Hello everyone!
We’re excited to share the Piana map release date with you all! Next week, September 7, you’ll be able to play on this new map!
As stated in our roadmap, this update will also come with Mac Support!
Piana Map
Back to the two original factions, this map features the Italians and the Austro-Hungarians. With the Italians on the attacking side, they first need to make their way through No Mans Land, where you can find a crashed aircraft.
The first section, Monte Piana, only has one objective; capturing the area around the Piramide Carducci, the stone pyramid. The objective lies deeper into the section towards the left side (from the Italian POV), making it accessible from different sides. There are many paths, trenches and cabins connected that can offer you some guidance and help to help you get there, may you be defending or attacking. Don’t forget that you’re on a mountain, so there are different types of altitude combined with stairs and buildings that might provide the flank or cover you are looking for.
Once the Italians are successful in capturing their objective, the match moves to the second section. Again, a No Mans Land area must be crossed, which sees a significant drop in height before making it towards the new objectives. This area is called Forcella dei Castrati.
This new section, Monte Piano, has two objectives; another point cap and destruction. The point-cap objective is towards the side of the mountain, where several cabins are built alongside the ridges and connected through wooden stairs and planks. It’s easy to get lost here, friends and foes can come from multiple sides. Before you can claim the side as your own, you have to be sure that no one from the opposite team is there, which might be a tricky part. Who knows who might be hiding around the corner in a cabin. And the walls won’t protect you from potential gas attacks that might be sent your way…
On the other side, there will be a canon that needs to be destroyed (or defended). A trench will be leading your way towards this objective, alongside other pathways that provide less cover. Be sure to hold your ground, as this could be your final objective of the map and give you the victory! Will you celebrate victory with a bang or will you go out with a blast?
We hope you all look forward to this new map! The team also continues to work on the upcoming bigger expansions, so prepare your snow boots for the upcoming updates!
