[Close Combat] Saint_Noir [Map]

A Tribute to Normandy

Nearly a year in the making, Saint Noir is a labor of detail and realism — over 300 hours of design built to capture the essence of Normandy. Every hedgerow, flooded field, and winding road has been crafted from real terrain studies to create one of the most authentic battlefields ever made for Easy Red 2.

While Saint Noir itself is fictional, it draws inspiration from countless Norman towns — a flexible, living map that can represent nearly any battle in the region. Designed as both a testing ground for realism and a creative benchmark for future mapmakers, this is Normandy reborn through dedication, imagination, and the will to push Easy Red 2’s limits.

“Saint Noir was my passion project — nearly a year of testing, sculpting, and refining terrain to create the most realistic and immersive map I could make. I wanted this to be a foundation for future creators — proof that Easy Red 2 can feel alive, tactical, and cinematic all at once.”
— Alex Shepherd




-The Noir River-
Flows from south to north, dividing the battlefield with natural beauty and tactical peril. Its banks flood easily, forcing players to plan crossings carefully.

-Bridges of Conflict-
Two key crossings: a rail bridge vital for movement, and a blown road bridge destroyed in retreat by the Germans. A third water lock bridge offers a narrow, high-risk passage point.

-Farmsteads & Homesteads-
Scattered farmhouses and barns provide cover and staging areas for assaults. Each one tells a silent story of the battle’s toll on rural Normandy.

-The Four Roads-
North, South, East, and West — all roads lead to Saint Noir. These arteries converge at the town’s heart, creating intense chokepoints for advancing forces.

-The Church of Saint Noir-
The town’s central landmark and the tallest structure on the map — visible from nearly every direction. A beacon of both hope and devastation.

-Hedgerows & Apple Orchards-
Dense bocage terrain and orchard lines provide natural defense, concealment, and classic Normandy-style combat — forcing close, tactical engagements.

A custom AI cover network built from the ground up. NPCs and bots now use hedgerows, embankments, props, and walls as natural cover — creating dynamic, believable combat behavior and eliminating those classic “standing-in-the-open” moments. This system pushes Easy Red 2’s AI tactics to a new level of realism.
