What about maps based on partisan operations, at least in conception. So, minor, intense skirmishes.
And, what about fictional maps. I have issues about creating maps as close to reality as possible because-
I dont know alot about east europe/west russia (like achitecture, environment, what the landscape looks like etc) I know theres the internet/books/films etc for research but I live in australia.
I dont want to choose two opposing units or, a battle/city/town that featured units that were notorious for war crimes in any way. So its going to be hard because i dont want to spend two months researching the unit/battles/towns/dates etc because I want to get get the map released before RO(2007) comes out
How do other ppl feel about fictional maps? I dont intend in any way to insult the ppl who fought the war, or their decendants, or to ignore the effort put in to be senstive to these issues by Tripwire over the years developing the game.
I just feel that if I make the best playing map I can, gameplay critisisms happily recieved, in the spirit of RO, then it should be enough.
