[ST] Grand Battle Map

Gnomon: Today, we’re rolling out the 4th iteration of this map. In case you’ve missed the previous announcements/posts, it was conceived as an open map in a Soviet setting, with fighting possibilities spread over every nook-and-cranny. Players were given opportunities for relatively safe movement between different zones and extending their attack after winning a fight in a key location. What has changed in the 4th version: A part of the city has been re-worked. Judging by the feedback we received, it was too complex. Players had navigational problems and weren’t sure from which direction they should expect an enemy to appear. Due to this, we thought the city needed a re-work.  The edges of the map have now been made traversable. The players wanted to make use of these zones, and we completely agreed with the idea. The parts in the east and in the west have been redesigned. The map stats showed that they were mostly utilized by medium tanks. But, we are going for more tank class diversity in these areas. There’s now more cover for the bases. The stats from the previous test showed us that capping was difficult because the bases were far too open. As always, the test results will define what happens next.  Imgur album for map: Grand Battle Map
