warehouse/industry area with lots of containers and some open areas and some slums on the edge.

Holy cheese! The MEC are on the offensive! I really really like variety, and this I'm sure won't disappoint.

put down your road intersections before you do your roads... you will really regret not doing it first.
