I've always wanted to do a map, but the TE is so frustrating to work with...

I put 20 hours of work into one, and then quit.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

It occurs to me that this may be partially by design...  I expect that the TE is a natural choke point to prevent HTC from getting bombarded by a couple hundred map makers all demanding that their maps be reviewed and put into the rotation immediately.

I might have kept up on it if it weren't for the maddening length of time required to create the landmasses. And lack of an easy way to view the entire terrain makes placement of islands into rough estimation in the absolute best of cases, and pure guesses in most cases  :bhead.

This is the sum of last weeks work, including Sunday when we were snowed in at home. I never thought drawing a simple grid could be such a royal PITA.

If that is what I think it is. The up coming wow factor will be worth waiting for the next step in Aces High's evolution.

Thank you.

That's the beginning layout for the large scale map room "Minesweeper" game or "Tetris" -  HiTech still hasn't decided yet.

I'm trying to push him towards this:

"B-7"

"Awww - You sank my Battleship!"
 :bolt:

So, ships will be harder to sink in the next version?  :bolt:
