New maps

Hello commander, We hope you are well. In today’s DevBlog, we’ll give you a quick status update on the next batch of maps (and revisions to existing maps) that will come to [b]WARNO[/b]. Keep reading to find out what’s in store! [b][h2]Maps Pipeline[/h2][/b] With the [b]OUDINOT[/b] milestone out in the wild, which brought its fair share of map updates, from [b]Black Forest’s[/b] revision to the new [b]Destruction[/b] variants of existing battlefields, we can give a sneak peek of what’s to come. The new [b]Black Forest[/b] map was a great success, confirming to us the direction we want to take with our next maps. Both [b]Dark Stream[/b] and especially [b]Twin Cities[/b] were received well as well.

[*]Creating and delivering new maps. [*]Polishing, balancing, and testing of [b]Army General[/b] maps.[/list] [b]Improving existing maps[/b] Based on various feedbacks - and plenty of it - we are continuously improving our [b]WARNO[/b] maps. Many of these updates are done through the level build or design, such as adding roads, relaying fields or replanting forests, modifying command zones, etc. Next, we also fix bugs and visual oddities, boosting quality and performance and upgrading post-processing in terms of light and color rendering. The following maps will be updated soon : [list] [*]Geisa [*]Chemical [*]Iron Waters [*]Rift [*]Cyrus [*]Ripple [*]Two Lakes [*]Vertigo[/list] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41657262/2af389997f78c11222cada3e717502a40133659c.jpg[/img] [b][h2]New maps to be delivered[/h2][/b] We had planned to deliver the two new maps: urban [b]Twin Cities[/b] and water-rich [b]Dark Stream[/b] maps alongside this DevBlog, but for once we were a bit ahead on schedule. Hence why they were delivered with Monday’s patch. Both map were introduced and detailed in previous DevBlog: [b][url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1611600/view/3448096898424004887]Twin Cities[/url][/b] is set to introduce urban combat with high-rise buildings and dense city-like sections, while [b][url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1611600/view/3318614513079455097]Dark Stream[/url][/b] lets the new [b]Amphibious[/b] trait units shine. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41657262/b556ea024eec6b251559115150c8cff19bf8e5ba.gif[/img] Deliveries also concern multiplayer options. [b]Crown[/b], [b]Loop[/b] and [b]Geisa[/b] are now playable in [b]destruction[/b] mode in [b]10 versus 10[/b] dedicated servers. If you're more of a [b]ranked[/b] player, we also thought about you. [b]Two ways[/b] is coming back to [b]1 versus 1 ranked[/b], as well as [b]Loop 2vs2[/b] and the new [b]Black Forest[/b].

Each one will be launched on a tactical map picked from the existing pool based on the location and terrain the units find themselves in. We are very hard at work making these maps enjoyable, dynamic, and authentic: we aim to have a unique and fun experience for each [b]Army General[/b] game. In the future, we will share more details!
