Baghdad will not become an offical map will it?

common misconception but why not backwards as anywards?

map has lots of potential

Some issues:
- absolutely can't have cooling towers on a map called Baghdad... Iraq never has had functional nuclear reactors and including them is a fairly major realism faux pas
- not enough dirt / ambiance
- city doesn't feel lived in enough
- need more cars
- still too many dead spaces
- objectives don't feel like there is any point to there being a flag / objective there
- too many places where you have houses in even rows
- need to do more study of baghdad references to try and get some of the key landmarks included (or some reasonable facsimile)

These are soem great references:

http://www.tomfoss.net/Baghdad.jpg

NOTE: we have a new set of middle eastern looking buildings being developed and you should most definitely fill out the dead spaces with the new buildings we are working on.

The map has lots of potential, but I suggest you either model it closely after the real Baghdad, or just make up a middle eastern sounding name and a fictitious city .. cuz right now .. altho cool .. it doesn't seem like Baghdad.

It needs grass, some bumps in the ground, Asphalt for the city not just dirt.
Sidewalks under the buildings. Lots of trees of course. But other then that its great, a good City Map.

Haven't played the map, only saw some screenshots. To save you the work, I suggest you do what Eggman says, change the city name to something else. Or if you want to keep the "Baghdad" in, try something like "Road to Baghdad" or use "Baghdad" in your map description.

Keep it up!

Edit: or of course, change the things to make it look more like Baghdad, but that's totally up to you

the reason why there is space is because I'm waiting for 0.6 to come out and them cooling towers, if they need to go they need to go.

dunno why you are waiting for 0.6 to come out before you fill up the empty space? If there are statics in 0.6 you want to use why not use them from the OB?

its call Herat, northwestern Afghanistan, capital of Herat Province, on the Harirud river. Herat is perhaps the most beautiful of Afghanistan's ancient cities. It has been a settlement for over 2,500 years and has been fought over by successive rulers from Alexander the Great in 330 B.C. to Ahmad Shah Durrani in 1749. In the 7th century AD the city was captured by Muslims. The Mongol conqueror Tamerlane made it his capital in 1381
