Builders!

Next of our series in the West German area is nicknamed 'Steelworks;

Introducing- Essen

According to history, Ruhr area was the home of many mines and industrial plants, mainly because of being rich in resources and infrastructure. We all can agree that this means being a really interesting target for the alliance force, mainly because of Krupp factory, which created most of the artillery for the German troops. Also, because of the pristine quality of the steel, the Führer himself during the call to arms said that the troops should be "tough as Rupps' steel".

Thanks to the invention of radars, the so called 'Krupp decoy site' was evaded, which lead to fast victory on the alliance site.

So, here's what you need to know about the location:


And easter-egg type! The building that plays the role of fabric site is inspired by the building that had been in reality one of Krupp complex and nowadays is known as Colosseum Theater.


Task time! Inside the main building, there is a crane that will be in help of transporting machines that had been saved from the bombing.


Another task which is the second hall that has to be demolished for spare resources and space


We're having a lot of tasks in this one - in between the buildings is a silo that has a gas leakage. The main objective is to switch off the main valve to be able to move forward.


And some hidden history spots- an anti-aircraft bunker to find!

That's all for Essen. In reality and nowadays, the city thrives and was rebuilded to really beautiful one.
As the usuall- tell us your thought about the map in the comments down below!

Till next time!

As you know already, playtests for our prologue and coming in big. And you all really like our stories about certain locations and maps.

Let us continue our adventure and take this opportunity and introduce you further to the city of Hamburg.

In short after battle for Ruhr, the alliance took as it's next target the city of Hamburg. Operation Gomora was supposed to paralyze the biggest German docks and submarine factory complex. The goal was reached, although with difficulties in the future with setting the next goals caused by the smoke that was covering the building. All the docks and factories were destroyed according to the plan and pushed out of commission for at least a month.
Unfortunately, more than 3/4 of the city was destroyed with 40 thousand lives were taken by the ravages of war and explosions

What's our story?

Let us hear what our Hero has to say:
"I remember the paralyzing fear I felt reading in the newspapers about the bombings of Hamburg in 1943. My Andreas' unit was stationed in the city at the time. I was worried sick for weeks, and finally a letter from the Wehrmacht arrived: Andreas was severely burned but alive!
They say all the Allies wanted at the time was to stop the Nazi U-boat production. They succeeded, but at the same time Hamburg with its inhabitants burned almost completely. When the incendiary bombs penetrated through to the cellars full of coal, all hell broke loose
Now I arrive in Hamburg, witnessing the aftermath of the monstrous firestorms my husband had once encountered."

What's more?


One of the players' task is to rebuild the bell tower of St. Nicolas Church that hasn't been rebuilt till this day. Don't forget to clean the rubble- it will be used in further rebuilding of the coast.


We've heard that you would be interested in some new buildings and spaces to build - here you go!


Rebuilding is a hard job- to make it easier, we're dropping you a boat that can be helpful during rebuilding of some wooden bridges


Another task for you in this area will be rebuilding old trement house with a rift that you can paint with the color of your choosing.

Remember- playtests for the prologue are getting near. Hope our today's devlog got you more excited for them.

Till next time!

Don't you think we've stopped with our map series! We've just took a little break to recharge and now we're back to our journey.

As you all know Rebuilder consists of 3 cauntries at the cor- England, Germany and France. So yes, it's now time for some Germany areas- West Germany to be more percise.

Introducing- Ludendorff Bridge

During the mass invasion on Germany it was thought that the biggest difficulty would be getting to Berlin through the river Ren, because the alliance thought that germans had destroyed all of the bridges that could lead to the city. But when in 1945 american troops had arrived near the west side of Ren earlier than they had planned, it occured to them that the Ludendorf bridge near the city of Remagen was still intact, possibly being the last connection to Berlin.

The fight for the bridge, or to be more specific- to destroy it lasted for 10 days. The Nazis tried everything in their power to destroy the bridge before american troops had crossed over to the other side of Ren. Right in the very beggining of taking over the bridge by alliance at least 3 tons of explosives were detonated and during the offensive- different types of weapons like V2 missiles or prototypes that hadn't been used in regular operations.

The victory was on alliance side, but the bridge didn't surviwe all of the attacks and had collapsed. Luckily most of the alliance force had passed through the bridge and during that time there had been built an pontoon bridge and an extra truss.

Okay what's interesting about the location?


How about some alternate history? We all know that the original Ludendorf Bridge hazs been never rebuilded, but we wouldn't be true to the spirit of our game if we wouldn't do some rebuilding here right? Here it will be a nescesarity as a task, because we will need to move our crane to the other side of Ren


Some history lesson for you- in the backgroud for our rebuilding adventure you can hear about 'Golden Mile' which was a temporary enclosure for german prisoners


Another task is to pull out a wreck of an tank that is embbed into a wall of a building in a small city on the other side of Ren. The task consists of pulling out the said tank, cutting it to pieces and recycle to use it for rebuilding.


And another history moment- you can see the the Apollinariskirche Church which lies upon a hill near the city of Remegen

That's all for this map. Hope you are excited for the maps of Germany as you were for England, because we sure are!

Till next time!
