Here's a question; is there an object that would work as a TT city already in the TE? If I used any of the factory tiles, they'd have to be "customized" to get rid of the AA guns, yet there's a TT map already. Is that one exception to "customized" tiles on an MA map?

Yes, and it's called ttown0 NOT city.

You don't need to modify anything.

Thanks NHawk. Can't believe I didn't think of that.

One more question that a search yielded too many results to sort; If I place a Port centered in a grid, the ground underneath the docks remains and is solid. Trying to move it around makes it look horrible or doesn't work. What's the correct procedure for actually placing ports these days?

I don't quite understand what your saying.. You don't set ports on land you set them on water connected to land. Then you select it all and rotate it.

The more I read this thread the more I get this overwhelming feeling of "Uh-Oh!".

Ooz...since you have some bases placed already, build the terrain and fly it offline. See if it's what you intended it to be.

I get that feeling a lot in this forum.

Still, like you, I try to be helpful without discouraging anyone and sometimes that's hard to do.

One thing I notice is the comparative width of the fronts. As drawn, the SE front is only two bases wide (75 miles) while the other two fronts are up to 4 bases wide (150 miles.) I think you'll gain a lot of experience working on this but don't become married to it, keep your options open, and don't be afraid to start more then one at the same time.

I have been. Frequently. Though it's a little smoother than I'd hoped, I like it.

I only have about five of sixty fields left to place. Then spawn points. I need to learn how to manually do a road for one base and widen out the northern canal. Then, theoretically, I should be done. Never works that way, though.

I'm just going to go all the way through one before I branch, to catch all the sticking points is all.

EDIT: As to the SE front, I may add another small field that's about ready to fall off the map. The GV spawns in that area are also to be slightly leaning toward an advantage for the southern country.

EDIT2: I forgot to ask. I saw a while ago in an update that CVs no longer need maprooms. True?

No, CVs still need maprooms. They just don't show as yellow dots in the terrain anymore. And make sure you set it for No Collide, otherwise you can capture with 20mm.
