I dunno about a bonus system like that. It's already very hard to hold the German route anyway... if it has a negative result, it might become impossible. Though, you could make it -1 without the whole route and add in an autodeploy on each town on the route.

It would be realistic because the Nazi's would be using supplies from the town to strengthen their army and it would support the idea that once taken, it is hard to get the Nazi's out.

Plus, it would make the route stations more easy to defend as there is always an autodeploy strengthening the armies there.

AND it would discourage players from taking the towns unless they were planning to take the route. Because if you commit to the route, then you're deployable armies are going to disappear in favor of the autodeploys.

hm, this sounds logic... but I can not have so much autodeploys. WE NEED CONDITIONAL AUTODEPLOYS!

the truth is that only few towns was retaken by partisans...
what about to do only towns (not with garison, not battle sites, not airports) +1 autodeploy?

I want to have any negative bonus here... will think about this a little...

EDIT: if towns will be +1 autodeploy, then the German unit routes will be more easy to hold.

what is needed to resolve here? graphics? gameplay? bonuses?

Nothing that I can think of is wrong with this map. Let's sticky it and see what happens in two days, if no one has any objections then I will stamp it.

by **Industrial Helix** on Sun Jul 17, 2011 4:22 am

Whoa... I moved this without stamping and posting... Sorry about that.

thebastard, first of all I'm really happy to see that your mapmaker ability is increasing day after day, continue in this way.
Now, about your supersize request....try to keep the extra space at the minimum but the map is worth some additional pixels, so go with it.

Good Work!

I know the explantations and legend cover much place. I can not see any way how to reduce it. maybe I could reduce map to 840x600/620, but it does not means that it would helps...

I am glad that you (both) feel what was my goal where are you from? it shows Canada now...

I've been in Canada most of my life but I was born in Praha...

Same thing with the one-way arrows... bigger and bolder.

there is needed some edits. will see what I can do for you.

Yes, the new railroads and arrows are much better!

Update! Update! Update!

thanks Nola for interest and support. but there will be no more updates.

this is my end in this page. I mean not only in drawing maps, but I will not be active here more.
I came back after my thumb injury. I think that this map is interesting (as gameplay, also WWII theme) and only few people had interest here.

look how much guys are active on Foundries. where is Victor Sullivan, cairnswk, Kabanellas, The Bison King, Evil DIMwit, isaiah40, MrBenn, gimil, rdsrds2120, DJ Teflon, 40kguy, OliverFA, AndyDufresne, Bruceswar, RedBaron0, TaCktiX... these guys are permanent active and look how much they posted on my maps (Baltic Crusade, Medieval Oligarchy, Invasions map pack, Slovak National Uprising). I tried to help or post my ideas to much of their maps and also they posted to each other. so realy guys thanks for interest and your ideas...

I would like to thanks some guys for support and help. I found here some realy cool guys. at the first place Industrial Helix and thenobodies80 for everything, Nola_Lifer, ender516. also natty_dread for his mainly graphics help, MarshalNey for some genial inputs.

I understand that everybody has own real life, family, job but me too...

A bummer. You had a lot of really great idea's, it's a shame that none of them ever came into completion

by **cairnswk** on Sat Jul 30, 2011 1:51 am

I am sorry you feel like this theBastard.
I for one have only just returned to being active since early June after almost 12 months away, so i have not been permanently active, and i do have other projects and RL to consider. In fact my posting will soon decline for the next semester at uni.
Also, you should know, that you don't always get back in life from those you give to. Sometimes it comes back from others, and sometimes not for long time. If you fall down, then get up and keep trying. If your trying is not hard enough, then perhaps you will keep falling down, and your heart was not really in your projects. But whatever your decision, i wish you luck.

Bastard, I really agree with nobodies here. So you can't leave when you're getting better by the day. Things can move quite slowly on the Foundry, you'll just have to get used to it....

I'm sorry I don't post much around here, but most of the times, I honestly don't feel comfortable enough to do it. I feel that to give a valid and honest opinion that goes a little beyond superficiality one must have the time to really dig into the map and be totally in sync with the thread. With all my real life issues, wife, work and all, plus my involvement on the foundry has a mapmaker just keep me a bit overwhelmed... and I also play (yup I do like to roll and get 1's and 2's) and have a somewhat strong involvement with clan issues, so I permanently have a reasonable amount of games going on which can really take a lot of time from you.

Anyway, I hope you do consider that decision of yours. I'd like to continue to see you hanging around this house.
