I don't have access to the map editor from the beta, so hopefully this map is clear enough to read. The basic idea for this map is that both bases start at elevation 2, in fact most of the map is elevation 2. The bases are fairly close by air distance but far away by ground distance, as between them is elevation 0 ground. Access to the Pit portion of the map is only available to Infantry and Recon units, as there are several "steps" of elevation 1 that they can traverse. The pit is small enough that artillery can take positions to defend points, but tanks will do little to help. On the East and West side of the map are control points which are attached to the bases by a dirt road. The layout of the roads should make it obvious which control point you are "supposed" to take first. I would love feedback for my first map creation attempt, please comment and let me know if this map format is readable. Rothmorthau Attachment:

Edit: Here is my second attempt - I condensed the east and west to try to make a more interesting map and also to allow tanks to be more viable. Attachment:

Let's get you the real map editor. I like your idea, and think the map would be very interesting to play.

Feels like a bigger version of close quarter
The distance between bases kinda close yet so far away by tanks
Sounds pretty interesting

well, i WAS gonna put this together in the map editor, but it doesn't work now. I guess in the course of patches, they made it unusable. Sorry Roth

there isn't a "new editor" yet. Only chrism has access to anything other than the old one, which, as I said above, no longer works

I'm concerned that I may have made the east and west control points too far away, and that it might make for a more interesting game if i made them a little closer.
Also I'm realizing that I don't really like the thick forests on the east and west as otherwise these would be the places that tanks would actually help out on this map and I think they should still have a place.
What do you guys think?

Attempt number 2: Condensed East-West. Better or worse? Edit: Fixed one hex out of place. Attachment:

really like the idea but i see 2 major problems with this map...:
The 2 middle res are both only 4 hexes away of each other so it will be VERY luck based who gets them in turn 1...
second it will be hard too see the hexes directly behind the bottom eleveated hexes for bottom player. i would prefer making the map a left-right map instead of an up-down map it wouldnt solve the problem but make it kind of even for both players.
