Some desert maps would be nice.  Snow as well.

How difficult would it be to simply swap out some colors and remove some trees on the existing maps?

Please dont be offended when I dont laugh.   :huh

You'd be light years ahead if you'd simply explain that changing the textures/colors/coding on existing maps is far more tasking than most non-coders undestand....   ;)

Changing the ground textures on an existing map would only take a few minutes.  Only the creator of each terrain has the files to those terrains to be able to open them in the T.E. and change them though.  Skuzzy has a copy of em also.  Custom textures add to the file size though, which HTC most likely wants to avoid for MA terrains.

As USRanger said, changing ground textures doesn't take a lot of work. It's what the custom textures do to terrain file-sizes that prevents their use in MA terrains.

Does anyone know how many maps that:.....

1. are ready/available that could be used?

2. out of those, how many of them we are actually using?

Might be the timing of when I can play but it just seems we are rotating through the same 3 or 4 maps.
