War of Rights - Patch Notes

[MrMundy]

Now, I will keep back my judgement before having actually played the map with 60 players, but it seems to be way too big. You have to walk for a good 2-3 minutes until you arrive at the actual battlefield, then you got good chances of either being shot in the face or to be killed by the terrible RNG Arty. Espacially the latter is more rage inducing than anything else.

If I am entirely mistaken with this, then excuse me. But just touring the map I have been killed by arty twice already.


Also where are the confederates supposed to stand? On the ridge? They will get shot into pieces. Any further back and you got no means of controling the point.

Was on with Mundy... large open fields, with a low setting (could be rising) sun. The CSA have quicker access to the fenced road thus defensive position, with the Union looking like they'll have the ridge. Feels a big map, but with the arty and openness, you feel vulnerable.

The map is supposed to be large. It marks the first advance that kicked off the battle and thus is not meant as an instant sort of action map. Once flag bearer spawning is introduced you'll be able to stick with your regiment better throughout the round.

It is a rough place to defend as the CSA, yes (as it was in real life - the divisions had to fall back until Hood's division came up for a counter attack straight into the cornfield (which will be featured in another skirmish area). I wager you'll look forward to some of the larger, open areas once you've been fighting in the cornfield for an entire match.

Ah, very well. I already figured that the flag bearer stuff will be important. I am so used to just sitting behind a fence all day long that I didn't expect this map to be intended somewhat differently.
I frankly doubt I will get tired of fighting in the corn field though - since you can't . You will get slain for deserting if you do go in there.

It just seems like the Confederates are at a massive disadvantage here. Either we sit behind the fences and try to pick the Feds off while they cap the point; we push them back with the bayonet every time, or we sit on the hill itself. But none of these seem like a good idea.
But this is pointless on my part, I havn't played the map so I should really shut myself up.

You will be when we release Hood's counter push.
