Never mind i have it figured out. I wish there was an easier way to make roads or the map in general, using these squares makes making a big map very hard especially one with a lot of roads. Really wish we could atleast make the roads on a 3D map.

The new road, bocage, and wall drawing tools help make the maps a LOT easier. You can easily draw stretches of roads with two clicks. Obviously you will have to go back and touch up intersections and any unintended mistakes, but it beats the old method of having to place every road tile individually.

Also, don't forget, when you get to the point of adding your AI plans, there is a new feature to copy/paste them. This will save time if you plan on developing multiple AI plans with slight variations.

A map with an elementary school, a baptist church and christian academy as a battleground? Kentucky invaded by the Wehrmacht?

You are going to hell son.

I wonder whether there's a hidden distillery that comprises the main objective. . .

Its a very rich tactical environment is all i can say, also you are forgetting the KFC factory and the middle school which is not labeled.... last time i checked all of the distillery's were in Eastern Kentucky not Western KY where i live.

One trick that can save you a lot of time is to rotate the map so as to get as many roads as possible running N-S/E-W (0°/90°) or NE-SW/NW-SE (45°). That'll help when it comes time to lay out the buidlings, too.
