I didna read all you wrote, but i'll just say while I love the bowlma terrain not all terrains have to be round--there are other terrains that came before Buzzsaw and Bowlma that are not round.

No I do not know how to design a terrain- nor do I have the computer power to do it. that why I do appreciate the the work people do in making maps. Thankyou

I suppose you probably won't read all of this either lunatic, reminds me of people who don't hear what you tell them until you agree to do what they want even if it kills you. They just want what they want......

Does this mean if you were the final review to yea or nay all terrains for the MA you would force everyone to build them your way? So I guess since you are unhappy about "round" which you can only see from a low earth orbit snap shot called a clip board map, I should scrap the terrain I've just started. Flush all that time spent researching and teaching myself how to create a grayscale heightmap file to import into the terrain editor so I could cut out a month or so of really tedious work. It took me two months to get all of the land mass cutting finished on that other terrain.

There was a player who was aggressively adamant about my first terrain being a strategic failure of epic proportions, that you seem to like playing on. So I offered to make him happy by asking Hitech to delete it from rotation and all of the files related to it. I can do without the headaches terrain building will always slam me with. Like the lost 60 minutes of work today that I had to duplicate for another 60 minutes. So why don't I just delete the new project because you don't like looking at round terrains in the clipboard more than you like playing on them and put it out of my misery.

Will that be ok with you lunatic, otherwise I will build my terrains the way I want to build them. 

So if you are unhappy with mine and other players terrains being some form of "round", I'm documenting terrain making in screen captures for you and whoever else is "unhappy". Why not bring together unhappy players like yourself and create "your square terrains" as a group effort? You gents design it and be the review committee at every stage. There has to be one player in the community willing to invest his time and creative abilities into your projects, happily take your creative orders from beginning to end, and not unfriend you for life.

That post in the Terrain Editor forum is the most you will get out of me, and even it takes time at each step to pull screen captures, and write about them in a meaningful manner.
