Reworked siege maps showcase (Major settlements)

Pico0 · January 21

Seems like CA agreed to let some youtubers show some of the new siege maps:

Erengrad:

Castle Drakenhof:

Karak Kadrin:

Nuln:

IMHO it looks great, pretty much all maps give at least the option to attack differents side, there are some bridges and high points to help the defenders and the street has been made more spacious to allow for moving more units. If all former maps are transformed like this and AI can handle it properly, it should make siege battles more interesting.

New settlement maps look great!

Stephince · January 21

What's with all the mountains around Altdorf? It's on a river flood plain.

Surge_2 · January 21

oof, those are going to take time to break down. I hope they fixed AI Pathing...

GBone · January 21

That final capture point for Karak Kadrin looks a massive pain to capture/great fun to defend.

Erengrad a single province large city with huge importance to the kislev campaign. Large port city.

Yet it has no port, no sea and less buildings than a castle

Krunch · January 22

What I don't get is that Erengrad was literally hand crafted for the Kislev campaign, they had every oppurtunity to make it unique. So why doesn't it have a port, and why does it look so destitute? It should be a rich port city, not some seaside cliff fortress.

Furthermore there is enough space for a port on that map lol Altdorf is not enough ... Urban ? For a 100.000 habitants city. Too much empty spaces full of grass. No River crossing it.

Well, some maps could have been even better that is sure. But it is still far better than what we got. Hopefully they could upgrade some of them latter.

Can't wait to see some others in the future immortal Empire campaign like Karaz A Karak, Couronne, etc.

Mazisky · January 22

I really want to see Bretonnia new maps. Can't wait for Immortal Empires

Storeslem · January 22

the roads are too big and there is no houses in kislev lol

Steph_F_David · January 22

The roads are not too big... They are the size they need to allow placing some units in them, real size would make them unplayable.

1v0 · January 22

I like them too, I just would like to see more unique maps for major capitals ! Can't wait to see the Immortal empire citys (karaz a karak) and how Dark elfs maps look.

Pede · January 22

They look crazy good. Very impressive.

Only problem is with the AI,which i think will have trouble reacting properly in these maps.

darkgaia01 · January 22

i didn't like Altdorf to much due to the missing river but also it just looks really bare and empty compared to some of the other empire cities they showed.

Yeah Altdorf is literally a minor settlement map with a wall round it. Look at the osterwald map

Castle Drakenhof is absolutely stunning! I love they redone vistas and sky for every map

I didn't like much Sky in WH2 missing sun and moon now they seem to add this feature back.

Leping · January 22

Nuln is astonishing, not much as a Nuln despiction (Lack of "factory town" vibe for me), but as a great empire town where you can easly imagine citizen live here (Market, lot's of house, smal alley, garden, and a background with even more building to make your imagination do the rest). It's great !

Altdorf could be this one and i will have no complain at all for vanilla map (Modder can add more lorefull personification later. It's micromanage at this point and i can believe CA already made a lot for siege map and need to put ressources elsewhere. Who know ?)

But it's not, and Nuln look more as a capital of the empire than Altdorf himself.

Altdorf look more as a fortress before the main town, like the Vauban fortification in France (Like in Empire Total War where you don't attack the cities themselve)

It's the only jusitification i can find and it's pretty underwhelming.

But i think it should not overshadow the great job done at making the map more interesting gamplaywise, like everybody asked in the previous games.

Tennisgolfboll · January 22

AI cant play anyway so before that gets fixed this pointless

Leping · January 23

I don't see the IA fail that much, minor settlement seem difficult engouh to take for the youtubers i've seen

Its based on the Warhammer II map looks almost identical besides more room to siege.

caladbolgftw · January 23

Nuln needs to have a bigger metal bridge in the middle

What a waste of a wall for a faction without range units.

If they build a outpost in my city sure but even so VC do not have range units it's a strange wall for a faction that will not have range unless you do very specific things....

If it's Altdorf i've not most of the issue i've bring here anymore. I'm not sure if a river cross it or not, but i can imagine that in that massive background.

Now we have, for a capital, a beliviable amount of building, détails, crowed house and alley... It's a town and not a forteress anymore

It's a good job, like Nuln. I hope we will have a diffrent map for Erengrad with an actual port and all will be pretty good for a realese i think
