Hello my fellow Blitzkrieg comrades. Its been a long time for me, but I'm going to try and get back to making some maps. Something I've been aiming to do for a while now. I've never actually posted a map on here before because it cannot compare to the amazing work that everyone else has on here. But if I can get any advice from anyone on making campaigns I would be greatly thankful.
My dilemmas in map making are mostly trying to create campaign schemes (briefing menus with text and maps) and how to make proper objectives in the maps (Having instructions, correctly named objective steps appear in-game, and giving the little arrows in the mini-map). I realize some of this probably has to do with the resource editor which I am completely useless with
. Also how would I go about making custom units and core units with custom names (by custom I mean just creating a unit with a particular name and maybe more health, nothing to do with editing skins or that sort).
For a very long time I've wanted to make a custom campaign of my own where the player could perhaps become immersed in the story of the campaign; Like a good book maybe. Where there would be characters you like, depend on, or just don't like at all for good reason. I've been a BK1 loyalist for years. I plan to use the GZM 7.77 mod until they have made an update. I love the mod because it tries to stay true to historical accuracy and provides much to use.
I hope to hear from you whether you have advice or even just comments on the idea. Thanks.

puah! ... what's mean? because it miss of something? i plaied any sort of maps during the years, the worst i remember those single missions made for stalingrad and some for HF very very basic. my chapter -far east 37- was surely better of those works. don't think you are worst of who post, and anyway the practise, like in everything, make the rest. i've always believe each of us should share with the community what he makes, so increasing the resources we could have and play, study and eventually edit .. it's all work for us !
