First v1.10 zone terrain

[LePaul]

Well, its certainly a neat looking map...can't say if I like it til I fly it some  

As someone that's tried to get the hang of the terrain editor and make my own maps, my hats off to the AKs.  Making a map isn't easy...I havent tried in a while, but from what I'm seeing, its documented a lot better (How to do it...) but still requires a lot of time and effort.

And I'm not so sure my good humor would take such pre-release critiques nicely.  Seems whenever we beg for a "bone" and get a screenshot, some of you tear it to pieces.  Then, you wonder why there are no new screenshots.  And the vicious cycle persists.

Congrats, AKs....

Looking forward to duking it out in DiGornio-Land

from here on the ground... or from 20,000ft above it... can u tell the shape of the continent you live on?

I think not , so I can hardly see what difference it makes +)

Wow......I thought HT was joking.

Obviously the map wont look lke a pizza while your flying over it but damn, everytime you go to the tower youll be looking at a  dietary nightmare.  Thats right!  Pizza is a high source of the worst kind of fat, saturated fat.  And worse, pizza is like sheep.  It has NOTHING to do with a combat simulator.  Its lighthearted and fun of course........

I wouldnt think of criticizing the folks that put the time into the terrain.  Too much hard work.  But I would and do criticize the fact that having a terrain that looks amazingly (intentionally or not) like a pizza kind of reminds me how much more of a game AH is as compared to a serious simulation.

I was terribly excited early on by the simulation in AH but as time goes by Im reminded more and more how its the game in AH thats been so successfull.  This has incerasingly put me off more and more as time goes by.  Im the type that truly gets his enjoyment out of the simulation.  Great game though.......

I hesitate to reply somtimes cause it just ads to the "Nerds" in here...Its really funny to see and read the "complanits"...screw all of them....

I still think the AK's have a undergroung Ho-Chi man tunnel in this place...for there GV attaks..lolol


Any ways...PIZZA??? I guess we should not print Maps of Italy cause it looks like a boot????  lolol

I think it looks kik bellybutton --the screen shots....Cant wait to roll my ostwind offa 1 000 foot cliff..lolol

Fantasy is "The creative imagination; unrestrained fancy." Syn. Imagination.

Simulation on the other hand is: "Imitation or representation, as of a potential situation."

This is a Simulation of sorts right?

Viper

Combat Simulation- but that's where it ends. If it were  a flight simulator and laid claim to "fly over realistic parts of the world and dogfight historical counterparts" it would be a REAL simulation.

As it is now, the MA is gamey land. CT, TOD, scenarios, etc are where the "simulation" in this game lay.

AK's!

You guys have dedicated your time and effort in doing something positive for the community, so that alone is worthy of praise. When performing community service in AH, there are two truths that you must always remember:

1. No matter how much good you do for the community, there will always be someone who does not appreciate it.

2. There are many multiples of people who do appreciate it, even if they don't say so on the BBS.

Keep the faith, brother AK's. You're doing the right thing. Many thanks for a job well done!

[AKIron]

Thanks banana and all the others with positive comments. Even with somewhat thick skin it still surprizes me how irritating a few negative comments can be.

No problem Viper.  Just looking forward to the chance to critique yours.  As are many others are I expect.

Many others already have. (just after towns were added)

BTW, the critique I recieved was based on a full release of the terrain, not just a silly looking map.
So if you folks think this 5 page irritation about a peace-a-pizza is bad, just wait until we get to fly in it!

In case you missed it....Here ya go.

>>Tell me then where in the real world you can find a river that is 20-25 miles across and encirles such a land mass? Or perhaps your definition of "rivers" is not the same as mine.<<

Well in a follow up post you answered yer own question
Yes, the Amazon River but, I was thinking of one closer to the contigous United States, and it aint a river, its a lake; Lake Huron which is 183 miles wide. Probably a moot point, the ships in AH move at a snails pace anyway

[AKIron]

I've never measured the speed of the ships in AH but I'd be willing to bet a beer they move at a rate commensurate with their real life counterparts within the scale of the terrain. Perhaps that wasn't the point of yer post?

Hey whaddaya know, it doesn't look like sh*t.

See Viper, that's how you comment on someone's terrain.

[CptTrips]

Well Viper, if you posted that in the hopes that I would stoop to your level and publicly slam a terrain you put effort into, you're mistaken.  That’s not how AK’s operate.

If my opinion had been asked, and if I had enough respect for you to want to lift a finger to assist, then I would explain to you based on our experience with HT why he might not accept that terrain in the MA.  But my opinion hasn’t been asked, and I have no desire to be of assistance to you in any way.  You might just wait until 1.10 and the first few patches are out the door and give HT a call.  Around 5pm CST seems best as things are starting to wind down there.  He would prolly be willing to explain to you the reasons why it might not work in the MA.

Its looks like a fine terrain for the CT, TOD, or scenarios.  I would contact Sabre or one of the CM’s if you are interested.

What I personally think of your terrain isn’t relevant.  As a member of the community, I am grateful to anyone who is willing to take the time and effort needed to build us a terrain no matter what arena it is put in. If for no other reason than variety.  So anyone willing to do that gets my thanks.  Even a piece of human excrement like you.

Regards,
Wab
