Austerlitz Map [Quenched]

[demonfork]

This map makes me want to gouge my eyeballs out on the rare occasions that I even see anyone play it. There are only 33 active games at the moment, the fewest out of any of the beta maps.

This is a terrible map, it would be a setback for the for the foundry to release it.

I don't support this map.

Furthermore, what would be the point of releasing a map that not only looks like garbage but is also one that no one plays.

BTW there are still only 33 active games....not one new game has been started since my last post. This map is a FAIL. Someone with some authority in the foundry needs to recognize this fact and can this map.

PS...Pamoa, this is nothing personal...I think that your other maps look amazing.

FWIW I'm playing a game on this map right now and so far I like it.

I guess you can't please everyone.

Demonfork,

I thought the same when I first saw it. However, the gameplay is great, there are no easy bonuses and it is a real fun map to play on. I'll be glad to play against you in a team game and you can see how fun it is. Find a team and send me an invite, I'll get a team with similar points together.

Thank you natty_dread and jakewilliams
it is my pleasure to please you

It is personal
I spent 100 hours of my life on this
so it is very personal

Yeah, most people have no idea how much time and effort even a simple map consumes. Therefore it's highly annoying when some people come over and shit all over your efforts with no consideration of the hard work you've done. These people should just try making their own maps so maybe they get some idea of the amount of work and effort you need to dedicate to bring a quality map to CC. It's not very nice to do all that work if the only thanks you get is people flaming on you...

The gameplay might be fan-freaking-tastic, all the more reason to bring the visuals up to par with the gameplay. As it stands the graphics look like total vomit.

I have a good solution for you demonfork
don't play it !

Every Map has players that enjoy it and players that do not enjoy it, that is the great thing about Conquer Club, so much diversity if you don't like one map you are sure to enjoy another Each map fills it's own niche

And some have players that don't play it hardly at all

I think the spoils is wrong on this map. Bob says that I hold the left french side, while the map says that it is the allied side. Furthermore bob says that I will be getting 2 more while the map says I should get 3. One last thing the map says that there are 4 Russian divisions on the left flank. I can only count 3. Just letting you all know. and the game number is Game 5984558

* sorry copy one less number on the game

[MrBenn]

The game number is Game 598455

I think you're looking at the wrong map?

G.M.Albright is holding French left flank (upper left side of the map) which is Suchet Kellerman and Caffarelli
on your side you are not holding allied left flank (lower right side of the map)
because it has 4 divisions
3 Russians and 1 Austrian
Prebyshevsky Langeron Douktourov and Kienmayer cavalry in red just on the other side of the river

I hope you will enjoy the map

[puppydog85]

thanks, I guess I was looking at the green colored men and got to thinking that I was green. Makes sense. I do enjoy the map. It employs real world tactics very nicely.

[MrBenn]

Since the map has gone live, there have been no real issues with imbalance.... looks like job done to me.

I hope you all will enjoy it

I understand you put work into this but I genuinely think it isn't up to a good enough level. Most maps that have been going through the process for a year are better. There have been 5 versions compared to most maps 20 something.

I agree with demon fork, the graphics aren't as good as many of the now upgraded maps. This map needs serious graphical reworking, the gameplay is fine from the game I've seen but the graphics are not suited to the modern day foundry

EDIT: I was discussing this with ManBungalow and he agrees

I think it's perfectly fine. Gives a good feel for a "battlefield".

It looks as good as the original Indochina I.E. not good.

[army of nobunaga]

at first I was like WTF is this... But this map is great. One of the best. Beautiful in a real war way.

thank you.


edit- to expound... you know why I love it? you did not use game play gimmicks, crazy themes, or anything totally crazy to get this map going. You took a real life great battle, and made a very straight forward fun map to play that looks great once you figure out what is going on.

I'm very pleased to see someone who did understand and appreciate what I meant to do
thank you (Japanese very low bow)

[joriki]

I like this map a lot -- have been playing most of my games on it recently. Thanks! Just one small thing: the bonus for Alexander and Liechtenstein is called "Allied emperors" -- Alexander was a tsar, which is something like an emperor, but Liechtenstein was a prince, which is nothing like an emperor. They should be called "Allied commanders/leaders/rulers/monarchs" or something like that. By the way, why is the French spelling used for "Alexandre"? Whereas the German/Austrian names are used for the towns (e.g. "Pratzen", which is "Prace" in Czech).

Again, many thanks for a great map

[pamoa]

thanks for your support
as the battle was won by Napoléon
all the map is named from the French point of view
but the legend has to be in English for players
Liechtenstein does represent the Austrian emperor
and the coalition was called the allied emperors by the French
