Developer Trivia about the Finale
I decided to post about a little bit of Trivia about the development of the finale of this campaign. The finale is my favorite map I have ever made, and I decided to make post talking about its development.

The finale takes straight up inspiration from a painting my Uncle made.
Here is a link to painting, you can see the similarities from the final product.

Things like the rock-placements, the flowing river in the middle, the lighthouse and the house placements all take inspiration from the painting. It works out really well, because this map makes it very hard for things like Molotov's to be used on tanks. The main objective people do on finale's is they light the tanks on fire and they run away until they die, but considering there is water in the middle of the map that splits the map basically to two different sides makes it harder to do that tactic. That's why I personally liked making it because Tanks are way more deadly, especially the second wave of tanks when two show up at the same time!

The finale was the first map that was created for this campaign and was the main inspiration for the entire campaign. I just thought I would make a post about it and let you guys enjoy that bit of trivia about the finale.
