Dawn of War Codex

I'm in the process of making a few maps and I think now would be a good time to ask what the community wants from new maps. There is always a demand for new 3v3 maps but don;'t be afraid to ask for something else.

I've attached a poll where you can vote for what sort of map you want to see most. You have two options to go for because they aren't mutually exclusive, making a volcanic ice world would be hard, but it's possible! Elite could do with some new maps to keep it fresh.

There is quite a lot of eldar and orkish stuff that is mostly not used in current 3v3 maps, could be nice to see xenos (not-tyranid) themed maps. I was doing one myself but i guess it aint gonna be finished anytime soon

Anything but no Volcano, Jungle (jungle maps are often too unoptimised), SpaceHulk, Swamp, Tyranids.
Desert and Snow are da best.
And please please please - we need 2vs2 maps!!!

Show me dem Volcano and Jungle ones! We don't have enough of them

I had this idea for a 1v1 Map, but i discovered the editor is far less noob-friendly that i imagine it to be.
Feel free to try it if you think is actually possible, i think it would look extremely cool.

Basically i was trying to do as all the Map is a huge bombarded Cathedral.
One players start on the front, down the staircase and into the main hall and the other on the back from a cementery-like park and into a breach from the Organ area.

Two wings in the middle, accessible from each side from both the ouside and the main hallway.
The rest is set like a medieval church, but in 40k scale of course, with the Altar as the center Victory point.

I really liked this idea! A complite new contept! Buti if we imagine a huge Cathedral, is it possible for 2v2?

Anything that isn't white. Not being able to see unit selectors is really annoying!

So, as long as it isn't snow, I'm game!

Calderis Refinary with city skin?

Because we dont have enough Calderis Refinery versions already.

PS.: That was sarcasm.

Sadly, it would be easier to make a cathedral map in snow, but keep the ideas coming.

If we gather all the suggestions and try to formulate the perfect map it would be something like this:

An orkish/eldar map that is not a volcano, jungle, space hulk, swamp or tyranid based one, which has snow (not too much though) and desert in it, with some cathedral parts, combined with some urban style setpieces, that consist only of jungle and volcano parts. Which should be like calderis refinery but not like the map at all.

HF making that map.

If you do put a volcano in, make sure that there's a scary face on it.

Iraq or Syria basicially.

More 3v3s would be a lovely idea especially ones with sprawling metropolises, cathedrals, dockyards, cityscapes, factories!! I mean hell you could make a map with a giant building in the center which you can actually fight under!!

I love urban combat, and trench warfare combining the two would be a wonderful dream come true!! I still remember fighting on Tartarus in Dawn of War 1 within the massive city of Magna Bonum holding the line with nothing but 4 Imperial Guard squads.

Just remember my members are on standby to test out any of the new maps that you produce, just give the word on the clan page as usual.

You had to all pick city maps... the most irritating to balance. Alright good job one is in the pipeline.
