Nuget,
You and this audience knows from your past conduct that you will put your fingers in your ears and repeat, it's only real if Hitech answers my questions so I'm ignoring all of you fun police, nenner, neener, neener. Even Hitech has his limits, he is very nice but, the only over worked programmer for this game. He provided a free terrain building editor for his customers.
1. - How many square miles are in 25x25miles? Then transpose that to a 20x20 terrain and a 10x10 terrain. There will be your square mile limitation for the real world transfer of a geo map.
2. - Ask the AvA and Special Events terrain building teams how they get around the limitations in 1.
3. - As Devil linked you to the Terrain Editor forum, Artik has a free program in there that will pull in any geo map you point it to based on his instructions and burp out a terrain editor compatible heightmap file for you to import and turn into a terrain for the arenas.
4. - The Melee arena terrains have to be balanced for 3 sides because it's a sandbox fantasy combat arena using WW2 toys. It is not WW2 being simulated. Unless you can wrap your reality around that fact, you are barking into a dark empty room with no one willing to help you.
As Devil pointed out, you want a terrain, get of your tushy and build your terrain just like the rest of us paying customers do.
