Siege of Talabheim

- Friday February 10th
-----

I have added the following to the map
- one large deployment zone for each side
- AI hints - It does help a bit, but this map is sadly not great for AI right now. If I could get some AI scripting tool sit would be great, but not now...
- Added a back section fort for artillery
- Added a back section city block with open spaces for battling
- Added aesthetic bridges and waterfalls
- Removed some forests and added more street sections
- Added a large mage tower for eye candy and tactical pillar in the middle of an open space
- Added some short walls to the left flank opening for looks and slight tactics
- Added some new hills and different elevations all over the place.

Get ready for some truly large scale siege defense!

What we have here is my first attempt at map editing. I was always kind of disappointed that the sieges in Warhammer were not representative of their actual lore and so I tried making this map to reflect Talabheim slightly more than it is in the current game. There are, of course, tons of things missing from how Talabheim actually is built and the crater is technically much too small, but I think the spirit of the map is right! (I physically couldn't make the map any bigger!)

Talabheim has forever been the eye of a tempest- the tranquil city lies in a crater, naturally shielded from the perils of the Great Forest. However, the Eye of the Forest has never been so horrified by what it now sees surrounding it. Nor have its rock walls been so shaken by the clankings and stompings of such an iron host. With the city now under assault, there is only one certainty to Talabheim’s fate: Khorne will fantasize of bathing in the bloodshot eye when all is said and done! Needless to say, the defenders of Talabheim have many advantages. For example, their northern-most gate could probably stave off any army in the old world. However, the attackers are blessed with two other entrances into the city, both of which are weaker choke points. Choke points aren't everything to this map though: Talabheim itself is riddled with ambush locations and hilltops to defend. This siege map rewards both gall and craftiness, so you must employ both to win.

So, a regular pitch battle will likely not be effective. The AI will likely not be very good at this map - at all. Hence, you should probably try playing this with a few other people in a "role play" type of manner to make sure you optimise for the most fun! There are 3 entrance ways into the city with varying hill elevations and city streets to fight in.

I believe a 3v2, 3v3, or 2v2 in favour of the attackers will provide some interesting results!

Again - THIS MAP IS NOT INTENDED FOR AI .. but you can try! :)

I am open to ALL suggestions for improving the map. As you can see, the back part has a larger forest which I could easily turn into something else if there is a good suggestion for it... perhaps another for in the back with more elevation? Who knows! Please suggest and I will think about adding them!
