Question about map objectives.
In a map I have adapted I have a number of locations that are worth 50 points in the editor, but upon testing the map and occupying the objectives, their value is only 30 points in the end screen?
Any ideas as to why this might be the case?

I've noticed something similar in a scenario I made. I never quite figured it out and pointed it down to some behind-the-scenes ratio calculations, where possible points for objectives and casualties get added together and then somehow it redistributes them at a later stage...
If this is a quick battle map, the game will take the points values you attributed to them in the editor and scale them so that they add up to a total that depends on the battle type.
For example, QB meeting engagement has 600 points for objectives - you cannot change that. If you defined, say, 20 x 50pts objectives in the editor, the game will turn them into 20 x 2030pts so that they add up to 600 400 The remaining 400 600 points can be awarded for enemy casualties.
Probe/Attack/Assault maps have a different allocation for objectives - assault has 750, probe has 500, don't know about attack.

Correction - 400 points for objectives in a ME, not 600.

Nice find, saw your post over at BFC with the same link, already found some ww2-era aerial photos of my own neighborhood on there too!
