    Battle of South Mountain (Where is it?)

    I realize the Dev team is working hard on adding skirmish areas for the Antietam Map, and we have seen screenshots of Harpers Ferry. But why none of South Mountain? The last time I've seen it mentioned was from Field Report 11. 4 YEARS AGO

    Or Shepherdstown


    You can get a glimpse of South Mountain in their kickstarter video @ 7:39

    We had 2 huge engine updates since the Kickstarter Campaign, besides that we added a bunch of new map props as well as plants, both maps need massive improvements and kinda a total rework. Mapping is a very hard work and needs plenty of time. Right now, we are concentrating on Antietam and Harpers Ferry. Once we will focus our work on these 2 battlefields, you will see updated screenshots

    Graphically the current build is a vast improvement compared to the kickstarter video.

    In the far distant future will custom mapping be a thing?

    That would be very cool. The community could create other parts of the war.

    Custom mapping is not that easy.

    Our Antietam map for example is as big as the entire Kingdom Come: Deliverance world. And we have 4 maps, which are that big

    It would be cool, to have the ability to add custom map support in the future, so people could create maps, using our assets. But that won't happen any time soon.

    I'm not sure I understand the strategy in having the maps all rendered at once and not chopped up into smaller bits. It doesn't mean much to a player to look at a server list and see "Antietam" as every map playing when it could be one of many scenarios. If the community is healthy enough, people will do it. I knew a guy who did it off a Czech game (H&D2) and that was in no way supposed to even be possible.

    Well it doesn't make sense, unless they're planning on running the full battle as one huge event.
