Map I am working on "The HighLands"

[Clifra Jones]

256 mile map. Created the elevation bitmap in PaintShop Pro and then used TileSet.exe to set the tiles.

Each country would own a continent and the islands would start out with mixed field ownership. I.E. ownership of the islands is the reason for the conflict.

I was targeting this for the EW with close airfields.

One issue I have is that my coastlines are rather steep.

Very nice use of the tileset.exe program, if you set it up correctly I can see this being used as an MA terrain.

This is where NHawk comes in, I can't comment if this is a good MA map or not, all I can say is it looks great!:aok

awsome looking map..... I hope to see it in the MA.

But there is something i would request...................... ....................






















TT spawns to the island in 10.10 if this would be used as a Mid War terrain.

great map:aok

Do you mean PT spawns?

Looks good.

My recommendations....

Switch the north country HQ with the factory group to equalize threats from the other 2 countries.

Make sure CVs can navigate all of the narrow passages. Especially in 5-13, 6-13.

Check airfield altitudes and make sure they are at 6k max per HT in your other thread.

Move or put something in sector 12-7.

Look at sector 7-5 area. It's a long ride to that southern base.

Scatter your factories throughout the terrain. Unless you are intentionally creating a bomber's paradise.

Before you start placing bases, actually fly the terrain. I can't tell from the map, but it appears that it may have large bands of flat areas or just be a uphill gradient. If you don't like the way it looks, change it.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will look at all of them.

Unless I can get my CH stick to work with the TE the only way I can fly the map is to place some bases and fly it offline.

The terrain is basically stepped. It's not flat on each step. I pland on doing some modifications once I can fly around and look at how it looks.

Whats the highest point  of the map?

[Denholm]

I'm guestimating 8,000 Feet.

6k i herd from other post

[NHawk]

6k is maximum base altitude not maximum terrain altitude.
