I've uploaded the latest version of the terrain to the server. This has V base chains and an increased field count of 120, which should mean 8 fields from each of the other countries now need to be captured in order to win the war.

You can download the terrain file from this link:- CraterMA terrain. Put it in your ahiiterr folder and it will appear in the drop down list of terrains for offline use when you click on the "Choose Terrain" button on the start up screen.

I suppose I'd want both a new strat system and new maps best able to take advantage of it.

I'm not sure I could make a terrain if I tried, I run textures at 256 as my box is 10 years old, and all I get when I go to the 2048 is white.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Fester, Bruv and I are currently working on new MA maps. Mine is just about done, unless I think of something else to do to it before it is checked by HTC. Fester's I believe is nearing completion as well while Bruv's is in the early stages.

My map is up on the HTC server. if you log on to AH, hit the "create server" button and select "craterma" as the terrain you can get a sneak preview.

You don't open it to read it, you down load it to the terrain folder of the game. Then you start the game and click on "load terrain". Select the crater one from the list, then play off line to fly in it.

You don't need Adobe reader, it is not a pdf file. Just click on the link in any web browser and save the file to your hard drive. Then transfer it to your ahiiterr folder.

I was toying with the idea of trying to create a terrain, but I forgot about the hardware aspect.  My system sounds similar to yours (Dell Dimension 8300 with AGP...).   :(

Greebo, don't make changes on your map based on a single players ideas..... other than your own of course.  :D

Meaning no disrespect to TDeacon but what does he know about map lay-out? He may have ides, but who's to say their right. Your the designer. YOU decide what you want. I'm sure you had an idea of how the map would play out. Tweaking the SP is a good compromise, but I don't think reworking the whole map to please one guy is a good idea. What are you going to do when the guy shows up and complains about GV bases being in a chain?

Go with the idea you had. Make changes because YOU want to, not because someone else tells you to.

Ideally, we should respond to the logic behind the suggestions, rather than to the person making the suggestions.  If accepted, this logic then becomes part of the the artist’s personal perspective, and thus in the end they are doing “what they want”.  For example, when I did my P51 skin, I got a huge amount of advice from other players.  I assimilated the stuff I agreed with (which was most of it), but I appreciated all the input.   The only time one would object to input is when it is hostile.

Agreed, I just didn't want Greeb's running off making whole sale changes on the word of one guy, no matter who that guy is. Input is good, but it's still up to the guy doing the work as to whether it works for him or not.
