Future maps?

[RomandoesGames]

Hey everyone! Roman here yes, I am a U.S history buff. I noticed there is only Antietam, S. Mountain, and more. But maybe I would like the following maps added in the future since there were important and some were turning points in the civil war.
- Gettysburg
- Vicksburg
- Fredricksburg
- Shiloh
- Bull Run
- Chancellorsville
- Fort Donelson (Fort could be optional)
- Chattanooga

Yep those are my ideas/suggestions,I want to hear your feedback and opinions on this. Have any battles that you want to talk about?, go ahead and say something in the comments.
Thanks for reading -Roman

Well there will be no Ft. Donelson, Chattanooga, Shiloh, or Vicksburg for 1 and for 2 this is based on the Maryland Campaign 1862 which is Harper's Ferry, South Mountain, Sharpsburg, Turner's Gap.

[Rithal]

As DomDowg said, War of Rights is focused on the Maryland Campaign of 1862 at the moment. However, after War of Rights is finished up, who knows what the future might hold? :)

[BloodBeag]

Yes but it could very well expand from the maryland campaign

[FakeMessiah27]

Who knows what the devs will do after they finish with Maryland, but I for one would rather they focussed on the gameplay aspect of things before they started adding loads of extra maps. New maps are nice of course, but rather useless if we don't have a game to play on them.

You should Add Washing ton DC, Fredricksburg , and small skirmishes..

[R21]

lol, I misinterpreted the title, I thought you were going to say Maps set on Mars with Muskets or something.

I hope they do expand the Game beyond the initial release which brings up the question of whether they'll go down the paid DLC route or not.

[RomandoesGames]

R21, why you like them to go down the "must purchase" DLC route instead of just letting them do updates like H&G or War Thunder?

[R21]

Because those Games are F2P and make their money from Micro-transactions so it's actually economical for them to have constant content updates which keep people interested which in turn makes them pay for more Micro-transaction items.

The amount of Money the WOR Developers have raised might sound like a lot but in terms of Game-development it isn't much, so to make any substantial DLC/addons in the future paid for DLC would probably be the most logical route they could take, if like you say, you want to see more content matching the quality of the initial release.

Would be my reasoning.

[Arkansan]

I very much plan on making maps for WoR. I've already gotten a subscription and played with cyengine. I have to say it is -WAY- easier to use that the Mount and Blade editor for North and South! I have several things in mind. Mostly revolving around sieges and skirmish maps around the size, if not a little bigger than, NaS maps. Nothing on the grand 2.5 mile maps of Antietam. All I need is the scene props and I can begin working on something realistic. Until then I'm just twiddling my thumbs.

[R21]

But that's the thing, it depends on how Moddable they make it (Like whether it's as easy as a server owner just uploading said Maps to their server).

Like Miscreated, another CE3 Engine Game, has been available for a while now and Custom maps/mods basically just don't exist for that Game.

[Arkansan]

Considering there are already a million sandbox games and only 62% of its reviews on steam are positive, I can see why.

[R21]

That isn't the reason though, i'm fairly sure the Developers haven't released a version of the Map editor with their assets in so it remains to be seen if the WOR devs will.

[Arkansan]

Once you download the game, you have the sceneprops you need to map. Cryengine has a GREAT map editor so I don't see the problem.

[R21]

I'll use the Source Engine as an example:

Loads of Games use the Hammer editor, but you have to load the .FGD file of a specific Game to get all the textures/props etc (along with any specific spawning mechanisms and scripts etc) to make a Map for whatever Game you want to make a map for.

Without that, Yeh, you could make a Map with the stock CE3 stuff, but to have it working in WOR (because i'm assuming they've customised it t hell and back and you need to do stuff similar to what i've mentioned above) you'd need a way of setting up all their specific stuff (like Spawn Zones etc) for which they'd basically need to release files to make the Game Moddable.

Unless i'm completely wrong here and CE3 Games are nothing like Source Games and just seamlessly integrate into one another.

[Arkansan]

Once you download the game, you have everything like I said. I don't see the problem.

Gettysburg for next map / expansion!

[Legion]

I'd prefer earlier in the war first like 1st Bull Run or 1st Winchester. But Gettysburg is a must for any civil war game. I'd like to see most of the eastern theatre that way we could have a dynamic campaign like red orchestra or something

[SemajRednaxela]

Any small scale maps would be interesting, not to mention very bloody.

As for future expansions I'd like them to be chronological (to the Civil war) in order of release. However if they open the map making to the community then by all means make other maps. So long as they're made with more tlc than N&S maps.....

[Landree]

I like the idea of having some sort of campaign with the different maps. The Shenandoah Valley and on upwards to Gettysburg!

EDIT:
If the devs need anything for Shiloh, I live about 15 minutes away. There's also another user here from Jackson, TN, which isn't too far away.

[Legion]

Chattanooga would be a cool one to do, I went there when I was a kid, it would be cool to experience fighting on that terrain.

Would be interesting to see 1st Bull Run, with all the crazy "uniforms" with some Union troops wearing grey and some Confederates wearing blue.

[Killobytes]

Well we may see some other maps in the far future in the Maryland Campaign, but other than that I would not expect any

[R21]

They have to have a Campaign, it could seriously make this Game if they did it right. They should take take all the good from RO2' Campaign and expand it into something even more in depth and better.

[Legion]

Well we may see some other maps in the far future in the Maryland Campaign, but other than that I would not expect any

They already have multiple maps for the Maryland Campaign and I think they have all the maps for the major battles already done. I'm sure they'll start working on more campaigns as dlc after the game is released.

[Soulfly]

Well WoR started featuring a campaign and i think it would make sense to continue that strategy....my 2 cents are, i would love to see the Fredericksburg Campaign happen as a next step. But first i need to clean my feet walking through the bloody lane.

[Maximus Decimus Meridius]

But first i need to clean my feet walking through the bloody lane.

So we will meet there. (It was the place where the 52nd NY fought.) I will get you :P



I think it would be good if they follow the timeline.

[Hinkel]

.my 2 cents are, i would love to see the Fredericksburg Campaign happen as a next step. But first i need to clean my feet walking through the bloody lane.

Fredericksburg wasn't part of a huge campaign, it was one main battle, without any other battles going on ;)

[Soulfly]

Fredericksburg wasn't part of a huge campaign, it was one main battle, without any other battles going on ;)

well i was thinking that Chancellorsville was part of it, but that was a mistake. So i will correct myself to the Chancellorsville campaign, three battles should be fine :P

[Legion]

2nd battle of Fredericksburg was fought during the Chancellorsville campaign so you kinda get what you wanted even though I would like to see the first battle in game as well.
But what I really want to see is 1&2 manasses and some of the earlier battles before going to later campaigns like Gettysburg.
Also I read a post a while back saying that getysburg would be to hard to do or something because of map size, why not just separate it into smaller maps based off what happened that day or something since it really was just a bunch of smaller battles going on throughout the 3 days.

Well you could split the battle of Gettysburg into the three days the battle happened, this battle is a must. Actually you can create scenarios for those days and set the battle orders for them...like the south captured culps hill on the first day and the union needs to re-capture it and so on....

Considering that, I wonder if they will make it bassicly completly free for "Alternate History", or if there will be some scripted events making the battles more historicly accurate.
What do you mean? I don't think there's gonna be any scripted stuff but idk and The devs said that the game will have a Historical game-mode where the armies start around there historical position but idk if thats what you mean
