Map I am working on "The HighLands"

[Clifra Jones]

Yes, HT commented in another post in General Forum regarding this map. 6K it will be.

I noticed that there are pretty empty areas at 12,7 and at 12,13,+ ...almost like 1 base missing at both areas??

[Clifra Jones]

I redesigned the map and redid the elevation map. I still have not put the bases in as I was not satisfied with the terrain yet. I put 3 bases in so I could fly the map.

I think this will do.

I reduced the size of each continent a but and seperated them some.

There are no deep canyons or steep unnatural mountains. The goal here was to produce a northern glaciated terrain.
(real rock & snow tiles would be nice. hint, hint HTC)

Central mountain ranges max out at aroud 15K

I can make you a clipboard map if you want. I'm not quite as good as Dux but look at my SCMAS post. Id tone down on the snow tiles tho only put them on highest points of elv.

[Clifra Jones]

It actually look more loke rock than snow.

I will do more tweeking once I get the bases in so it doesn't take so long to fly around. Joystick doesn't work in TE.

A crisp clear clipboard map is very important. The one you did for SCMAS is very nice and Dux, as always, makes excellent clipboard maps.

SC ... are you still going forward with your SCMAS map ?

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.
 

Actually, its enough if you place one Vbase (you can put it in water tile, that way you dont need to worry about elevations).

Then use the CM Eye Mode (offline) to fly around your terrain.




And thats one great looking terrain there Clifra. Thanks for your effort! >S<

the bases look to close together (dbl ck with Htc ) i think they have a min distance for a MA map

the other thing is all the strat objects are grouped too close .. they should be scattered across each home isle  and they have a resupply timing factor i believe ( train /convoy lines have to be so long )

id sugest you submit the base/map layout to Skuzzy 1st if your intent is a MA map.

Looks pritty good though
