That can be duplicated in a 10x10, just fewer islands and cap the central mountains to 12-15k. As for the ditches, they can be 10k deep if that floats your goat. The default Euro tile set has two kinds of sand and grassland with bushes. Rock tile sets will add their own sparse spaced trees depending on the slope angle. Do you remember if the land gently ran down to the shores or suddenly shouldered over and down from say 1-2k?

This thing is simple, plop down ground in a big dot set to 2k. Cut the water canals and cut out the canyon trenches. Push up the central highlands to 17k, there is a bulldozer tool in the TE. You can hand sculpt the drop to the shoreline or use a 90day preview of L3DT. After that, plop down your field objects and spawns, and avoid beating your cats after testing every single spawn on the map...... :bhead

Was hoping this thread was about the 1999 pizza terrain  :old:

Yeah it was a riot. There were some wicked battles on this map.  :cheers:

A modernized version with the same terrain features would be awesome. Perhaps a smaller map grid area with a different field arrangement.

If anyone can provide the old terrain or any other info I would be willing to try my hand at it in a few weeks when I get back from vacation. I have old versions of AH I could run to get started but I can't find the terrain itself.

I think USRanger was going to work on this a couple years ago.

I remade the actual physical terrain, but never laid any fields.  We'll see for AH3.  I've got so many terrains to convert it hurts my head.

I'm going to ask on my squad's BB.  It was made by an Arabian Knight years ago, that's why it's called AKDesert, but i can't remember who it was.

Yeah it was hilarious, a lot of people were saying that the particular color palate of that terrain was actually causing them physical pain.

I asked around, but no luck.  The map was created by AKCurly and he has not been around the squad since 2008.

Wow thanks for checking AKQwik.  :salute

An updated version of this map would be awesome for open melee rotation.

Looks like USRanger must've found a copy of the map used in the rotation.

USRanger if I can help out let me know. Got some free time to try my hand at it.
