Go to work  :)

Terrain Editor is a free download.

There is a forum just for helping new guys learn to run it.

All it takes is about 3 months to really do a nice job. Go ahead!



Whats that I hear?













Uhuh, thought so.

Fact is it's not easy to crate maps. It sucks. I've tried (and stopped) 3-4 times. The reason we don't have "more maps" is because there's precious few map-makers. Those that do make maps *are* making maps, but they take a while to make, and there's only so many willing to devote the time to a relatively thankless job.

Well I for one give a BIG Thanks to all the mapmakers, with out them we would be stuck with a small handful of overused maps...................just wish we had a New Training arena Map and a New KOTH map..........

maybe if I submit my old AH1 converted to AH2 KOTH map they could fix it/ finish it and submit it to the Cods..........


then again prob be best if they built it from scracth ......rofl

TC, if you have the original files I believe you can reuse them in the new TE, but all bases/strat have to be redone from scratch (but the land/water is all there). That's just going by what I read when AH2 TE came out

TC, how do you want that map to look like?

It has been a while, but i made a 64miles map once, fully functional strat system, 10 bases (AF and VB, no ports/CV) per country. I cant promise anything since i have a lot of RL work to do, but if you want, you can PM me or send me an email and ill try to see if i can whip up something for KOTH.

Weather and water effects would be nice, but are we asking too much of AH?  I mean, we want those effects, more maps, more planes and Gv's, remodeling of the planes we have, changes in troops, and the list goes on and on.  I don't know how many people they have working there, but that is a lot of work.  Don't get me wrong, I want the changes and updates as much as anyone.  Maybe if there was a priority list everyone could get a better understanding of what is and is not going to happen.

The windows format we are are using has its limits, along with bandwidth.  Maybe if there was a version for Linux it would make some things easier.  Maybe not, I don't know.  I'm not a programmer.

Just think of the thousands of hours spent to get just one part of the game up and running.  They have been added more and more to it all the time.  Even if they stopped now, it is still the best thing out there, at least for now.

These forums are good, not only for the players, but for AH also.  We get to vent and let them know what we want.  They get ideas on how to improve the game.

Sorry, I guess I got off track and subject.   :aok
