Hello commanders,
We are back again with the second DevBlog this week. In today’s post, we’ll focus on another new map coming with the WARNO - NORTHAG expansion: Factory.
All new maps coming will be freely available and downloadable for all owners of WARNO.
Let’s go!
Hard at work in Factory
Factory is another new 3v3 map (spanning around 9 km²) that stands out for its massive central industrial zone. This battlefield is inspired by a real location near Wolfsburg, Lower Saxony, West Germany. Kind of curious to know which one of you sleuths can figure out the real spot. Post your suggestions in the comments!
As said, the rather extensive industrial size is a key strategic point on the map, designed for intense action and hardcore fighting. We plan to release additional modes and variants after Factory’s initial release to the public.
To prevent the industrial zones from becoming a massive chokepoint, we made sure to design some bypass options. Likewise, the Command Zones of Factory are all located around the industrial area. This also means that players can maneuver around the central zone.
The fun doesn’t stop here. We included mountain ranges on the map’s edges to give players an additional chance to circumvent the central industrial sectors. A dense network of paths allows units to move quickly (and perhaps discreetly) through this wooded mountainous terrain.
Factory’s design was made to offer players a whole gamut of different tactical options: direct, but brutal engagement in the industrial zone, flanking maneuvers, or a more stealthy flanking approach through the mountains. Ensuring Factory would be represented in the best possible way, we optimized the map’s rendering and performance to the fullest.
We can't wait to hear what you think of Factory!
The new WARNO- NORTHAG expansion
WARNO - NORTHAG is the first major expansion coming to WARNO. World War III hits the North German Plain where the attacking Warsaw Pact needs to overcome the staunch defenses of NATO’s NORTHAG. Under British command, Belgian, Dutch, West German, and American forces battle against the powerful northern formations of the Soviet Group of Forces in Germany, including East German and reinforcing Polish armies. The expansion is planned for later in 2024.
