hey thx for the kind words fellas
..
Thought you'd like some screenies
Being an Operation Flashpoint fan.. I wanted to use a light tan or straw color for grassland.
Both Mr Pluto and Blitz have been to Greece and say it doesn't really have that many trees... Well, I added trees anyway. Maybe thinned them out a bit. But you want to have a little bit of contrast.
Reading this forum the last couple of months I get the impression you guys prefer a short flight so this map is set up to be only a 25 or 35 mile flight to any base.
I suppose I should tell you, this is a 3 sided map.. You can close Turkey down if you want.... But why?... Maybe the Russions are in Turkey.. I know put the Brits in Albaina and Creete, Germans in Greece proper.. the the Itallians in...??... Turkey?..... naw that wouldn't make sense.
No city tile for this one. I used snow for what it's supposed to be used for.. snow... It's a lot better use for this tile as you can cover a larger area and adds contrast to map. There's still a couple of little places I need to touch up. (snow has to be surrounded by grassyrock eh)
No need really to add this last one.. You get the idea
But never mind the art.. I spent most of the time on this map making sure all the little stuff works.. the selection screen, the spawn points.. the task groups... Boy! I finally fully understand how taskgroups work now.. Seems you have to add waypoints to the CVTGs in the map making process.. sort of a primer for them.
Only thing left to do except a little art touchup is the trains/convoys, Greece is playable right now. Shoots, I'd love to play this right after Tunisa... you don't absolutly need trains/convoys do ya?..
