Old Glory US server
- Thread starter oldslowguy
- Start date
We hope to switch one or two of the "custom" maps in and out every few days to keep up the interest. Feel free to post suggestions and comments here or at the TWB forums. TWB*SlowBull

Moscow was pretty enjoyable for the couple rounds i got to play earlier.....and oddly enough, Mannikala wasn't as terrible as i had remembered. plus some good battles on the standard rotation maps like Leningrad, Kaukasus, and Zhitomir. great to have OG filled consistently

LOL about the Mannikala map, I've been in several where the Allies just get mauled, whereas last I played they actually won. Same with Kyrokova (sp?), it's usually very Axis biased, with rare Allied wins. It's a pity sometimes that the experienced players don't try to play the disadvantaged side on these type of maps, but then again, it's a pity they all haven't been tweeked for 52 player loads, too. Oh well, the enjoyment I've received from playing RO over the years FAR outweigh any complaints! TWB*SlowBull

oooo didn't realize Kryukovo was on the rotation....have not played that map in ages!!!! I'll usually try to play on the more "difficult" side if i can.....for example, it's always fun taking german squad leader on Basovka. was great actually taking that round last night with that group of pubbies

at the request of my buddy TWB*Slowbull, here's a guide that can help you with getting your map load times shortened and so you don't always have to redownload content from the server:
hope it helps anyone who might need it

Thanks to -[SiN]-bswearer for these tweaks, they are of course optional. If you should ever screw up your ini, just delete it, restart the game and a new default ini will be loaded. So, if you are happy with your current ini, I suggest you copy it (not move it) to a place where you can find it again in case you need to "go back" to it. Of course to do any changes to the ini you must be out of the game, and you have to "save" the changes before you play again. Regarding loading custom maps, if you change your [Core.System]
PurgeCacheDays=0 to 0 from the default 30 days, you wont have to redownload the custom maps. We hope you enjoy the occasional custom map on the Old Glory server! TWB*SlowBull

Still all kinds of great fun on the Old Glory server so once again thanks for keeping everything running so smoothly.
One thing I did want to mention though. The Tractor Works map that is renamed to something else, the PTRD on that map has no pistol or grenades. I suppose I could live without grenades but oh man, going about without a pistol is maddening lol. Until you get set up at a location you feel like your behemoth of a gun is just a flagpole and you the flag bearer rushing into battle as every enemy soldier uses you for target practice.

With your mad skillz, what you need a sidearm for? But seriously, maybe Jim, or Butch can address this, I dont know if they can mod the map for that or not? Glad you enjoy playing Old Glory! TWB*SlowBull

Is there any chance you can mix up the rotation a bit, change the order the maps are played? During the week, I usually only get to play in the mornings (EST) and it seems the same 2 or 3 maps are on the server.
Just wondering

I will play arround with the map order today. Regarding Arad and Danzig, some of us love to team tank on Arad, with comms of course, and I know a lot of guys really like Danzig (me? not so much :/), so they will stay. Thanks for playing, see you soon. TWB*SlowBull

SlowBull, in the event you don't totally hate these maps... is there any chance that you could add ParaiserPlatz and Kriegstadt to the mix, please?

Is there any chance you could add Gorlitz to the map rotation? the last time I played there many liked it, but I havn't seen it since. It really is a good map

We may well put Gorlitz on again for a bit, it's unoptimized in places, and often a TK hell for the Allies, but can be fun. We are trying out PariserPlatz for a while, we realize it's a large download and takes a while to learn but I think it's a great map. We have considered Kreigstadt but feel it's too large a download and has some other issues. Another map I like a lot is FestungKurland, but it's a bit difficult and takes some Allied teamwork to win, we may try it again at some point. Thanks for playing Old Glory! TWB*SlowBull

Hey TWB guys.. I'm curious if you will have a server setup at the release of HOES which will have all of the levelling, rare weapons and Heroes hoopla turned off.
We need a place for all of the Old Glory regulars to go to right at release, so we can play RO the way we like playing it. I think if people are left to wander the server scene they'll get stuck having to play relaxed realism more often than not; it's my prediction that relaxed realism will be the choice of the bulk population (sad and a bit pessimistic I agree, but I'd put money on it).
