It's nice that you gents are trying to abuse this post to sort of help Vriacu get even with me. Still that is rather petty of all of you.
Sometimes as I work on this terrain it evolves becasue I'm busy creating the micro terrain around airfields and in the river valleys and don't generate a map for awhile. To use a tree tile to help give tanks more cover from the spawns up to the fields, I had to create the illusion of a globally exposed strata along the walls of the river valleys. It is what makes the micro hills look like the Texas hill country in the earlier screen shots. I have one more country to go on the right side of the map for spawns and micro terrain around feilds. I'm getting sick of the micro terrain becasue it's like I'm building 96 tank combat arenas inside of this giant air combat arena. Then, I'm hoping Hitech fixes the resupply convoys and trains not running so I can install all of those and once again revisit all of those tiny combat arenas I just created. The error checker in the terrain editor has been updated so I cannot submit this terrain until the resupply network is in.
I've have been consistent for almost two years now. When you build a terrain like I do and get it accepted into the MA. Then come sit on my grass and we will talk about terrains. You gents are being petty.
The top of those shelves on each side of the river that the river has cut down through is 660ft. I created a canyon system and eroded the land down in steps. Yes the terrain editor has a handy little tool that does erosion. If you predominately build from the perspective of an air combat fan in the game, you will build "over scale" as a natural tendency to wanting to see topographical structures while in flight. When you fly above canyons, they don't look like they do to you while you are walking in them. Often the ground is pretty monotonous from altitude. This is the quandary of scale I have to work while making the game look like it is scaled for tanks crawling on the ground in those hills and gully's this post started out about.
