Level Design [Preview] RO-X

[Drecks]

Scenario: Fights for the Wateverovko village...
===========================================================================

Since i was able to play RO-Lazur on several servers i decided to plan a 2th map.
I would have simply uninstall the tools if i didn't find servers with RO-Lazur.
However i did read the Germans did have tanks in the Wateverovko region it will be combined arms.
tanks for both teams. It's obvious the Germans defend and the Soviets attack.
Don't intend to make a precise copy of the area or 100 % historical correct battle, i don't work for
the Discovery channel, but i will try to make a nice very foggy battlefield.
With a small village towards the river.

Cause i do want to give a different touch to it i don't want to use the excisting buildings and stuff
so i have to build houses from scratch. This takes time so be patience.

Keep in mind it's all work in progress.


Village far from done

The collective farm ( Kolchoz) area

Is this setting to be in the endstages of the encirclement? Then you should add a lot ore rubbish to the streets. I would suggest to give the Germans one ot two Stugs and more tanks for the Russians. No Panzerfausts aswell.

Here's a nice map from a questionable site of Cholm--it's got your buildings all layed out for you!

No one said I was smart, or could read.

I always, always want mappers to follow real street and building layouts, so let reality do the grunt work for you and all that's left is the tweaking*.

*it's really that easy!**

**it's not that easy.

Cholm - wow, I'm looking forward to this one!

I addition to the map referred to above, a wargames group (http://www.sswg.org) have modelled the siege of Cholm, which could be a source of some ideas:

Very Nice!

 

[King Ragnar]

If this is as good as Lazur then i cant wait , good luck and gods speed heh

 

[Mike_Nomad]

Drecks, I'm impressed. But then, as always, your mapping is extremely impressive.

 

[ExoCet-NAW]

Looking Good Drecks.
Hope this plays aswell as your UO map Ardennes 1944. Think that was yours lol.

Remember that the Stugs RO has were not used in Cholm, with the exception of maybe the relief effort.

Add a LOT of rubble, enough to clog many of the streets. And add a good bit of destroyed T60s or T34s from previous attacks. Maybe something like little dips in the rubble could be used as German trenches.

If it's VERY late in the encirclement, there should be no snow at all, just barren earth. And if you have vehicles for the Germans in the end, maybe you could make it so they only spawn once or twice.

Hopefully you never find a reason to uninstall the SDK. It would be a big loss to the rest of the RO community.

Isn't that the truth...

 

[UncleDrax]

Looking good..

If you can scare up enough surplus polygons, some additional small ruffage/foilage would help make the borders where the buildings meet the ground look more natural. Perhaps add in some snow-banks there too?
