Kolva Ridge

A timbered ridge in the Ural foothills carrying VRG's relay towers and the power line to its drone works. HALCYON wants the high ground for a sensor array.

Kolva Ridge in game — In game, from 30 m above the saddle between the two fronts, looking north up Pylon Road. Today's build on a local test server on Harbor (never the live one), no HUD. Maps 1000–1003 from main; 1004–1006 from the maps branch. The per-map skies and grades of LORE.md are not in main yet (they are on the looks2 branch), so every map still wears the same warm sky.

Kolva Ridge overview: objectives lettered as on the HUD, spawns, lanes, scale — Overview drawn from the map file: objectives as the HUD letters them, spawn camps, attack axes and vehicle lanes, landmark names, scale bar (tools/lore-maps.mjs).

Kolva Ridge top-down render with objectives — Top-down render from the game client (camera straight down, fog off) with the same objectives projected on it.

Size tier: MEDIUM: 2 sectors, 128 players, 1000 × 800 m. Generated by gen-front.mjs (maps branch).
Modes: Domination, two sectors (two fronts side by side over one ridge).
Region and climate: taiga on the western foothills of the Urals, VRG's home ground. Early winter, the first snow on the crest.
Time and weather: late afternoon under a high overcast; a cold low sun, light flurries, long blue shadows.
Holds / attacks: VRG holds the ridge; HALCYON attacks from the south.
Why it matters: the ridge carries VRG's relay towers and the high-voltage line that feeds its drone works. A HALCYON sensor array on the crest would watch every hammer leave the factory.
Vehicles: per side four trucks, an APC per platoon (two) and a mobile AA, plus an AA gun pit (MEDIUM tier; pads at the home camps).
Palette and sky: spruce #22302A, snow on the crest #E3E6E8, granite #6E7072, raw timber #C2A36E, pylon rust #7D4B33, cold haze #B7C2CC. Sky: high overcast with snow (wanted: a cold overcast puresky; snowy_field from the starter kit is the nearest).
Soundscape: wind over the crest, power lines humming and crackling, spruce creaking, a sawmill gone silent, ravens, snow underfoot.
Music: MAP-1005 "Pylon Line", 108 BPM, cold and driving: a humming synth bass and power-line crackle, big drums arriving on the crest.

Landmarks

Objective (HUD)	Landmark	What it is
A, B	Sawmill Hall (west front)	The west front's hall between A (200, 610) and B (300, 610). Burn-offs: the mill stacks at y 300; cooling: the log-pond tanks at y 460.
C, D	Relay Hall (east front)	The east front's hall between C (700, 610) and D (800, 610), the relay towers' control room.
–	The Crest	The ridge across both fronts at y ≈ 520–535 with the bunker lines on it: dead ground for the defenders, the first big fight.
–	Pylon Road	The flank roads at x = 440 and 560 where the two fronts meet under the power line; trucks and APCs climb here.
–	Kolva Mast	The summit relay mast behind the halls (500–530, 650–720), the defenders' sensor array.

Lanes and where the fights happen

Each front is a Vesna-sized fight: an infantry centre and two flank roads (x = 60 / 440 west, 560 / 940 east).
The burn-offs fall fast; the Crest is where attacks stall. The APCs and the mobile AA on Pylon Road decide whether a front breaks.
