Helmgart - XL Mountain City Siege

Description
This map is made at maximum size allowing major battles. It features the city of Helmgart, strategically positioned in the pass connecting Bretonnia and the Empire. The two armies start at either side of the city and will have to fight it out within its street, or in the small mountain paths high above.

This map is a remake of my battle map "Helmgrad". Originally that map is meant to be played a field battle with equal(ish) balance between the two sides. However since the map features a large city I made this remake of the map with new deployment zones to allow for one player to have the defensive advantage so that you can play the same map as a siege battle.

For reference please refer to the original map:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=864794683

The city is composed of three tiers and contains big streets and plazas, for the armies to move, but also smaller alleys that are perfect for a hero or a small unit. The walls offer good places for missile units, providing if with a good defensive position.

One can also move up in the narrow roads in the mountains to try and outflank the enemy. Here you can also find a good lookout point over the map, as well as a platform overlooking the city from which artillery can rain down hell.

This is a first version, please comment with suggestions, and tips. The map is more or less finished, but if you have any points about balance and have found one side to be favored I will try to change that a little.

Despite it's size and detail I have found no sign of performance problems. Some of the blocks in the wall pop up a little above the other. I have no idea why, they are all fine in the map editor. I have remove most of the shadows from the mountain, they darkened down the settlement more than I wanted and I wanted things to be clear.

(If you want to you can pay extra attention to the details. I have made sure to add doors to buildings that would have been missing them. Also notice the castle overlooking the town which have been hand crafted. If you find any clipping errors or such you can tell me and I will fix them!)

This map is also available in a non Siege version with different deployment zones were the two armies starts at either side of the city:

If you have subbed it and checked it in the TW:Warhammer mod manager (you can reach it from the start-up menu) you should be able to find the map (under Helm...) in the custom and multiplayer battle menus.

Just made revisions to all my maps. Nothing major but several details have been improved. I have added a few more AI hints, also the grass should look better on a few maps.

Some details have also been added on individual maps. There are now lit braziers in the towers of Helmgart and I have improved the water in the Seven Lakes map.

Some update on maps for the campaign. There is a big campaign map project currently going on which I've become a part of, my Varenka Hill map have been added. It seems uncertain for the other maps though. The problem is that most of my maps feature very substantial settlements. They might be a bit to large as compared to the other minor settlements for it to feel uniform. Varenka Hill is not actually representing Varenka Hill but a Major City Siege. I have hopes that at least my Norscan map will be added as well. If you have not checked out the project, you really should!

Also, a big thanks to everyone who is making comments in the comment section!

Check out my latest map: Varenka Hills
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=894719859
Featuring a dwarven settlement built over several large hills with lots of tiers. There's also a large river crossed by 4 bridges. Otherwise the main focus of the map is the city, which covers most of it.

I've also sent out messages to the various map packs (for the campaign) if they want to add this map, still waiting for a reply.

I have released another map: Assault on Heimseter. You know what to expect, large map, and extensive mountain range (were you can fight), a Norscan settlement and a large sea.

Thanks for the tips, I will try to come up with another one. You have any suggestion (I'm not really good with this stuff :) )

you should use a different picture as the thumbnail it looked like a bad map scrollling through other maps but its actually really awsome
