Why do Terrain makers get no credit and remain anonymous?
« on: April 18, 2012, 07:55:52 AM »
all the skins made by players are given credit for their work.

yet the terrains submmitted by players are uncredited. a little tiny blurb of a name of the terrain apears in the right top corner with no name of the terrain maker.

who made that grinder map? its beautiful?
who made the other maps? no one even knows.

does anyone in aces high even know who made these maps?

Most of the map whiners have no idea what it takes to make a useable terrain.

With all the whining about some of the maps, I wouldn't want my name on them either.

Your right about that Wiley.  I use the expression "cheap seats" a lot in the Army.  This map sucks because ________________.  Really, have you made a map?  No.....  So how is the view from the cheap seats?  

<S> Map Makers for putting the hours in that others were not willing to! :salute

I get the logic to that statement.  I don't, however believe it negates the gripe.  I don't need to be a chef to know when someone burned the beans.

Map making is a ton of work, and frankly I don't understand why a person would voluntarily put in the time to make one.  IMO they really should have someone whose paid job is to create maps for the MAs.  The map doesn't particularly matter to me most of the time, but I understand why it does to other people.  But, it's not my house, not my rules.

The maker of a terrain can put the authorship on the clipboard map, if desired.
