Map Ideas Thread

In addittion to my suggestion above I´d like to see a map where you can only spawn in the main base. The other flags must be attacked and held, but you will not be able to spawn at them.

Addittionaly you should be able to spawn a limited number of people in APCs and similar troop transports.

Idealy the map would be large and have a clear frontline so it would work well with my map concept above.

You actually just described spawn system in a BFE-WaW custom map called Operation Barbarossa (for FH .61 I think I played it).
If someone could take the dust of this one, you'd be there already.

"hitler line" map
this would go nicely with the italian stuff, when it arrives

How about a theoretical Germany invading New York map? KT's on barges, skyscrapers, it of course didn't happen but neither did Alpenfestung. It provides a chance for real creativety and some very unique terrain and battles.

Here's a map I think would work well.....

[SacredLizard]

hehe, yeah, we have all these nice skyscrapers already modeled, just couldnt think of what to use them for, but ...that! its so obvoius! why didnt I think of that? ...

:P just teasing you, fella, ...though I would have suggested a washington DC map... much easier to do.

Washington would be cool also. Everyone who isn't American wants payback . I'm sure a lot of non yanks would love to fight on American soil.
Anyone interested in making this ?

Ahaha, you have been watching that Star Trek serie too lately? They were zapped into another time zone; where Hitler succeeded in invading both Russia and America. But no, although the series were cool, an FH map would not be. Whatever happened to this realism mod?

I am thinking about making a (later maybe more) maps around Operation Barbarossa, the offensive against Russia.

The idea behind the maps are that you do not have flags to capture but, similar to BoB, you have to eliminate the enemy.
The use of artillery and bombers will be very important to winning the maps as all spawns will be linked to some object or another. Once destroyed the objects linked to it are lost forever.
So f.i. you could destroy the enemy's airport spawn object and planes will no longer spawn there.
Some maps might have ships (lend/lease) and/or factories that will control the spawns. Once destroyed/sunk will limit the spawning of tanks.

I also hope to make an entire campaign out of it and as historical accurate as possible.

Anyone willing to help out with mapping/research is very welcome (first mapping experiance for me)

I am trying to make a Polish map, where the Germans hit a large Polish fortified line (of bunkers, trenches etc.) guarding a bridge. There would also be a town at the other bridge, so the Polish would have to keep their troops balanced between the forts and the town. The forts would also need to be strong enough to hold out against the Germans, forcing the fighting into the town, but would be defenceless from behind.

This is loosely based around the battle at Mlawa in early september. Unfourtunatly, I have no mapping skill at all, but hopefully someone else would like to take up this idea.

P.S Please excuse the crappiness of the image. Try and imaging something more impressive
