As my map gets closer and closer to becoming at least complete enough for a good beta run, I have had mixed reviews from real life friends as to whether or not the map is offensive? If people find it too much so, then I will simply never publish it and play it privately.
Here is the basic storyline of the map:
Time Period/Location: a modified WW2 timeline in Europe
You are one of several heroes from several different regions, current heroes [more will be added eventually]:
British
Commando
a soldier unit, has several functions and grenades
Royal Sniper
a tactical sniper hero
-German-
- Wehrmacht Soldier
a soldier unit, has several functions and pipe bombs
- SS Occultist
a specialist troop, has abilities based on German/Norse mythology
- Specialist Tactician
a unit that uses special weapons, flame throwers, poison bombs, etc
Russian
- ROA trooper
a soldier, bonus movement speed on snow is main specialty, recon abilities
If you are on British/Roman sides, you attack Germany, and from encampments in neighboring countries, depending on locations based somewhat on actual history, + slight sub stories depending on which hero you pick.
If you are on German side, you are defending Germany from invasion.
The SS occultist by far has the most intricate and interesting storyline, not to reveal too much but he wakes up from a dream in which a Norse God comes down to him and tells him Ragnarok is now, and he must defend Germany.
Although my friends have given my map positive review, some seemed worried that a game where Germany is looked at from an invasion perspective might be offensive to some.
