Yehorivka

Yehorivka (Ukrainian: "Єгорівка") is one of the maps available in Squad. Yehorivka is an Eastern European map, with large terrain, two highways, and two central villages: Petrivka and Novo. The map is characterized by large open plains, patches of forest, some scattered villages, and an industrial storage sight roughly in the center of the map.

This map provides an excellent opportunity to engage in true mechanized warfare, with vehicle transportation being absolutely essential due to the maps size and lack of cover in certain areas.

Yehorivka was added to the game in Alpha 7. Yehorivka was updated in Alpha 12, the playable area on the map was expanded to 5x5 km, which opens up a lot of new possibilities for new layers and completely new flag areas to fight over. The Storage Site area has been replaced with smaller profile villages and hamlets. In addition to accommodating larger vehicles, more cover has been provided for infantry with new points of interest and better forests and ditches.

Trivia

 * Yehorivka is a Ukrainian name. There is no translation to English from this word.
 * Yehorivka is hugely similar, probably based off to the real-life Ukrainian village of Pisky, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine and the surrounding steppe. A lake splits up Pisky just like the villages in Yehorivka. There is also an airport (Donetsk International Airport) nearby Pisky as well as an airport in the southern portions in Yehorivka. Yehorivka also has two main highways intersecting in the north portions which are a coincidence to Pisky having a nearby unfinished highway (due to the War in Donbass) intersecting another highway.
