The Depot
This is the first full size map I've made and it's still a bit of an experiment, not a very coherent map, I just added things as I thought of them. The basic idea of the map is that I tried to restrict the LOS as much as possible and give infantry some houses to take cover in. It's always nicer to get mowed down by a CMG if you're inside a nice house. There are some estethic glitches ( like the ground looking a bit too much like a fairway ), but then again I'm no Michelangelo. 99 % of the graphics are original, I just borrowed the house storey numbers, the cannons on the depot yard and the tree shadows from the much better paid ( deservedly so ) artists at Atomic. The AI by the way can't fight on this map, period. I don't know if it's something to do with the LOS-file or terrain or what, The AI simply sucks. He's not that bad on defense, but AI-attacks are a sad sight. Gotta love that Maxim in the belltower. Hope you enjoy it,

And for the brave modem-people the low-fat version 50k
And finally, The Zip-file ( 8 megs )
I'd like to thank KwazyDog for his mapmaker, Dreaded88 for his roof file maker ( though it might have been a nice challenge to insert 57 roof files with a hex editor..... NOT! ), TinTin for his Texturemaker, Vince Viaud for the LOS-file tool, Mick(xe5) for the mapmaking FAQs and everybody at the cc3.gamestats.com editing forum for some good tips. And I'd also like to thank my left ankle for breaking thus giving me an annoyingly itchy cast and a month of freetime to make this map.
