Normandy's maps ?

[monsieurbobafet]

I know it's called bagration but it gets the normandy's division so why not the maps ?
Or at least a maps modding tools

[Wulfburk]

They said that adding normandy maps would more than double the size of the game, and it sits now with 30+ gigs already. So they will focus on more eastern front content.

From what I can remember from the Wargame series, this game, as well as SD44 uses the same map making tools. I am no modder and maybe someone else can correct me or at least explain what I am trying to say. The map making tools and program are owned and used under a strict license, which does not allow for it to be disseminated to the public to use. Maybe it is that the owners and creators of the map making tools won't let Eugen to release it for map making, but it is something along those lines.

That is why you have never seen custom maps or community made maps in Wargame, SD44 and now this one.

I would really love to play as the germans with defences in the normandy campaign

[Wulfburk]

And yeah, a normandy campaign would be freaking awesome.

With the new interface Normandy would be great they could easily make some money and please many of the community

Yup, it's because of Eugen's proprietary IRISZOOM engine which is both sophisticatedly complex and undocumented to the public. Without any documentations or SDK it's literally impossible for any third-party modder to create any form of substantial mod for the game.

So yes, nobody is going to see any new maps or in-game assets unless Eugen themselves make some form of technical documentation regarding their engine or offer some form of open (or closed) development tool for the game to potential modders.

REMEMBER:

Eugen have all the ASSETS already done to make a NORMANDY Dynamic Campaign as DLC. :D

[ElemethSigma]

I'm still hoping they find a way to do urban combat. :(

1+ more maps always better

[DNW 🇮🇹]

Hey guys Sd2 is fresh of release... patience please and enjoy the moment...

[Joyous]

Jumping in to say anything on the Western front or Pacific likely would get my purchase. As for the current game possibly if I find it on sale or its on a bundle site. Just not a huge fan of the Eastern Front but understand why this would be their next game.

The problem isn't the Normandy maps themselves, but the 3D assets on it.
All the specific bocages, houses, farms, villages, ... models.
Adding them would suddently inflate the size of the game on one's hard-drive. I'm sure someone will immediatly claim he doesn't care and want them, but there are people who wouldn't appreciate if they couldn't afford the game install.
