[Map] Tad Sae [released]

That's a good idea, maybe give the US a spawn point in the sky that lasts for 1 minute at round start. When they land, they have to cap the first poing which then becomes their main (giving them a permanent spawn point).

Awesome map btw

nice job man, I love the feel and atmosphere of the map and the river. I think adding a couple of small villages as well will really make the map awesome...

A dome of Death will be present over the US main, and probably a pre-placed forward spawn of some sort (bunker) will hopefully be placed for the Chinese in the village, to force the US to move to the outpost first (along with it being the first flag they must cap)

I want the map to be open as possible allowing you to approach a flag from any attack angle.

Thanks for the input though its much appreciated

Ah, okay, that sounds good. I was just worried of a scenario where the US just all go to main village, leaving the PLA with no chance to get it. But a forward spawn point would also solve that, I didn't think if that.

Looks like that map that was in 0.3 (I think it was), US vs. China
-> nice

The map will be a pure infantry map with the chinese maybe possesing a light jeep or two to help them get from the starting position and into the flags to defend them first.

The CP layout is subject to change as its not a completed map yet, still need to add in some more little houses/groupings along the river bank and there is a possibility of having a Chinese start in the north hills

If you ask me... isn't this order kind of awkward? Shouldn't it be U.S Main > Main Village > Temple then Village Outpost? It just seems odd to go for a CP that just seems placed off in the distance, while enemies are lurking in a village just across the river. Even better might be to go U.S Main > Village Outpost > Temple then Main Village, right now it just seems like a lot of going back and forth, but shouldn't an engagement be more of a straightforward push? I mean it would be like invading the U.S from the west coast, but attacking Dallas first, then going back for Los Angeles, then going for New York.

to be totally honest i haven't put that much thought into the flag order, as the maps a long way till completion, but the little i have thought about it is the US securing one side of the river before pushing across to capture the other side, so when and if the US cap the outpost flag they'd be attacking main village from the North and South west making the defence a little harder. but also forcing the US forces to keep guys in reserve at the outpost due to the threat of recapture from the Chinese as the Chinese main will be in the hills to the North East.

my main aim of this map is to make it possible to attack a flag from almost any angle by leaving the map as open as possible (no natural barriers, apart of course the river)

Very nice looking... the yellow fields are a little weird to me... too bright.

Consider making the rice fields (green ones) in a position more sinked in relation to the ground. You can see that's how they do it irl to hold the water.

Al Basrah have that kind of structure for those fields and it's great to have firefights since you have those berms in all sides and can be a little more in cover.

The crashed zero is a nice touch.

The village is getting very nice as well.

Consider having more bumps in the terrain to make it more "fightable". An example is Fools Road or even Road to Kyongani. But you can also not consider doing this an keep it more flat and let's see how it goes.

Keep it up!

This is exactly what I was thinking - farmland on the flat left bank, jungle and raised terrain on the right bank. Small fishing village at a river crossing/bridge. Potential for a paradrop on the flat farmland. Think of the farmland in the 0.6 Helmand map but use the rice paddy fields (a good example of these is near the US Main on Daqing Oilfields.
You're doing great work though - People will all be having 'Nam flashbacks by the time you're finished

consider make the rocks in the picture a bit smaller and in a group, it seems very out of place to have a giant rock without any other rocks nearby, also consider adding small fireplaces inside the village areas (the round arounds in between the buildings) if ther is such a moddel, but except from that good map.

still needs a bit of work, the water colour and height etc.
