I started with the original, years ago. Yeah - Sim City was a perfect example of a game that ended up going into too much detail and got boring. I'm glad Battlefront have kept the balance right... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malaspina 19 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Freyberg, These look great. Nice job! I wish the real places looked like that! Have you uploaded the maps somewhere? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've been chopping them into slices and adding AI plans, and playing them, so I can upload a map pack to the Scenario Depot. Below is a link to what I've done so far - all of these maps (except the 'base' maps) have Defender AI plans, so they're good to use on the attack, but so far only about 15% have Attacker AI plans. Anything marked '-prog' still isn't playable against the AI (usually ME maps missing AI plans). If you want to play an ME against the AI, just check it has an AI plan first. I've been enjoying testing them - they all work well playing as Attacker, and a few of them have been really challenging... Have fun Any feedback and advice appreciated.

Anonymous_Jonze 94 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) Just wanted to say Freyberg these QB maps are excellent. I'm loving the infantry battles in the ruins especially. The squad tactics with all the craters really shines. Edited January 31 by Anonymous_Jonze 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not a single German outside a building rendering my artillery advantage next to useless. Almost every turn I've lost a pixeltruppen here and there. Painstaking and methodical. Bust most importantly fun! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anonymous_Jonze 94 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 One last thing does every QB have plans for the AI? I tried a couple and the AI didn't leave their deployment zone. A couple of maps didn't have deployment zones. Is there a clue in the title? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mjkerner 620 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 QBs by default need to have AI plans, or they won’t show up in the selection screen. (Well, they’re not supposed to, anyway.) Maybe you didn’t choose the right type (Attack, Probe, Meeting Engagement, etc.) so that the QBs that weren’t working actually had an AI plan for a different type? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Could be down to an empty AI plan left open by accident? Doesn't explain the deployment zones issue though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
