Yup, I know what you mean. The airfields and strat really need an update IHMO. And terrain tiles without trees in the middle of the roads.

Edit for spelling

Uh Bogie. Dux is lead Terrain CM. He knows very well what Blauk has contributed to the team. Just FYI.

Aaaah. Didn't know that. Thanks for the heads-up.

Are you allowed to disable select planes at select bases? I know ME-163 is disabled at all fields but those by the HQ. Can you disable late war planes along the front lines as log as it is fair for all countries?

What is the largest MA map you would allow? I believe standard is 3-400kb, would you allow 1mb? 800kb?

Do you want to keep it realistic? For example no 20k vertical walls, but instead 20k mountains?

Mid air spawns?

How about adding more biuldings that are already in the object list to the already exsisting Tank town or more barns and hills to the standard farm land?

Or am I stuck with the default amount of things on the tile?

Just asking for the tank town I'm trying to make.

Hitech Creations already said no custom objects, so kill the idea of custom tiles and objects.

With the new arena format our maps should not be larger than 256 miles or lower than 128, right?

Skuzzy · « **Reply #25 on:** December 22, 2006, 11:47:50 AM »

256 mile is the smallest an MA terrain can be.

Also now, with the new country capture system, you need to make sure to link 3 fields around the HQ of each country, making them uncapturable.

Use Ctrl+Right Mouse Click, on the map to draw the lines between the three fields.

do they have to be airfields or can they be vehicle bases too?

Make sure at least one is an airfield, preferably two.

{Answer} 256 mile is the smallest an MA terrain can be. {emphasis mine}

So I'm not sure I quite understood if the answer answered this - and a search turns up nothing.

If I planned to turn in a map for use in the MA, what is the maximum size I should generally make - or is the answer that it should be no larger than the smallest it can possibly be?

Thanks in a advance.

never mind - sometime an hour or 3 of study makes everything much more clear...
