(4-8) Halloween ’19: Carpathian Mountains

Hey folks! In case the mass slaughter of the second world war doesn’t scare you enough, here is a Halloween Map!

Sadly, there are no carved pumpkins in the worldbuilder, but I think i did my best creating some “spooky” atmosphere anyway. I hope you enjoy this little Halloween Joke. It's a bit early, I know, but better than to late.

About the Map:

The Map is for 8 players. It will also work with 4 or 6 players, at least i think so. The Map is pretty large so I don’t recommend it to be played with 2 people, maybe even 4 will not be so cool.

It’s a star layout with one victory point in the center. The second team will start in the corners, the first Team starts in between. So you always have two enemies right to you (Or should I say left and right of you ;) ). So watch your flanks while you try to get to the one, center victory point.

The Map is pretty close quarters overall. It features a ruined building, a graveyard (obviously), a ghost army, a bloody swamp and much more.

I recommend playing this map from different starting positions and also from different teams. make sure to fill the teams out in Order, otherwise there might be more and incalculable chaos.


Description

In the Fall of 1944 the Soviet Red Army had pushed German forces and their allies back out of Ukraine, pressing on to the Carpathian Mountains. But when pushing into Transilvania, the Russian Soldiers had to face a new and unknown danger. In the steep valleys between Romania and Hungary, in ancient castles hidden in the shadows of age old trees, creatures lurked, older than mankind, older than earth and maybe even older than space and time it self. German troops avoided the mountainous province, after an entire division disappeared in the fog. But as the soviet mechanised colossus pushed forwards relentlessly, troops once again headed into the long abandoned valleys, to meet their fate. Often not a bullet....

As always: if you find any bugs, misplaced objects or pathfinding issues, write me in the comments. I’ll fix them if possible. I want this to be “spooky”, but not the spook of non functional gameplay :) .

Also this time: when you think the fog, color scheme, weather - or other design elements, should be changed to make it more “spooky” or to enhance the playability - tell me. I’m not quite sure about the the way it is now. Have fun playing! I’m waiting for your feedback!

Known issues:

Somehow the searchlights are still not on.

When spawning a huge amount of units (mostly vehicles), for example when using mods, they might block each other when entering the map, bugging outsite the playable area, ending not beeing usable. This should not occure during normal play. Until this is fixed, make sure not to spawn multiple tanks at once in one entrance. (for example calling in a king tiger, when a Panzer IV enters the map at the same entrance)

The borders of the playable area are at some points a little bit messed up, obstructing the camera or revealing unmoddelt parts of the map.

Note: The wall arround the center building should be destroyed by explosives. At least medium tanks can not breach trough.

The sound design needs some improvement.

If you know how to fix any of the above mentioned bugs, feel free to comment.
