Thanks, guys.

Treize, those are in the works... it's just a matter of time and priorities. :(

How would a few strategically placed bottles of scotch affect priorities? ;)

Nitpicking, but from the looks of it, there seems to be connection between main Jutland and the northern part a couple of places. In reality this is an island, with, at the time, 3 bridges crossing the fjord.

Thanks, Snefens. That map was made with only the elevation data at that time; it may or may not reflect what the terrain actually is after building, it's really only to show the general scope and layout.

We try to double-check things like that when we're actually in that area in the TE, so maybe Kanttori caught it already. If not, I'll see that it gets taken care of.

Let us know if there are other things you spot. It's great to have the input from a "local" :)

Following up on your comment, Snefens... Kanttori built it right. :) He's the man!

It's a great-looking terrain... we hope to have it up very soon.

Question... do you have any screenies of the fjords? Will be very interesting to see how well you can get the fjord look in...

This is a picture from sognefjorden at about the sector 11 5 and 11 4 border...

That's really funny that you posted that pic, Tex... when the map was initially laid out (elevations loaded and only minimal type-assignment made) I was impressed with how well it was matching the pictures I had found online. I even posted a screenshot in the Terrain Team forum showing the comparison. The real picture I found is long since unavailable, but the screenshot is still available...



It all looks even better than this now. It's going to be a fun map. :)

ps. I'll see if I can match that shot from the terrain.

The moral of todays story- don't turn on your autolevel at wavetop height and go AFK for too long...

Lookin' great!!!
