Make some noise here for a new terrain
« on: March 23, 2022, 03:51:53 PM »
JimmyD3/Kenai77 has submitted the ETO terrain for the MA ("ETOMA") to Hitech.   I've heard it called "the terrain Aces High has needed for 20 years..."

Who wants this terrain put into the rotation?  I'm not sure how much work it is for Hitech to process/approve/install this terrain, but I know it requires at least some time and effort on his part.  So how about a show of support here to let Hitech know how much you want it.    :rock     



Don't be shy, respond with a  :aok or a  :rock  and  let's get this party started!

 :x

I too hope it makes it into the game, as well as the others he has. I think this would be a great shot in the arm for the players.

I wonder if it would be a viable option to hard lock the map for a few days, even if it's rolled.  :headscratch:  It would go a good ways into testing out the map. :)

Sounds like a great idea!

Does the terrain match each region? I.e. in N Africa is it desert, and Ardennes is forest, etc?
They're casting their bait over there, see?

Other than the fact that this map may be a bit large given current player numbers, I’d love to see it put into rotation… If for no other reason then immersion.

Given the fact that HTC hasn’t developed anything in the last 3 to 4 years, what would Hitech’s be to adding a new terrain?

I’ve had an active account for over 20 years and am Ready to call it quits. This might keep me around a few more months.

Awesome! I actually think there would be some good fights and choke points on this map. I also really like that all 3 sides can engage each other at the same time near North Italy. It is pretty large but i think the choke points and small fronts will create good fights.

Definitely  a  :aok for me.

That is a false statement.

The cities locations are close to real life locations of London, Rome and Berlin.   The rivers are correct, the Cliffs of Dover are there, as is the Rock of Gibraltar.   The Dardanelles strait has been widened to accomodate fleet passage.   I think the land type is mostly mixed forest and open space, but there are mountains where mountains are supposed to be - and North Africa does appear to be desert-like from the clipboard map, though I haven't travelled there.
